I don‘t know if anyone else has been following this. I have for the past week and have found it fascinating, in the kind of way that motorists find car wrecks they drive by fascinating. I just haven‘t been able to stop reading it. Especially in light of what has been happening here in Toronot of late.
Basically a Professor at a Southern California University was giving a lecture/speech whatever on freedom speech and racism and came back to find her car covered in racist comments.
She fired a police report, screaming hate crimes etc. (The professor in question from all accounts is shall we politely say slight left of the average members of this board in her political slant).
There were of course a couple of days of student demos in support of this poor professor and against the racists that perpetuated the crime. These included shutting down 5 seperate campus
sites for a day.
The kicker is that a couple of witnesses have come forward who saw who spray painted the car. Surprise it was the prof herself. Local police want her charged with filing a false police report and are considering other charges (is it a hate crime when you do it to yourself?).
The prof, who is on paid leave now denies the allegations.
Anyway here‘s the links to the whole sordid story:
