Portland State professor resigns claiming school has become a 'social justice factory whose only inputs are race, gender, and victimhood' where he was investigated and persecuted for daring to ask his students to think for themselves
  • Peter Boghossian worked at Portland State University for a decade as an assistant professor in the philosophy department
  • He quit this week with a scathing open letter, slamming the college for becoming a 'social justice factory'
  • Boghossian says students 'aren't taught to think' but only to agree with woke ideologies
  • He said that there was a clear 'intolerance of divergent beliefs'
  • Boghossian claimed he was retaliated against for challenging staff's ideas
  • Former NYT columnist Bari Weiss, who quit her role at the paper for the same apparent refusal to consider other, non-woke opinions, published his resignation letter on Substack
  • Boghossian previously submitted bogus research papers on topics like canine 'rape' to academic journals to prove how ridiculous ideas were accepted
  • Some of them were published, which proved Boghossian's point
  • SCROLL DOWN TO READ FULL RESIGNATION LETTER

University clears don of being anti-Islam but then cancels his course anyway after students launched 'vicious and militant' campaign



University chiefs rejected complaints that human rights expert Steven Greer (right) had expressed 'bigoted views' after a five-month investigation - but have still pulled his module from their syllabus. He accused senior academics of 'capitulating' to the threats of students who had called for the module at Bristol University's (left) law school to be scrapped. Critics claimed a lecture slide that mentioned the 2015 terror attack on the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a magazine that had published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, was 'Islamophobic rhetoric'. An online petition which was launched by members of the university's Islamic Society, Brisoc, (inset) attracted 3,700 signatures.

Villagers campaigning against gay sex parties at their 18th century former local pub are accused of 'hate crimes' against transgender owner



The men-only gatherings have been held twice a month for nearly three years at the former Old Hall Inn in Sea Palling, Norfolk. Now a small group of local residents has started demanding the end of the 'xxx club nites' run by a male social club called Norfolk Lab, whose website states the parties 'offer a safe and friendly environment where men can meet other men and have adult fun' in five playrooms, including a mock dungeon. But protesters set up a Facebook page called the Sea Palling Action Group (SPAG) to publicise complaints about the party nights. Matters boiled over when members allegedly used transphobic language on Facebook while talking about Mary Carberry, who describes herself as a transgender woman and bought the 18th Century property seven years ago. (Pictured, Pride protesters near Mary Carberry's home, inset, the former pub which is used for sex parties.)

The board was entertaining a resolution for a moment of silence to honor the victims of 9/11 on the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks but Omeish voted against the resolution, saying it was not 'anti-racist' and failed to address 'state-sponsored traumas.'Omeish's speech caused a parent to have an outburst and storm out as she yelled at the board 'Its a sham, its a show, enjoy it!' and also led to an op-ed from the Fairfax County Times that called for her censure and removal from the school board.

Follow-up.
The ETO has attributed the changes to prioritising “increased diversity in the orchestra,” something that’s in line with “firm guidance of the Arts Council.”

The Arts Council, which provides funding to the ETO, has responded by saying that they did not advise the opera company to fire musicians as part of their work to increase diversity in classical music.

“We did not instruct the English Touring Opera to send this letter,” the Arts Council has said. “We are now in conversation with ETO to ensure no funding criteria have been breached.”
