Prof Greets Incoming Class of Precious Snowflakes with Speech Crushing Their PC Beliefs

By Michael Hausam (23 days ago) | Education

Mike Adams, a professor at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington is not your stereotypical left-wing teacher. On the heels of a report that showed that liberal arts professors overwhelmingly support Democrats, Adams’ semester-opening statement to his students has gone viral.

First printed in Townhall in late August, over the last few days it has been reprinted multiple times.

[Trigger warning: The following is extraordinarily insensitive and its candor may cause some students to be highly offended. Symptoms of being confronted with viewpoints other than one’s own may cause one to get “the vapors” and students have even been known to collapse in a fainting spell upon reading offensive literature. Reader discretion is advised.]

Here is what he said to his students:

Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your criminology professor here at UNC-Wilmington. Before we get started with the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman.

Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so. In part, I blame your high school teachers for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma. Most of you went to the public high schools, which are a disaster. Don’t tell me that offended you. I went to a public high school.

Of course, your high school might not be the problem. It is entirely possible that the main reason why so many of you are confused about free speech is that piece of paper hanging on the wall right over there. Please turn your attention to that ridiculous document that is framed and hanging by the door. In fact, take a few minutes to read it before you leave class today. It is our campus speech code. It specifically says that there is a requirement that everyone must only engage in discourse that is “respectful.” That assertion is as ludicrous as it is illegal. I plan to have that thing ripped down from every classroom on campus before I retire.

One of my grandfathers served in World War I. My step-grandfather served in World War II. My sixth great grandfather enlisted in the American Revolution when he was only thirteen. These great men did not fight so we could simply relinquish our rights to the enemy within our borders. That enemy is the Marxists who run our public universities. If you are a Marxist and I just offended you, well, that’s tough. I guess they don’t make communists like they used to.

Unbelievably, a student once complained to the Department chairwoman that my mention of God and a Creator was a violation of Separation of Church and State. Let me be as clear as I possibly can: If any of you actually think that my decision to paraphrase the Declaration of Independence in the course syllabus is unconstitutional then you suffer from severe intellectual hernia.

Indeed, it takes hard work to become stupid enough to think the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional. If you agree with the student who made that complaint then you are probably just an anti-religious zealot. Therefore, I am going to ask you to do exactly three things and do them in the exact order that I specify.

First, get out of my class. You can fill out the drop slip over at James Hall. Just tell them you don’t believe in true diversity and you want to be surrounded by people who agree with your twisted interpretation of the Constitution simply because they are the kind of people who will protect you from having your beliefs challenged or your feelings hurt.

Second, withdraw from the university. If you find that you are actually relieved because you will no longer be in a class where your beliefs might be challenged then you aren’t ready for college. Go get a job building houses so you can work with some illegal aliens who will help you gain a better appreciation of what this country has to offer.

Finally, if this doesn’t work then I would simply ask you to get the hell out of the country. The ever-growing thinned-skinned minority you have joined is simply ruining life in this once-great nation. Please move to some place like Cuba where you can enjoy the company of communists and get excellent health care. Just hop on a leaky boat and start paddling your way towards utopia. You will not be missed.

Earlier this year, Adams won a court victory against the school, when he sued, asserting that he was not promoted due to his outspoken conservatism.

Here is an interview that he did, commenting on the court victory and the circumstances that caused him to sue in the first place:

that is a great read and a huge step forward in killing PC.

One out of thousands of twisted professors is damn little. But it's a start.

Imagine that, a Christian leading the charge against the left, and calling them "the enemy".

Unfortunately, life has changed.

Parenting has changed in many ways, and so have the resulting youth, not all, but many. Ideals and the sense of truth has changed, morality and common sense are being dumped for something that creates a lesser form of man. But amongst all of this, this man lives, and breathes, and speaks out, loud and clear, and defies the change in one of the most troublesome battlefields there is today, the Schoolhouse, and against the most troublesome of enemies, the liberated youthful mind, and their ever growing egotistical sense of self.

I applaud this Man, this Soldier, I pray for him in his battle, and I thank him for his will and determination, because of him I know there is still hope, still promise, still breath in what is left of right in this world.

I thank God for him, and for others like him, who give a damn enough to mark their positions, and to hold strong, no matter what ill wind may blow in their direction.

So many people, so few Soldiers, so little time.

He is loved by 95 % of the students at UNC-Wilmington but hated by his colleagues. His classes are always filled.

So you are saying he is in better company.

Mike Adams is one of the good guys. He's always a favorite lecturer at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colorado. All my children did the two week summer program there and heard him speak several times. IMHO it is very much worth the time to listen to some of his lectures here.

thank you for that TLee, it seems we're becoming outnumbered.

but then we always have been, as hunters and these days as Constitution loving Americans


as long as there are some that will stand for what we believe in, it remains a fight worth fighting.

those that fought on the battlefield

those that fight liberalism/socialism whether in the classroom or on public forums or at family get togethers like most of us had yesterday

I continue in my limited way as do my children and son, daughter in law. We do what we can.

Gotta start somewhere. The big problem with being a conservative is that we were taught to respect each other and each other's ideas. As such, very few of us speak up when some liberal weenie gets offended or feels that I should give all my money to the government to piss away or whatever. I take great pleasure in offending everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, or color. No one can accuse me of being prejudiced or showing favoritism.
