It’s good news to hear this from one of UTSA’s SWTA (Student Worker Teacher Alliance):
Student Worker Teacher Alliance (SWTA, the largest unregistered student organization at UTSA responsible for organizing the protest against Chris Simcox) isn’t going to be as active this semester due to various conflicting obligations.
You heard the man. They’re not as active. Let me remind you what their darling little protest consisted of:
And in case that’s not enough, the girl in red also fought her way to the front of the stage and then decided to shove one of our UTSA Police Officers for doing his job.
Here’s the video:
Of course, the Left likes to celebrate its lack of tolerance, logic, and intelligence. Let’s go back to Red Smith’s libelous letter to the editor in today’s issue of the Paisano.
While this is not the place for a long list of examples, here are a few: they openly advocate the harassment of homosexuals; they held a “Capture an Illegal Immigrant” event on campus (UNT chapter), an unnecessarily offensive mockery of a serious situation that costs many people their lives; and they openly support the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, whose members joke about slaughtering all the illegal immigrants they see.
Let’s start at the top of the banter from Mr. Smith with the alleged open advocacy of harassment of homosexuals.
That’s the most absurd, ridiculous, and outrageous false statement I’ve heard since I sat in my women in politics class today and had a student say that President Bush would try to postpone the elections in 2008 to try to stay in office. (I can’t make this stuff up.)
Mr. Smith doesn’t fact check and writes blatant lies to try to push his radical Leftist agenda.
Next: “Capture an Illegal Immigrant”. No matter what event YCT ever does, no matter the topic, no matter the issue, no matter the date, time, year, or place. The event sparked debate and discussion on an issue that otherwise would go under the radar to college students. Political satire, commentary, cartoons, and other forms of expression are designed in these cases to motivate the students of universities to pay attention to an issue. The event did nothing to degrade illegal immigrants or create a mockery of a serious issue facing every citizen of the United States and our neighboring countries.
That being said, most universities are apathetic to their own Student Government Associations, let alone United States domestic defense. A pitiful 16% of students voted to increase their own student fees.
A demonstration such as the one that UNT did made students more excited about politics.
And finally, just like last year, the Left kept confusing the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps for the Minutemen Project and began to take quotes off of an unmoderated message board that can easily be spammed by web trolls and moonbats.
In closing, from YCT Alum Brendan Steinhauser:
This is one of the more lengthy rants about nothing in particular that I’ve read. Kind of reminds me of the president of Iran’s speech at Columbia.
Based on this Marxist-Leninist critique of conservatism and YCT, it is clear that Red Smith has paid attention in his classes at UTSA. The left-wing academy continues to produce students that write such drivel, while students’ lack of education in civics suffers. (See the recent study by ISI about civic literacy.)
As an alumnus of YCT, I’d be willing to put the ideas of conservatism up to historical scrutiny, to see the value in this world view to our country. Would Red Smith be willing to say the same thing about socialism, the ideology responsible for millions of deaths by war and execution around the world?
