Students declare Justice Thomas was unacceptable
because someone on Facebook said he was a bad person.
|
Has the intelligence quotient among the student body of our universities dropped so low as to rely on Facebook for information that has a huge impact on their personal lives?
The information in Facebook is provided by individuals that have an agenda and ideology that reflects their need for the ultimate power for control.
The saving grave here is that there are some ''students'' that have the ability to express themselves in a manner that reflect individual thought. The question that remains is will these students that had a independent view on Justice Thomas still be a student at this college after this interview?
And from some of the interviewees in this video, it's clear that many of the college students of today are truly incapable of taking care of themselves in an environment that has dedicated it's self to the destruction of an entire class of people. Worse, it has been easy to do just that.
Remember the frog swimming around in the pot of water having a grand time, but then when the heat was applied, the fun ended as there was no way out to save the day? If you are a frog or a student relying on others with an agenda to save you, the result will be the same.
Students Want to Remove the Name of Clarence Thomas From Building, but Can’t Say Why

Ignorance is the most dangerous situation to be in when
your personal freedom to chose is at stake.

“We should probably just take his name off of the building,” a young woman tells Cabot Phillips, Campus Reform’s media director, in a video posted Monday by the conservative student organization.
“It’s not that big of a deal,” she says.

The subject of the video is the Clarence Thomas Center for Historic Preservation on the campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Sage Lucero, an alumna of the school who created a petition on Change.org titled “Take A Sexual Predator’s Name Off of SCAD’s Building,” canceled the petition in late October, as The Daily Signal previously reported.

During Thomas’ 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Anita Hill, whom Thomas supervised at the Education Department and at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, made international news with accusations that he had made unwelcome sexual advances toward her.
The three-story brick building at the Savannah College of Art and Design, erected in 1908, formerly served as an orphanage and convent for the Missionary Sisters of the Franciscan order.
In the video, when Phillips asks students what they would point to that would justify their signing the petition to remove Thomas’ name, at least eight don’t have an answer.
“Um, um, hmm, do you mind if I get back to you?” a student wearing a pink bandana says.
“I don’t know, I haven’t done much research on this,” a young woman tells Phillips. “I just saw a Facebook petition about it, and that’s kind of the extent of it.”
Thomas grew up poor near Savannah. “He is a historical figure,” says a student in the video wearing a Saints hat. “So, uh … So is Hitler.” When Phillips asks whether Thomas had done something to justify removing his name, the student replies: “Not in particular.”
The video, however, does show a few students who support keeping the building named after Thomas.
“No, I really wouldn’t sign that petition,” one male student says. “And I wouldn’t sign that petition simply because I feel that even though the student body might have its certain views and values, just because you don’t agree with somebody doesn’t mean you shouldn’t honor them.”
Dear Readers:
With the recent conservative victories related to tax cuts, the Supreme Court, and other major issues, it is easy to become complacent. However, the liberal Left is not backing down. They are rallying supporters to advance their agenda, moving this nation further from the vision of our founding fathers. If we are to continue to bring this nation back to our founding principles of limited government and fiscal conservatism, we need to come together as a group of likeminded conservatives. This is the mission of The Heritage Foundation. We want to continue to develop and present conservative solutions to the nation’s toughest problems. And we cannot do this alone. We are looking for a select few conservatives to become a Heritage Foundation member. With your membership, you’ll qualify for all associated benefits and you’ll help keep our nation great for future generations.
