Miss New Jersey Contestant Slams Campus Censorship on Stage
“The mere words ‘I’m offended’ are now being used as an excuse to silence students, fire professors and cancel people simply because they do not know the popular line of thought.”
Miss Northern Highlands Justine Murray went off on campus censorship on stage at the Miss New Jersey pageant:
“Our generation is experiencing an epidemic of censorship and entitlement. And it’s because our professors and our celebrities are teaching students to be narcissists, to believe that any of you that differs from their own is an existential threat,” she said in a video posted to Twitter of the competition.
“And this is what I experienced on my own campus with censorship to the point where people believe that speech is violence so that they can threaten other people with violence, simply because they disagree with them.”

“It is listed first under the Bill of Rights for a reason. Without it, all other liberties crumble. But today, we’re watching free speech get hammered to the ground by the very institutions that are supposed to promote diversity of thoughts,” she said.
“The mere words ‘I’m offended’ are now being used as an excuse to silence students, fire professors and cancel people simply because they do not know the popular line of thought,” she continued.
Murray concluded, “And that’s what I experienced – an Orwellian phenomenon, dominating my own campus to the point where it got borderline violent.”
This was my onstage interview for Miss New Jersey. I didn’t win. I didn’t even place. But I wouldn’t have changed a single word.#FreeSpeech #AntiPCPageantQueen pic.twitter.com/zvoJ3CAWRa

Wow!!!!
We have another brave hero!
Make her famous.
She will be. She will be held up as an example of the racism inherent in the system of white supremacy and privilege. How Dare she advocate for diversity of thought!
That is one brave girl.
Bravo!
She has inter beauty, shows intelligence and character. External beauty is always temporary, typically lasting 10 to 20 years, inner beauty lasts far longer, sometimes surviving through menopause 🙂
She is fantastic. She will have an awesome future. Objective truth, logic and reason are all under assault by the woke activists. People that still think will be leaders of the moronic followers. There’s a backlash coming.
They won’t lead the moronic followers; if they are very lucky, they’ll leave them far behind them so as not to foul their own propellers.
And New Jersey of all places. Gives you hope that something good occasionally comes out of Nazareth
What an extraordinary young woman. Courage in the face of diversity (thought, not color) and adversity. Right on liberty for all. Following the principles and spirit embodied in our conservative philosophy.
What a weak response to her speech. You know they were pissed
Now I understand why beauty pageant finalists are not too bright—they’re not allowed to be.
. And it’s because our professors and our celebrities are teaching students to be narcissists,

Mom and Dad’s cell phones were the beginnings, those others just ramped up the wattage.
Homely. Dumb, too.
I don’t think that’s a fair comment at all. She is clearly passionate about what she says and there is a debate about the nature of cancel culture etc. Free speech is a foundational principle of any functioning democracy so I applaud her for that.
Definitely not homely. Your “dumb” is my “brave”. She’s doing the right thing, even if it’s a much harder road to travel than shutting up and being persecuted.
“The mere words ‘I’m offended’ are now being used as an excuse to silence students, fire professors and cancel people simply because they do not know the popular line of thought,” she continued.
Sorry no, they are being silenced, fired and cancelled because they do know that the “popular line of thought” is and they reject the “popular line of thought” as false. That’s the reason. Not because they don’t know but because they do know and reject it. Just my 2¢
Jewish, hot, and conservative. I think I’m in love.
she isn’t saying “don’t know the current” if you listen to her it is they do not TOE the current…just saying transcription is incorrect.
Hooray for the patriot!!!!!!
