Killington is Woke

[madhatter]

more BLM related attacks on religion...

We have been following controversies over free speech on campuses, particularly in recent weeks involving faculty and student critics of the ongoing protests or the “Defund The Police” movement. Indeed, I have a column on those concerns this morning. The most recent controversy concerns a Catholic chaplain, Daniel Moloney, who has resigned as chaplain for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His removal followed his reference to the criminal record of George Floyd and equivocating comments on the problem of racism in police departments. His case raises the question of whether the free speech concerns should be treated differently for non-academic positions.

Moloney was cited for a June 7th email to the Tech Catholic Community, a group of Catholic students on campus. In the email, Moloney denounced the killing and the racism in society. However, he referred to Floyd’s criminal record and that fact that he had drugs in his system at the time of the arrest before stating “we do not kill such people. He committed sins, but we root for sinners to change their lives and convert to the Gospel.” Moloney also stated that we still do not know if the killing was based on racism or whether racism is a “major problem in police forces. I don’t think we know that.”

MIT’s Dean for Student Life, Suzy Nelson, declared that Moloney’s message “contradicted the Institute’s values” and “was deeply disturbing” and that “by devaluing and disparaging George Floyd’s character.”

The Archdiocese of Boston declared that Moloney’s comments “were wrong and by his resignation he accepts the hurt they have caused.” Moloney himself apologized but the Archdiocese reportedly told Moloney to resign from his role as chaplain, according to the Boston Globe.

hatter, please, include links.

i heard about a school in VT suspending a principal over a tweet. much like ME TOO's trail of cowardly organization axe-wielding as a sort of purification ritual that does little to address broader issues that require more, not less debate, discussion and redress.

Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress.

You'll argue his testimony proves nothing because he might be lying, but you won't post any proof that he's lying. Instead, you're going to post several bold (maybe red, too) examples, which are not representative samples of the population, and attempt to assert aberrations are representative when really they only demonstrate human moderators (or human built moderation automation) are prone to error and not infallible.

zzzzz....

hatter do you really *need* to copy and paste every post so that you can add one line of new text. we can all scroll up, or follow the thread, though all the wasted real estate just clutters things up and reduces the discussion to a one on one wrestling match.

maybe that's the point?

it's called "quote" it's a feature here... I do it so whoever can't post "where did I say that?" or " I don't know what you are talking about" or "quote please" or whatever ridiculous BS you guys use for deflection...

back to the fantasy of "woke" ( which really means " do what they tell you")

despite the plethora of obvious fabrications from the left, nearly every one of you still anxiously grasps on to the next fabrication...no matter how absurd...trump is a russain agent, kavanaugh ran a secret rape ring in college, white cops are systematically killing black people for no reason other than race, etc etc...it's really rather sickening to see...

I asked for proof that the statements regarding FB aren't true, not some halfass defense of planned parenthood...

you've posted numerous falsehoods in this thread and have never acknowledged a single one...

when you have an actual gripe ya don't need to fabricate evidence to support it...

here's yet another example of the ridiculous and continuous attacks on trump from the tech crowd...



so now enforcing the law is "abusive behavior"?

no. of course not, the goal is to convince ( barely) useful idiots that trump is abusive by citing " X number" of times he was flagged on twitter for "abusive behavior"

I see what passes for "fact checking" on FB ( and elsewhere)...it's a joke...pure politics...

all of this is nothing more than a desperate power grab by anyone on the left who has any lever of power to pull...this won't turn out well for anyone...
