Quote:The University of Cincinnati is investigating comments a music professor made on a Muslim student’s assignment after they were shared on social media.

Among the professor’s notes: “July 4th is not the day we tape a sign to a damn stick and go out and march with smug college brats and dysphoric drama queens.”

College-Conservatory of Music Assistant Professor Clifford Adams’ comments first went public Thursday when another UC student posted a photo of the exchange on Facebook.

Fay Alwattari’s post shows that her friend wrote about the song “Walk on Water” for a class assignment: “I am a Middle Eastern Muslim female therefore Trump’s presidency and all the hate he has promoted and encouraged has impacted my family, friends, and I. This song restores my faith in America by depicting what America is really about and why we celebrate July 4th. It includes a diverse range of people from white, black, young, old, straight and gay all coming together to celebrate the birth of a country that is built off the idea of freedom.”

Adams’ responses, according to the screenshot:



The comments were able to be seen by all students in Adams’ online “What’s Hot in Popular Music” class, according to Alwattari’s post.

It's my understanding that this professor is known for his sarcasm. I am under the impression that his comments were more tongue-in-cheek as a opposed to what his true feelings are (in order words, he was mocking the #MAGA crowd).

The author of this article from the Enquirer is a hard core leftist who apparently is assigned to the university beat in town. She frequently posts stories of outrage about going-ons on campus (earlier in the year she went on a diatribe about how unfair it was that the women's basketball team had to play at a high school gymnasium while the men are playing Northern Kentucky University this season while the basketball arena is under construction).

Bottom line I don't think there's much to see here.

Yes. If he said anything more sternly than that then you guys would spontaneously crap your pants.

If there is any sarcasm in that response, it is the worst attempt at sarcasm ever.

Do you genuinely think a Muslim American woman should not be able to complain while in America? So the existence of worse conditions elsewhere somehow acts as a justification of the conditions here?

I think the guise of "academic freedom" held so preciously sacred by the radical left should apply in this case as well. Unless, of course, the radical left openly admits their hypocrisy.

He response, regardless of the content, is perfectly acceptable.

Right?

I genuinely have no idea what you're trying to say here. Instead of attributing whatever you want to my justification, why not just respond to what I wrote, or have written?

I apologize. I thought my response directly addressed your comment. I'm surprised it came across as ambiguous. I guess that goes to show assumptions are dangerous.

Anyway, let me see if this better explains my thoughts...


What I'm saying is that we allow filth to permeate college classrooms and on-campus groups -- under the rallying cry of "academic freedom."

We allow radical groups to engage with impunity on college campuses -- under they rallying cry of "academic freedom."

When somebody says something contrary to the leftist PC mantra the radical left plays the "my feelings are hurt" card.

Should it really go both ways or should it be consistent?


He's a college professor. He gave an alternate view in his own classroom. Granted that view was not SJW-PC approved, but doesn't he qualify for "academic freedom?"
