In 2015, a professor at Reed College banned second semester Jeremiah True from the discussion portion of his class, claiming in an email to the student that this was necessary because of the things the student had said "made others uncomfortable" and upset survivors of sexual assault. The student claimed he was removed for his dissenting views with regard to the statistic that says one in five women are raped and that rape culture exists. A Reed spokesman claimed that the removal was due to disruptive behavior rather than dissenting views. The student also stated he believed rape culture was not a useful concept because according to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, a well known authority on rape, rape only occurs when a sick individual makes a conscious choice to commit a violent crime, and American culture abhors rape. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a free speech organization, has been involved.

Feel free to use the below copypasta:

DISSENT IS NOT PERMITTED.

CLICK-CLACK, TIP-TAP, go the boots at Reed,

As the fascists goose-step along,

Just as brainwashed and happy as can be.

BEHOLD THE WONDROUS IDEOLOGICAL LOCKSTEP THAT LIES BEFORE YOU!

THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT - YOUR IMAGINATION SHALL BE LIMITED!

NOBODY has a single original thought,

NOBODY has a single differing view,

NOBODY has a single critical opinion;

NOBODY will reveal any differing political views held,

NOBODY whispers a politically incorrect word,

EVERYONE is scared to speak freely,

EVERYONG who does so suffers unwarranted social ostricisation and is squashed with the heel of the iron boot;

NOBODY must (or even cares to) grapple with the fact that some of their ideas are factually incorrect, imoral, unconstitutional, not logical, delusional, impractical, or just damm loony, but, happily,

EVERYONE can march along knowing all their ideas are the best ideas ever in the whole goddamn world, better than the ideas of howevermany trillions of other smarter people, since everyone around them believes all the same crap. Certainly, it's great that it's not permissible to waste any time on being open to anything else, since this means:

NOBODY is ever offended,

NOBODY's poor little feelings are ever hurt,

NOBODY is ever "triggered" (seriously? back in my day, when I was a strapping young man in the army, men who acted like this were called what they were, pussies or whiners, and they got ostracised until they grew the hell up or got fixed by the quack doc back at the general hq.

Nobody will ever learn anything unique or insightful at REED, nothing will be said or heard or even whispered that could cause an evolution of thinking process that might just bring about a good change in the world, for once.

Those bastards in socially and institutionally powerful majorities who most certainly have some unproductive ideologies - they think they are 100% correct about everything, they don't know how to think in a really critical, useful way, or question or analyze anything. Those who are in the minorities with good ideas are denied the support theyd need to make a real difference out there, and those who have truly twisted, insidious ideologies are rarely revealed to the world and dealt with as is most definitely necessary. I am not sure if think Mr. True is one of those. He seems much more like one of the oppressed minority with some good ideas who isn't being heard.

If the REED UNIVERSITY community and school board continues to act in this shameful, dishonorable way, then demonstrably harmful ideologies will be allowed to fester indefinitely, untreated, in many individuals in the REED community. If for no other reason than this, you must promote free speech instead of squashing it with a steely boot of censorship.

The end result is this:

NOBODY EVER LEARNS ANYTHING UNIQUE OR INSIGHTFUL

NOBODY HAS THEIR VIEWS CHALLANGED,

NOBODY'S IDEOLOGY EVOLVES IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION,

EVERYONE'S IDEOLOGY IS CEMENTED IN A FASCIST, FUCKED UP WAY, AND ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO FREELY SAY OR PUBLISH WHAT THEY HAVE THE NATURAL RIGHT TO IS VICIOUSLY SHAMED, SHUNNED, AND ATTACKED.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THAT????

And With this situation, who will be the builders, the leaders, the movers and shakers, the changers of this young, naive, supposedly edjucated generation?

AT THIS RATE, THEY CERTAINLY WON'T COME FROM REED.

NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT FOR ALL FREE SPEECH!

NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT AGAINST ALL CENSORSHIP!

NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT AGAINST ALL FASCISTS!

FAVOR STICKING TO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT ABOVE THE SOCIAL NORMS, THE RULES, FLAGRANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND WRONG STATUTES AND IMMORAL LAWS. ONCE IT WAS LEGAL TO OWN SLAVES. ONCE IT WAS ILLEGAL TO CRITICIZE THE KING. RIGHT NOW IN IRAQ IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE A CHRISTIAN, AND IF YOU RESIST YOU ARE BEHEADED. WE ARE GOING TO DESTROY ISIS. BUT JUST AS WE DESTROY ISIS WITH VIOLENT MEANS WE MUST TEAR DOWN THE BASICALLY FASCIST INSTITUTIONS THAT GOVERN OUR LIVES AT HOME, USING THE LAW, USING NON VIOLENT ACTIVISM, AND USING FREE SPEECH TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. ONCE IT WAS ILLEGAL TO BE A JEW. MANY OF MY FRIENDS PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FIGHTING TO PUT AN END TO THAT HORROR. ANNE FRANK WAS BREAKING THE LAW, SHOULD SHE HAVE TURNED HERSELF IN? LAW IS NOT A MORAL ROCK THAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BLINDLY, EVER! I WAS TOUGHT IN THE MILITARY TO NOT QUESTION. AND THAT IS DEAD WRONG.

CENSORSHIP AND FASCISM WILL ALWAYS CRUMBLE TO DUST, IN THE END.

FREE SPEECH SHALL OVERCOME.

THE LULZ SHALL PREVAIL.

WE DO NOT FORGIVE.

WE DO NOT FORGET.

AND WE DO IT FOR THE LULZ.
