Eric Owens of The Daily Caller provides an unbelievable update.
Feminist prof now claims ‘MORAL RIGHT’ to attack 16-year-old abortion foe, destroy sign
The police department at the University of California, Santa Barbara has released its official crime report concerning the professor who stole a graphic anti-abortion sign from two abortion protesters, then seemingly assaulted one of the protesters (a 16-year-old girl) and destroyed the sign.
The professor is Mireille Miller-Young. She is several months pregnant.
A large swath at the beginning of the report is redacted for reasons that are unclear. A few administrative bits are redacted at other points. However, most of the text remains uncensored.
“In essence, Miller-Young told me that she felt ‘triggered’” “in a negative way” by graphic images on the anti-abortion poster and on anti-abortion literature demonstrators handing out on Mar. 4, explains the report, obtained by the Santa Barbara Independent.
The feminist studies professor who specializes in queer theory and pornography said she felt the protesters had no right to be on the UC Santa Barbara campus “because the poster was upsetting to her and other students.”
The demonstrators, Thrin Short, 16, and her 21-year-old sister, Joan, were standing in a designated “free speech zone” on the campus. They are members of a Riverside, Calif.-based pro-life group called Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.
“Miller-Young said that she and others began demanding that the images be taken down,” the police report relates. “Miller-Young said that the demonstrators refused. At which point, Miller-Young said that she ‘just grabbed it [the sign] from this girl’s hands.”
“Asked if there had been a struggle, Miller-Young stated, ‘I’m stronger so I was able to take the poster.’”

This says all we need to know about the “professor”:
“The feminist studies professor who specializes in queer theory and pornography”
She claims she had the right to tear down someone expressing an opinion she doesn’t like because she finds the different view upsetting.
Let me guess that she wouldn’t feel the same way about a Jewish student upset by Israel Apartheid Week.
I claim that the left’s principles are entirely situational; there’s no standard they invoke against others that they apply to themselves. I await evidence to the contrary.
“I can tear it down because I find the ideas upsetting.” Doesn’t that sort of sum up the left’s view on free speech?
