Another Example Of Universities Being PC



Ohio State Official DEFENDS Terrorist… FB Post Will Make You Physically Ill


 Print

Ohio State University Assistant Director of Residence Life Stephanie Clemons Thompson allegedly posted a message to Facebook in which she urged followers not to share the post, but to have compassion for the radical Islamic terrorist, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who went on a car and knife rampage on campus Monday.
A screenshot has made the rounds on the internet that appears to be from Clemons Thompson but, as The Daily Caller noted, they had not been able to independently verify the post.
If Clemons Thompson did in fact write the post, she was apparently aware that it would be inflammatory given her strong request for people not to share her absurd and offensive words.

The Daily Caller was able to obtain a screenshot of the alleged post as well.

The post urged people to “think of the pain he must have been in,” and wrote #BlackLivesMatter along with #SayHisName, a tag often used by Black Lives Matter members/supporters in reference to individuals they believe were killed unjustly by police officers, according to PJ Media.


According to Clemons Thompson, compassion was in order for the Somali refugee and radical Islamic terrorist who used a car and a knife to try and inflict as much harm on as many people as he could and was able to injure 11 people in the process.
The terrorist reportedly complained about the campus not having enough prayer rooms and that he didn’t feel comfortable enough to pray on campus openly, so he had to do so in a corner.
By Clemons Thompson’s logic, the Christians persecuted throughout the world — like in the terrorist’s homeland of Somalia — should be able to get away with all kinds of things for the real pain and suffering they have endured …
For this Ohio State official to allegedly compare the rampage undertaken by a radical Islamic terrorist to the unsupported allegations by Black Lives Matter of police brutality is bizarre and sickening on many levels.

As PJ Media noted, if it weren’t for Ohio State officer Alan Horujko and his quick action to take down the terrorist, the situation could have been much worse. As it is, 10 individuals were sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and another suffered injuries that put them in critical condition.
There really are no words for such a striking level of dangerous idiocy.
Did Artan act illogically — and savagely — in feeling scared to pray publicly for fear of backlash and then striking out in an act that was destined to create more backlash? Absolutely. Should we have some compassion for a man whose brain was so twisted that that seemed like a good idea to him? Probably.
But should we adopt the “SayHisName” hashtag that implies that Artan was unjustifiably gunned down by law enforcement? Absolutely not. That’s ridiculous, at the very least.
And Thompson — if this indeed her post — apparently knew it, since she clearly didn’t want her words shared with anyone who might have the common sense — and the common decency — to disagree with her.
Or maybe she was just afraid of being fired, which, again if this was her post, she probably should be.

Jim Tressell Resigns

For those of you who are not football fans or who are not aware of the extreme University of Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, the resignation of the Ohio State coach is a big deal. No one wishes bad luck to the other team (well maybe just a bit!!) but to lose a very strong competitor as Jim Tressel is a sad day. However, it appears as if there were some program violations and for that he has to pay the price.

Ohio State will always be a rival for the Wolverines but one can only wonder how it will effect the team this coming season.  For Michigan fans, I am sure the answer will be "a lot." 

Here is the AP posting:

Jim Tressel resigns as Ohio State's football coach

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jim Tressel, who guided Ohio State to its first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations and mounting revelations that sullied the image of one of the country's top football programs.
"After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach," Tressel said in a statement released by the university. "The appreciation that (wife) Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable."
Luke Fickell will be the coach for the 2011 season. He already had been selected to be the interim head coach while Tressel served a five-game suspension.
Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch said he was unaware of any buyout or severance package. He added that Tressel had returned from vacation Sunday night and met with athletic director Gene Smith, who then met with staff. Tressel typed his resignation and submitted it to Smith, he said.
Tressel's downfall came with public and media pressure mounting on Ohio State, its board of trustees, President E. Gordon Gee and Smith.
"We look forward to refocusing the football program on doing what we do best — representing this extraordinary university and its values on the field, in the classroom, and in life," Smith said in a statement. "We look forward to supporting Luke Fickell in his role as our football coach. We have full confidence in his ability to lead our football program."
Tressel and Ohio State were to go before the NCAA's infractions committee Aug. 12 to answer questions about the player violations and why Tressel did not report them. For more than nine months, he denied knowledge of improper benefits to players until confronted by investigators with emails that showed he had known since April 2010.
