All These Things Thou Shalt Not Judge
At Adelphi University, a curious inclusion:
A private university in New York told students, faculty, and staff to not discriminate against someone based on a history of sexual offences. A poster at the university, obtained by The College Fix, has a list of categories and a statement that “I will not discriminate.” The poster has the university’s name on it. People should “not discriminate” against someone based on sex, race, disability, or religion, according to the poster, nor someone’s “sexual offender status.”
Presumably, students and staff should not regard someone’s status as a registered sex offender as having any conceivable utility or relevance and should never allow this knowledge to influence any decisions they might make about anything.
An adjacent poster denounces “dating violence,” “lack of consent” and “incapacitated sexual contact.”
Also, open thread.
Talk about mixed messages.
The poster actually denounces “incapactitated” sexual contact, which somehow sounds more promising.
Talk about mixed messages.
Its inclusion does raise… questions.

I see what you did there.

One of the reasons for the Left’s “Be Nice To Criminals” stance, beyond its desire to tear apart society, is that so many leftists are criminals.
Talk about mixed messages.
You don’t even have to go to the other poster, right above the “sexual offender status” they have “stalking victim status”, and above that, “status as a victim of relationship violence” both of the latter being frequently the result of the former.
I see they are also down with “citizenship” and “immigration status”, which seems a tad redundant (“Adelphi, Where Excellence Is Just Another Word”).
I wonder if the students gather outside making those asinine heart signs with their hands and holding banners that say “Illegal Alien Sex Offenders Welcome Here”.
Also, open thread.
Related to mixed messages, the memes, sometimes they write themselves.

Landlord, Darleen’s money’s no good tonight. On me.
Imagining the meeting where they agreed the wording.
Bob: “Oh, and … sexual offender status”.
Room goes quiet. Everyone stares at Bob.
Dave, quietly: “Great idea”.
Everyone stares at Dave
Heh.
It might be more like:

Jane (in a gruff voice): “Oh, and … sexual offender status”.
Room goes quiet. Everyone stares at Jane.
It’s as if someone wrote a manual for destroying wisdom and people keep adopting it as policy…chapter by chapter.
Heh
Also Heh.
It will no longer be possible? Someone never learned the difference between “Can I go to the bathroom” and “May I go to the bathroom”. Maybe Canadian teachers are just too “nice” to point such things out.
Regarding “citizenship” and “immigration status”, these are two very different things.
A person may be a foreign national, for example, but may also be a legal resident alien or an illegal alien. And you can bet the school doesn’t want us to object to illegal immigration.
From my Inbox this morning:
…these are two very different things.
They could have just said “immigration status” as everyone not in that category is a citizen.

On that note, JP offers us a lesson on how to think like a leftist.
Is it a student or a faculty member they’re protecting?
“It will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada.”*
* without an exemption granted by the appropriate authority. Please write your request for an exemption on the back of a $100 CDN note and place it in an unmarked, unaddressed envelope in the nearest Post Canada Poste box.
It’s like a Mondrian painting, only more shit:

How ’bout stealing them?
“It will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada.”
The Canuckleheads sure turned into Canuckleunderheads in record time under Twinkle Toes Trudeau, didn’t they.
Just imagine a hand-sewn Gucci loafer smashing a human face, forever…
“Just imagine a hand-sewn Gucci loafer”
Can I get that with a “pride” strap?
Heh … Also Heh.
Another Heh.

How quickly we forget the Christian bakeries of the world, and the lawsuits against the Catholic church filed days after “sexual orientation” was added to the protected grounds legislation. How quickly we forget zomblog. How quickly we forget that it was like this long before the sexual dysmorphics were declared the new pets of the Bezmenovites.
With all respect to our gracious host, there were never any “nice, boring middle-class and professional gays who just wanted to be treated as individuals”. Every single push for gay civil rights has been followed immediately by lawfare using the new laws to crush anyone who dissents from the new orthodoxy.
I’ll see if I can find the link, but during the Prop 8 debates in California one of the gay activists was caught on tape at a meeting outright admitting that nobody in the community cared about getting married, the activism was purely about creating a legal hammer that could be wielded against the church.
How quickly we forget zomblog.
I miss Zombie. Hasn’t posted in 2 years.
Sexual offender status: I suppose you must go on a date with them if asked. Celebrate their uniqueness. Honor them. Like a high school girl being forced to share a bed with a trans on a school field trip. You will submit.
Of course, to be fair, the sexual offender crime include public urination when drunk or a 16 yr old with a 15 yr old girlfriend, so not all sexual offenders are actual criminals. But most are.
How it is done.
How quickly we forget zomblog
What happened to Zombie? I assumed he or she had just run out of steam. Which is a shame.

That’s what I assumed too. She was great. But fortunately she has not taken down her blog: All her posts are still there.
Police blogger Inspector Gadget, however, recently deleted his Twitter account. I started reading him and PC David Copperfield back in the early 2000’s. Very informative.

Outrage blogging is unhealthy over the long term. It starts out as a necessary pressure release valve, and eventually becomes a negative feedback loop.
I like to think zombie eventually moved out of San Francisco to a nice quiet midwestern town full of like-minded adults.

That’s the thin edge of the wedge.
Chicken-and-egg debate gets surprising new makeover.
People should “not discriminate” against someone based on sex, race, disability, or religion, according to the poster, nor someone’s “sexual offender status.”
Trump should book it as a speaking venue.
For the “lulz”.
Completely unrelated to anything herein so far, but congrats to the Queen on her 70th year in the saddle. Suck it up Victoria.
However, some day unless her successor changes his name to Eadwig II, isn’t going to cost a mint to replace all the mail boxes, uniform dodads, and wherever or on whatever the EIIR cypher appears? I get that they all come up with their own cyphers, but is there any reason Eadwig II couldn’t just say it is close enough to his that because times are tough all over, close enough for government work?

Documenting the unwell can take a toll. Though I tended to think of Zombie as a kind of anthropologist with a camera, wandering through various gatherings of the foolish and demented. From Occupy’s biohazard encampments to San Francisco’s militant, rather needy exhibitionists.
Deep Thinker says that the very concept of truth is “deeply transphobic“.

I hope my occasional silly/funny comments help; it’s part of why I post them. Should I do more or fewer?
What’s the point of the Scarlet S if you don’t want it to come with consequences?

It is hard to “inflate” the value of Zombie’s work, but that sort of reporting may not be “up your alley“. 😉
The above links are very NSFW.

You assume, of course, that her successor won’t want to revert to the Tudor Crown on his cypher.
Speaking of Zombie and San Francisco…
No police uniforms allowed at pride parade.
I’m not sure how buck naked meets a “dress code”, bu it is San Francisco, after all.

From Zombie’s 2015 San Francisco piece:
In recent years, we seem to have lost, to a significant extent, the willingness to see the obvious, or at least to speak it. For instance, that if you feel a compulsion to involve small children in your tiresome sexual psychodramas, then there’s something seriously fucking wrong with you.
Pardon my French.
a dangerous lunatic in need of psychiatric help or involuntary commitment to a jail or mental hospital
Betcha that applies to a double-digit percentage of the San Francisco population.

One of the reasons I have lost contact with so many liberals is precisely this persistent denial of reality.
that the very concept of truth is “deeply transphobic”.
Well that’s quite obviously bullshit.
Seriously people, I waited a half-dozen comments. I know that was easy but please try and think of my OCD, m’k?
if you feel a compulsion to involve small children in your tiresome sexual psychodramas, then there’s something seriously fucking wrong with you.
Pardon my French.
No offense but speaking of losing the ability to see the obvious, we’re at the point now where doctors are chemically destroying the sexual development, and even cutting out the sex organs of children. Doctors. Educated people. With skills. Well, “educated”. There is something seriously fucking wrong with our society in general. Though when you consider that these people are now parents, grandparents even…well…Katie bar the door.
Looking back now on the Castro protests, we see that they overplayed their hand and the city banned nudity.
The Woke and Left want to make it a crime to wink at a girl on campus or tell a dirty joke, but not a crime to have naked marches and protests. Got it. Totally consistent and logical.
Back when I was just a kid in school, someone wrote a book about the Great Cultural Revolution titled China: Roots of Madness. Will some future historian of recycle that title when analyzing the disintegration of American society?
In recent years, we seem to have lost, to a significant extent, the willingness to see the obvious, or at least to speak it.
That.
It seems to flow from the acceptance of everyone is a victim. Too many people are too willing to excuse bad behaviour. They are quite prepared to contort themselves into all sorts of illogical, immoral tolerance based on perceived inequities or made-up, imagined victim profiles. Sadly it doesn’t just happen for the boldly obvious examples documented here. Any neighbourhood bulletin board or facebook group is ready to turn the mundane into a twisted tit-for-tat battle for righteousness.
