Student "Tyrants In Training" Demand Journalists Swear Loyalty Oath Before Reporting On Them
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Students and faculty at Smith College apparently didn’t want a repeat of that ugly episode at the University of Missouri, where a communications professor was filmed calling for the forcible removal of a journalist from an on-campus demonstration earlier this month.
So when they held a sit-in Wednesday to protest racial discrimination, their solution was to not let in members of the media in the first place — unless said media members pledged allegiance to the cause.
– From the Washington Post article: These College Protesters are Demanding the Media Who Cover Them Support Their Cause
In yesterday’s post, Not a Safe Space – Canadian University Suspends Yoga Class After Students Become Offended, I explained how those most responsible for the almost inconceivable authoritarian idiocy spreading across college campuses are not the students themselves, but their spineless and inept administrators.
These kids are more or less acting like Wall Street financiers after the bailouts. After the bankers were provided with trillions of dollars in backstops and no one went to jail for destroying the economy, they immediately paid themselves record bonuses a year after the worst of the crisis, and are now once again thieving and pillaging at will.
Why? Because no one is held accountable, the incentives are in place to steal. Similarly, no adults are holding these out of control child-fascists accountable for their despicable behavior. As such, these tyrants-in-training are getting more out of control every day, and getting away with it. Thank you college administrators.
In the latest example of the above, I present to you the stupidity of Smith College.
From the Washington Post:
Students and faculty at Smith College apparently didn’t want a repeat of that ugly episode at the University of Missouri, where a communications professor was filmed calling for the forcible removal of a journalist from an on-campus demonstration earlier this month.
So when they held a sit-in Wednesday to protest racial discrimination, their solution was to not let in members of the media in the first place — unless said media members pledged allegiance to the cause.
To be fair, it seems they’ve simply learned a lesson from the U.S. military when it comes to propaganda “reporting” from war zones. This remarkable passage comes from MassLive.com, whose reporter was turned away:
Alyssa Mata-Flores, a 21-year-old Smith College senior and one of the sit-in’s organizers, explained that the rule was born from “the way that media has historically painted radical black movements as violent and aggressive.”
“We are asking that any journalists or press that cover our story participate and articulate their solidarity with black students and students of color,” she told MassLive in the Student Center Wednesday. “By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight.”
Smith organizers said journalists were welcome to cover the event if they agreed to explicitly state they supported the movement in their articles.
Wait, it gets better/worse:
Stacey Schmeidel, Smith College director of media relations, said the college supports the activists’ ban on media.
“It’s a student event, and we respect their right to do that, although it poses problems for the traditional media,” Shmeidel said.
Schmeidel went on to say that the college reserves the right to remove reporters from the Student Center because it’s a private campus.
Smith is, indeed, a private school — $63,950 per year worth of private school — which is a relevant differentiator from the state-run University of Missouri. And if students and faculty need to discuss sensitive issues behind closed doors, they’re certainly entitled to do so.
But to welcome some reporters and not others — and to make support for the cause the price of admission — is to disregard not only the fundamental principles of journalism but also the school itself (though Smith is the place where the student newspaper censored “crazy” in a published transcript last year, calling it an “ableist slur”).
Incredibly, the only lesson college students and administrators learned from the Mizzou incident where a faculty member asked for “muscle” to remove a reporter from public space, was to ban neutral reporters altogether.
Meanwhile, we recently learned that 40% of millennials are in favor of discarding free speech. If these kids represent the future of America, we are in deep, deep trouble.

The utterly ridiculous and retarded Leftist Liberals. SO DUMB.
They are applying a PROVEN formula applied across the board on certain taboo subjects in the 'main stream', and attempting to expand the franchise to their new pet taboo subjects. The lesson from the 'main stream' is that the strategy will work if they are able to align with powerful financial interests.
God help these big babies in the workplace.
Progessive universities (spit) have Fed them leftist intellectual pablum and taught them that their foot stomping tantrums should be validated. Instead they should have been put over Dean Wormers knee and cracked hard in the ass with a cricket paddle.
They'll do just fine being bigGub / bigCorp / bigBank lackeys, and they will take pride in it. It's you and I who be screwed.
Imagine their parents.... *head essplodes*

I volunteer to spend time with the young women at Smith. I'll even sign a loyalty oath.
I wonder if these Social Justice Warriors realize the only press they're getting on these "noble causes' is the running joke on just how fucking lame and stupid they all are.
I would say that is why they don't want the press in there, but that would be giving them too much credit.
Except that I guarantee that the vast majority of that 40% comes from families who do not support the 2nd Amendment.
I would be encouraged of the other 60% just want the SJW to STFU already
I'm glad that white people are finally learning to hate other white people. You folk were created in the basement by demons. It's time to fight the power.
Do I have to be lumped in with these retards? That schtick is soo ten years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_oath#2004_Bush_presidential_campaign
A friend of mine went to Smith almost 20 years ago. There was a sign on the wall in the Woman's restroom stating "Heterosexuality is a Disease". These lunatics have had a long head start. It doesn't help matters that the town of Northampton Mass. is extremely Liberal and 35% of the population is Lesbian. Looks like they've finally found a star to hitch their wagon to.
show them 10" reality and next thing you know they won't want to hang around with those metrosexual retards anymore.
Coinhead - go play some push me pull you with your Satoshi being as you two are such an item, and leave the rest of us out of your love life.
Yeah, people who work at big banks are leftists who don't work any hours. Fucking moron.
Thanks for the insult, and enjoy your enslavement to bigBank.
p.s. I never said anything about hours worked. Long hours worked for the tyrant never did anyone any good...
hey chris88, rather than name calling, and raising straw men; how about enlightening me as to the arduous meaningful nature of the "work" performed by big bank employees
Work? What work? The only future these fucktards have is to get liberated into an army of freedom, to be sent to some far shore to die for "democracy", fighting the "communists". They're being programmed to shut up and follow orders, nothing else.
"The utterly ridiculous and retarded Leftist Liberals. SO DUMB."
Ordinarily I would call you out for using labels and playing the left/right game, but I have to agree with your sentiments on this occasion.
"Sad that a comment such as this gets so many upvotes. The division of Americans by concepts such as "progressive" and "conservative" is a key part of the plan of the oligarchs, and should be near the top of the list of this author's "fake" constructs in America."
-LTER, replying to us in another thread where we bash progressives
So which is it, Rand? Is there a gaping, irreconcilable chasm between conservatives and progressives, or are they merely hapless groups pitted against each other? Take a look at the threads here, #blacklivesmatter, SJWs, LGBQ, etc. are FURTHERING the agenda of the oligarchs. Tea Party conservatives, on the other hand, stand in direct opposition demanding restoration of the Republic, small government, sound money, and rule of law. Just like individuals, groups are not created equally. By the way, we greened you here.
I know you know better. Your comment earlier tonight that evoked my response that you quoted, was a blanket statement that progressives are at fault for our current ills. Many who call themselves Tea Party conservatives are also full blown MIC and spy state supporters. Progressives are no more at fault for our current ills than Tea Party conservatives. And I would say the people who identify as being members of both groups are by and large not what they claim.
Look this up for yourself so you don't make this blunder again because it is a fact. Approximately a century ago the CPUSA realized that the word "communist" was toxic and, being the shameless liars they are, began calling themselves "progressives". Again, this is not up for debate, it is what happed, it is a fact. We don't have a problem with liberals/Democrats, hell, Thomas Jefferson was a classical liberal. Progressives, however, are an entirely different animal. ALL of these SJWs, including the Alinskyites in the White House, are progressives. So many, even here on ZH, go brain dead when they hear the word "communist". We're not sure why, but brainwashing is the obvious answer. And no, Tea Partiers despise the MIC because those are the sumbitches who want to disarm us!
Team Depends -- I mean this in all sincerity. You need to get out more. Sarah Palin called herself a Tea Partier. And so do many others who do not agree with your views. My point stands -- these labels are destructive and deceptive.
"these labels are destructive and deceptive"... to which I would add "the way they are currently used"
there is a lot of "democracy" vs "republic" talk behind it, but at the end the main cause for all this (political) dichtonomy (definition: "Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions" is very, very simple: a voting system that mandates that one winner takes it all, which then results in only two sides having a chance to win
result: it's either US or THEM
Albert Einstein's dictum: "everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"
I'm a free-thinking, Robo-American!
Don't look behind the curtain....
Me too. I'm a pretty big liberal, but this shit is getting out-of-hand.
30 years ago, there was right, centre and left. Now there is Trump, right, centre, left, and the social justice warriors.
"Now there is Trump, right, centre, left, and the social justice warriors."
Some would call that progress. Others realize that it's actually us vs THEM. And THEY have created as many possible, artificial, divides between us that any word typed is liable to piss someone off.
"Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious. "
O. Wells
They keep the proles fighting amongst themselves, they never question Big Brother.
...and the permanently silenced, a movement growing steadily six feet at a time.
All of these divisions are taking us away from what we really should be paying attention to: US vs. THEM (psychopaths). And this is by design as much as black vs. white, muslim vs. Christian, etc.
None of this shit STOPS until we realize what is happening and stand together to STOP IT. And that's the bottom line.
Whie I acknowledge that the Left/Right paradigm is a facade meant for the sole purpose of conquering, dividing, and fucking the American populace in the ass, I do have to admit that I can get particularly infuriated with the Left at times.
With Right, at least the things they preach about take a slight degree of investigation and foresight to see through. But the fucking Lefties drive me up a wall because quite literally EVERYTHING they preach about can be dismantled by using a a minimal degree of critical thinking capacity, mathematics, and a good read through a history book- more or less.
Alas, at the end of the day though, both sides are manipulated through emotion and guilt-tripping tactics.
Left Wing Paradigm?
Welfare/Socialism/Government-Forced Theft? It's your duty to help the poor and defenseless! Paying taxes for unsustainable, fraudulent green energy companies? But we need to save the trees! Shaming whites and letting blacks get away with murder? But we owe it to them because of slavery! Paying for a self-admitted fraudulent and unsustainable healthcare initiative? Everyone deserves the right to health!
Right Wing Paradigm?
Start wars that are killing and ruining the lives of millions in the ME? For 9/11! Crony corporations and banks that practice tax avoidance (and an untold number of other financial crimes)? Poor corporations! They already have to deal with so much as it is! You are are just a lazy-ass freeloader. After all, they were just playing by the rules! Domestic Surveillance as an issue? But we are protecting you from those terrorists who will murder your wife, children, and family!
They act like they actually care about these "issues" when in reality, they are playing you like a fucking fiddle and laughing all the way to the bank.
Dead on. It is very hard to extract one's self from the tornado to see it objectively. But we must try.
My quote
There's so much good in the worst of us, and
There's so much bad in the best of us, that
It's hard to tell which of us
Should reform the rest of us.
The eye of the twister is horrible, only upon entering do you realize exactly how many fucking crazy people are really out there. Wandering around. Nobody is even watching them. And the driver of this bus isn't even paying attention to the fucking road. We're doomed.
No different than Jews who label everyone anti-semites if you disagree with them. Antisemitism IS a trick!!!!! oh dear => http://wp.me/p4OZ4v-1Ow
No different than Muslims and their supporters who label anyone as an Islamophobe if you dare disagree with them. Islamaphobiaism IS a trick!!!!! oh dear
Inshallah infidel.
yet they have your money
They're only parroting the drivel they've been 'educated' by; and these are to become the kaptons of industree in the near future.
Yep, but more like the Captains of a Maoist Cultural Revolution.
I so can't wait for all these little losers to get out into the real world. LOL!!!!!
There is no real world. LOL!!!!!
Those tits are very real. We all, collectively, paid for them.
Mmmm, Tits... it would be cool if they had a third one on their back, for slow dancing...
Rebels without a clue.
Or as we say in IT.
Rebel without a Where Clause
When the S finally hits the F these delicate whiners are going to be so lost.
Most of these little runts can't cook a meal if their life depended on it.
I dated a few Smithies in my time. I heard a lot of tales about the student body. Prescription meds run like water through the dorms. Might explain a lot about their behavior.
Maybe not...Fema camps will need them as sex slaves and someone to clean the porta-potties...
If the CIA can own the entire media, the students can own a few journalists, eh? The CIA should be recruiting these students:
"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." -- William Colby, former CIA Director
They do not want journalists they want a PR firm.
The final step/realization is that most all 'journalism' is PR for someone.
No argument here.
When I see them protesting in front of the WH for the "Jobs Jobs Jobs" they were...ummm, promised...I'll cut the kids some slack.
UNTIL THEN...they are the well tended sheep their tenured professors want them to be.
It will happen, more of us grow disillusioned every day...
Well I think 90% of tenured university professors, 95% of the administrators and 100% of the public school officials should be fired for allowing non-crtical thinking youtz to pass through under their guidance into "our society".
But hey, thats jus me ;-)
Fuck em. Lie to their face and then report how much of a shithead they are. All it would take is simple video.
COMMIES IN TRAINING!!!
These rat bastards can't handle the truth. They are like ants under the magnifying glass of scrutiny.
Silly little people thinking the universe revolves around them.
Reality, like karma, can be a bitch.
We all knew this was coming. When all you do is promote feelings first, common sense goes last.
And fuck these students too.
I need a student handbook with pixtures before I commit to that.
As long as they're not all pre-op trannies what's the problem?
Dinner and a movie would be nice...
Remember though, these young, pointy skulls full of mush will be our next politicians and leaders on local, state and federal levels. You think Obama and Yellen and Emmanuel and Hillary are bad? Just wait until the millenials are in charge. God help us.
My son, a major in mineralogy and mining, decided to take a political science class as a humanities elective. He then decided to defend the position in a debate that mining of essential resources is actually beneficial to society as a whole. From that point on, no one in the class spoke to him even though the "professor" conceeded that he had won the debate.
My Calculus 2 prof had some students bitch that a certain exam was not fair. He just told them that there objection was impossible.
Probably had the poor dears scratching their heads for a week figuring out what he meant.
To give you a viewpoint (from '08) of how dum-as-brix most of these kollege kids are, even in STEM:
I partied all night on a Saturday, spent all day Sunday sickly hungover without studying, and took an 8:00am midterm for a applied statistics/probability in EE course on Monday. Answered three out of four questions [perfectly], got 150/200 on the test, and set the curve in the class by a big margin. Icing on the cake - you were allowed a sheet of notes when taking the midterm.
Pathetic!
Can't imagine how much dumber they've gotten.
I am so disgusted with the spoiled, rotten, little, crying, selfish ,self centered, ignorant, whining, shit for brains youth. Your parents are to blame mostly for under preparing you for reality. You are going to get your asses handed to you when you leave college, because you don't care about anyone or anything...except yourselves.
The gimme generation, footstompers and birdie lips.
This is what you get when everyone is guaranteed an Education. You get communist idiots.
Hitler Youth
You are far too generous, the H.J. sacrificed themselves for the final defense of Berlin. All these bamayoutz want to know is what's in it for them and how soon can they have it.
Except these yutes ain't White. Hitler Youth would be loading these untermensch onto boxcars.
..and if you got a problem with that, you're just Aryanophobic.
i'd pull my kid out of that school so fast his head would spin if he tried that crap.
If my kid was not taking anything in the STEM program I would have to deduce that he must be on a drugs or even worse a student loan.

I was recently discussing politics with a current law student who also served in Iraq and is still on reserve- my head nearly exploded at the hypocrisy and pure insanity of him trying to convince me of the reality/seriousness of "microaggressions"
*microaggressions*... LOL. Is that like when I got bad swamp ass and the two cheeks are dukin it out?
That there sounds like more of a macroaggression!
He was probably pumped full of experimental vaccines. No lol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNRKvjThTwg No wonder offspring of politica correctness doesn't want any filming. These fires were fanned from small ashes of racism by the race baiters of academia.
Seriously, who really gives a shit? As soon as they graduate, they will all disappear into their parents basements, and we will never hear from the whiners again...
If I see a resume from Smith College, it's going into the garbage can immediately.
I've already banned any resume that has a degree date later than 2004.

Not that the the cause of these students are laudable,but what are you defending ? The Journalists who have sold their rights to be independent reporters of facts and purvey the many twisted Agendas of the Oligarchy. Journalism as a profession is as muddy as Others.
it's amazing that these fascists are whining about a system that is totally rigged in their favor
nailed it
Every day, colleges and their students become a more ridiculous parody of themselves. In 2025 I might walk into a room and see my 20-yo daughter laughing while 30-somethings lie twitching on the floor foaming at the mouth.
And I'll say, "Sally, stop triggering the Millennials!"

Jesus sounds like what you hear about the Khemr Rouge and the Cultural Revolution.
people think the fema camps are going to be for old white Christians, their wrong, they have to many assets that need to extracted by the fed..
their getting it extracted at a very quick pace, and mostly because old white Christians are supporting their immediate, and extended family members.
when those assets are gone there's going to be a majority of Americans very unhappy, beings millennials are the majority now, with a bleak outlook for several generations to come.
we're in the democracy stage of the fall of america, over 50% of Americans on govt. assistance and will vote for whoever promises them the most monetarily, this means 50% of Americans will be govt. aided direct discriminated against legally with the vote, within 10yrs. it will be 60-70%, this will be the socialist stage, the upper middle-class will go the way of the middle-class, Americas complete failure, guaranteed by the fed., politics, and Obama-care.
I was always an optimist for america to survive, but these last 7 yrs. have changed my mind, to many of the most powerful in control of Americas govt,, are un-American, or blatantly anti-American.
Israel wants the worlds permission to nuke Iran if they deem necessary because they threatened Israel.
currently we don't know many jihadist have walked across our border, or were given visas, and invited in, and our govt. wants 10's of thousands more let in and they've threatened to kill as many Americans, and e.u. citizens, just as Israelis.
Israel has walls and border fences, and will not except any Syrian refugees, why the difference?
Yup, about the same. About 7 years ago I started to realize that the United States was not going to making any comebacks.
The system will collapse and there will be lots of pain and hardship, but there remains hope in what comes out of that.
The necessity of reduced expectations can give _The Road_ a happy ending.
Would YOU hire any of these whiners? If I saw their college listed on a resume, it would go right into the shredder!
Why would you hire some who has a degree that ends with the word 'studies'?
You just trying to make the quota?
The namby pamby lefty losers can feel free to use a pistol toothbrush.
They're graduating. They're getting degrees. They're becoming lawyers, doctors, administrators... this shit is spreading like an uncontained wildfire. Just wait till they become judges and politicians and start legislating this shit. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Look, these kids aren't smart enough to organize on a national level such as this. Many of them were in high school last trying to get to second base. This is organized by the power and money of George Soros and his merry band of communists in tights. Someone should get him wet.
64k a year and THIS is what these twats are doing? Someone should tell their parents it's not too late to beat them.
"By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight." Said with le Pepe face? Well that's my morning giggle.
I swore a loyalty oath to my right to bear arms. It eliminated a lot of the lefty bullshit.
People always like to think that it is the dumb, inbred, hillbilly that makes the best jackboot thug, but they are wrong. The most ruthless and vicious are the zealots, the true believers. That is the scariest thing to me. These children really believe they are right and that will make them either the futures greatest danger or it's greatest hope. It only depends on which side they go all in on
I'm not sure they need to be taken that seriously. If socialism managed one last bloodletting hurrah, I'd see them as more like the unwitting lambs led to slaughter in WWI. Thinking of the US civil war, it took far greater numbers and massive losses on the North's part to subdue the far more dangerous southern "hillbilly" operating in his own back country. The thugs among them may be dangerous to the urban/suburban populace but they'd never make a cohesive fighting force. The rest are just grown up dependant children that can only thrive in this era of unsustainable government largesse.
I think they're angry at the fact they're black, but grew up in the suburbs with white kids. They take Afican American studies where they're told that, despite their middle to upper class upbringing, the vast majority of blacks, whom they've never met, live in poverty and in violence-prone neighborhoods only because of institutional racism. They're told it is everywhere, in every institution, every organization, in every white person. They're told to think of any time they've ever felt they were treated differently from someone else and to blame racism for it. They're told that their mostly white friends from their mostly white high schools never really respected them because of the inherent racism pervading white culture. They're given statistic after statistic about how people who share the color of their skin are inferior to people that do not share that color. They are told that they, as individuals, are inferior because of the institutional racism around them.
So here you are, 18 or 19 and you're told that your life has been nothing but a lie, that your friends were never really your friends unless they shared the color of your skin, that everyone who is not black is racist and wants nothing but bad things to happen to you. You're going to be confused. All of your presumptions about who you were are now gone. You're a blank slate and desperately looking for something to fill the void. Activism is the solution you're offered. You feel apart of something. Your identity is validated again.
The truth is that it's all bullshit. Every cult, gang, religion, political party, etc. does the exact same thing. Hell, the military is an expert at it. Break 'em down, build 'em into Marines! Break 'em down, build 'em into black social justice warriors!
The sad irony is that more they blame their ills on the white bogeyman, the more beholden they become to him.
