Conservatives Need Not Apply

      Comments Off on Conservatives Need Not Apply

It is becoming increasingly obvious that our system of “higher” education is closed off to students with conservative viewpoints.  Such students are pilloried for their views.  They are doxxed and smeared in an attempt to get them removed from the college or university where they are attending.  Many of these smear campaigns are outright lies used to enrage the mob so that school administrators will cave to their demands.

The Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigor.  Any person who graduated from a Jesuit-run institution was presumptively well educated, morally centered, and capable of reasoning.  Marquette University is one such Jesuit institution.  Marquette has consistently been highly ranked among American universities.

Despite this and the Jesuit reputation for intellectual debate, Marquette University became the latest school to put a conservative student through the meat grinder.  Samantha Pfefferle, an incoming freshmen, posted a video on TikTok showing her support of President Trump.

This led to violent blowback by left-wing terrorists on the internet.  One recommended “someone burn her house down.”  Another said, “I hope you get shot.”

The trolls then went to work and figured out that Samantha was headed to Marquette.  I wonder how long it took them to figure that out since she is wearing a Marquette sweatshirt in the video. One person created a form letter demanding that Marquette eject her.

This is what the left does all the time.  They try to isolate the individual and then bully them into submission.  This was typical mob-run cancel culture, Alinsky’s Rule #13.  The left cannot afford to engage in a rational discussion of ideologies since they know how weak theirs is.

The good people of America came to her defense when the story got out.  They strongly encouraged Marquette to reconsider their decision to give the incoming freshman an ultimatum.   Donald Trump, Jr got involved.

At this point Samantha is still an incoming freshman.

This is not China.  This is not Cuba.  This is not Venezuela.  What this is is discrimination, plain and simple.  If Marquette does decide in the long run to ruin this young woman’s college experience, then perhaps it is time to #cancelMarquette.

It is good to see quiet, unassuming Americans starting to speak up loudly about the lunacy that the left is spreading.  It is time for more of that.
