Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Just once, I want to hear a university come out and congratulate protesters over a “women are property” sign.
KXAN:
Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse on Thursday responded to a campus demonstration that happened earlier in the week where people were seen carrying signs with “homophobic and misogynistic messages,” on them, in Damphousse’s words.
Two men — who were not affiliated with the university — were seen on campus Wednesday afternoon carrying signs with the language, according to Damphousse. KXAN also received several photos of the signs via our ReportIt email. The signs depicted messages calling women property and insinuating homosexuality is a sin, among other messages. One of the signs had a religious-affiliated website named on the bottom of it.
Damphousse’s letter, posted to the university’s website Thursday, read in part that the “type of behavior” displayed Wednesday “runs so contrary to the values that we hold at TXST — in particular, that we respect and value others and that we believe that all Bobcats belong here.”
He also said the type of messages expressed by the demonstrators “sow confusion, anger, distrust, bitterness, fear, and anxiety.”
Well, maybe that’s true for some.
But for others, they inspire hope and joy.
Wouldn’t the two things at least cancel each other out and just make the signs “neutral”?
The demonstrators left campus after about an hour, according to Damphousse. While there, university police monitored them, eventually drawing a crowd of students, faculty and staff.
No arrests were made, but Damphousse wrote in his statement that the university is “exploring potential legal responses as we learn more.”
What the fuck?
In Damphousse’s letter, he said the incident was upsetting to him “because nothing is more important than the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students. These men made our campus community feel unsafe, and that disturbs me deeply.”
He also acknowledged that it may have been particularly disturbing to some because of the timing of the incident occurring the day after a presidential election that was “charged with emotion.”
“Even though the timing may not have been intentional, it may have seemed like these events were related,” Damphousse said. “It is my hope that we will strive to focus on the things that unite us, treat each other with respect, and support each other as we learn, serve, inspire, and discover.”
Damphousse also addressed the reason the men were allowed on campus to begin with, citing free speech laws.
If there are free speech laws, why did you expect them to be arrested and why are you now “exploring potential legal responses”?
