You do NOT have the right to be unoffended.

Right on, Prof. Mike Adams! He melted a few special snowflakes with his introductory lecture at UNC-Wilmington.


Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your criminology professor here at UNC-Wilmington. Before we get started with the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman.

Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so. In part, I blame your high school teachers for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma. Most of you went to the public high schools, which are a disaster. Don’t tell me that offended you. I went to a public high school.

Of course, your high school might not be the problem. It is entirely possible that the main reason why so many of you are confused about free speech is that piece of paper hanging on the wall right over there. Please turn your attention to that ridiculous document that is framed and hanging by the door. In fact, take a few minutes to read it before you leave class today. It is our campus speech code. It specifically says that there is a requirement that everyone must only engage in discourse that is “respectful.” That assertion is as ludicrous as it is illegal. I plan to have that thing ripped down from every classroom on campus before I retire.

One of my grandfathers served in World War I. My step-grandfather served in World War II. My sixth great grandfather enlisted in the American Revolution when he was only thirteen. These great men did not fight so we could simply relinquish our rights to the enemy within our borders. That enemy is the Marxists who run our public universities. If you are a Marxist and I just offended you, well, that’s tough. I guess they don’t make communists like they used to....

I think I just found Mr. Trump's running mate. If not his running mate then his Attorney General.

Thanks so much for posting this. Political correctness is nothing but a forerunner of every kind of ism known.

Democracy is not only a freedom "to", it is a freedom "From."

The demonstrations at Mo. U. will end in destruction, mark my word. There is never an end to this oppressed mentality that is gaining such a stronghold in the most freedom loving nation in the world.

Someone needs to take a good look and see where all the accusations of unfairness are coming from. It is all coming from those who would destroy the successful norm of America and seeking to turn it into a rudderless sinking ship.

Sounds like this Missouri thing is starting to get out of hand. Student media, as well as pro media (I think), were told by students "this is a media free zone". When the media replied they had every right to be there they were forcibly removed. They were forcibly removed at the behest of a Communications Professor who was quoted as verbally requesting "Can I have some muscle over here". NICE HUH. Seems like POS exist all over Missouri..

I have a feeling it will spread to other colleges. Just a matter of time.

Anyone has the right to be offended, but it doesn't mean everyone else has to kiss their ass!
