Campus mobs are modern-day book burners – Las Vegas Review-Journal

Janet Steverson, the law school's dean of diversity and inclusion, eventually asked Ms. Sommers to cut her remarks short and take student questions.

"They are trying to make criticism of identity politics, radical Islam and third-wave feminism, among various other subjects, verboten," she wrote of the campus mobs.

One year ago, Charles Murray, author of "The Bell Curve," arrived on campus to deliver a speech.

The crowd shouted him down, and eventually a mob injured a liberal professor escorting him.

Last week, the campus paper published a retrospective and a photograph of Murray.

Former Evergreen State College professor Bret Weinstein understands what's really going on.

Mr. Weinstein was the Bernie Sanders supporter whom students labeled a white supremacist for questioning their demand that white students not come on campus during a "Day of Absence."
