Protesters at Washington College recently shouted down renowned conservative Princeton University Professor Robert George as he gave a guest speech titled “The Truth-Seeking Mission of the University.”

“Whistles blew loudly, echoing around the room. The protesters marched in, campus security allowing them passage. Shouting from the protesters started right away, breaking up the professor’s speech,” reported the Star Democrat on Sept. 10. “The protesters came into Hynson Lounge, waving flags and signs symbolizing LGBT pride, about halfway through George’s lecture. They wouldn’t stand down until it was canceled.” …

“We have the power here to make our voices heard,” a protester reportedly called out to the crowd. “Are you going to tell me that WAC (Washington College), can expel every single one of us? Absolutely (expletive) not!”

[All this tells me is that Washington College admits idiots who can’t make an argument for themselves. Future employers should bear this in mind when considering application with degrees from Washington College. Robert George is one of the most thoughtful and scholastic figures in American academics today. The pseudointellectual panic at his very presence would be utterly hilarious if it wasn’t for WAC’s pandering to the pampered-baby crowd. — Ed]
