Latest incident of blatant Fascism indicates it is time to treat the woke like the monsters they are
Cypress College faculty attacks the school for "not being anti-racist" after it fires adjunct professor for virtual classroom outburst against "unwoke" student

A Fascist faculty union in California has accused Cypress College of a “failure to be anti-racist.”
Apparently that is now a new crime invented by the woke Left to indict their opponents who refuse to accept cancel culture, Critical Race Theory and “cop hate” as a mainstream sociopolitical view — the only acceptable “truth” that can be discussed. An adjunct professor — who is vehemently anti-police — berated a 19-year-old white male student who refused to adhere to the Fascist line of thought.
What kind of horrendous presentation did the student, Braden Ellis, make that so threatened the snowflake Fascist educator? He defended the TV shows "Cops" and "Paw Patrol," as well as food products like Aunt Jemima syrup and Uncle Ben’s rice. Ellis argued that removing the police-inspired cartoon dog from Nickelodeon’s "Paw Patrol," for one, would mean failing to show children a possible career path in a show dedicated to doing just that.
The professor took issue with his characterization of police as good guys and claimed she would be in "more danger" if she called 9-1-1 during an armed home invasion and cops responded.
"A lot of police officers have committed an atrocious crime and have gotten away with it and have never been convicted," she lied.
Even after Ellis agreed with her that bad actors of all stripes should face justice, the professor continued to insult and demean police in front of the students. Her remarks followed a presentation in which Ellis also praised the First Amendment and argued against "canceling" proponents of cancel culture itself, suggesting that would only make the problem worse.
"Canceling and destroying someone for a simple mistake is a terrible precedent for our country, and we need to begin civil discussion again," he said during his presentation. Later, after the professor had been placed on a leave of absence and the school said she was not returning next semester, Ellis told Fox News he was praying for her career and future.
Following the leak of the video, the professor was forced to take the leave of absence on Monday. She was then told her services were not needed for the next semester on Wednesday. That is when the faculty union got involved by claiming her non-renewal created a “chilling effect on workplace safety.”
In order words, it’s “chilling” that professors are not allowed to freely demand that students view police as the second-biggest threat to U.S. society. That is, after white supremacy, of course. The professor made her absurd claims about police before a virtual class of sophomores. She obviously buys into the false narrative that police officers go out looking for people of color to kill every day.
United Faculty union president Christie Diep and lead negotiator Mohammad Abdel Haq issued a joint statement this week stating the organization stands in solidarity with all faculty members in “protecting their academic freedom,” insinuating that Cypress College’s actions somehow threatened the existence of a safe work environment.

The statement further claimed the leave of absence created hostility and threatened the “physical safety and emotional well-being" of faculty members. An email request from Americ’s Conservative Voice (ACV) for clarification on that and other allegations went unanswered.
Not a group willing to let an opportunity slip away to allege racism, Diep and Haq also claimed that the college had placed minority faculty members at risk of becoming "targets of white supremacist organizations" after it parted ways with the first-year professor. Again, that remark was not explained as requested.
Obviously, this is not the first incidence of Fascist cancel-culture adherents attempting to bully and silence any opposition to their dangerous and subversive views. There seems to be a new occurrence every day. But Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact the people in charge of this country for now want to fundamentally change it. That change is being widely rejected.
The rising skepticism about the Fascist Left’s plans is crossing party lines.
When the Biden cabal and other Fascists in Washington, D.C. blatantly lied about Georgia’s new election law, even some few Leftist commentators pointing out the misinformation distributed by the White House. Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) went so far as to say the effort backfired on Biden, with Biden getting four Pinicchios — the highest on their Big Lie scale — for his falsehoods told about the new law.
Unfortunately, the far-reaching woke cancel culture movement that is out there is driven by people like Stacey Abrams and the White House. It is obvious they simply did not read the bill. But a willingness to lie has become part of their playbook. The Fascists on the Left, in the Democrat Party, strongly object every time ACV uses that term to identify them, but it is undeniable that they are Fascists.
The playbook is not theirs originally. It was written by Adolph Hitler and the German Nazi Party. History repeats itself right before our eyes daily, lived out on our television screens and in our halls of justice and law.
Most Americans hate wokeness — and especially most minorities don’t share woke priorities. According to pollster David Shor, woke excesses are causing black voters to flee the Democratic Party in droves. Despite endless charges of “racism,” former President Donald Trump took the biggest share of minority voters of any Republican in our lifetimes.
Woke tyrants nonetheless ride high in the U.S. today. A Cato/YouGov poll found 62 percent of Americans self-censor their political expression for fear of reprisal by the Fascist in their midst. Only a tiny minority of consumers care about Mr. Potato Head’s toxic masculinity, about “Aunt Jemima” as a brand or about the #MeToo aggressions of Pepé Le Pew. Yet corporations, universities and governments rush to placate that minuscule slice of the population while trashing large chunks of our culture in the process.

It’s happening not because anybody voted for it, but because a small but determined and vicious minority is bullying people to go along, relying on cowardice and groupthink to achieve ends that could never happen via majority vote: How do you think Dr. Seuss would have done in a referendum? What grade would be awarded Braden Ellis if his presentation was put to a classroom vote?
How does this happen? To some degree, the woke abuse the good nature of Americans. For the most part, Americans want their fellow citizens to be happy. If they hear something makes others unhappy, they generously look to change things, including their expression of personal opinions.
There is also fear. Writing about the woke Fascism that prompted one father to remove his daughter from the very exclusive and very expensive Dalton School in New York City, Bari Weiss notes that even parents who think the political correctness has gone too far are afraid to speak out: They think their kids’ shot at the Ivy League could be at risk. The assault on Cypress College by its own faculty proves it is not just Dalton.
In his book “Skin in the Game,” Nicholas Nassim Taleb writes about the surprising ability of small but intransigent minorities — as few as three percent — to change the direction of entire societies. The one most intolerant wins, and an intolerant minority can control and destroy democracy.
It can eventually destroy our world. Our response should be to become incrreasingly intolerant with the Fascist intolerant minorities. Does this mean we should be less tolerant of our own minoritarian tyrants? In a word, yes.
That does not mean that they should be forced into “reeducation camps” or even driven from their jobs and from polite society, as the woke are all too willing to do to their opponents. But they need to be deprived of the thing that is most important to their self-image: Moral credibility.
The woke think of themselves — and want everyone else to think of them — as deeply moral. They claim, if they have a flaw, it’s that they just care too much. They’re too idealistic, too empathetic, too eager to make the world a better place.
Far from “caring too much” or “being too eager to make the world better,” the woke Fascists are tyrants with a dangerous and subversive agenda. To fight th eir lies, we must deprive them of their moral credibility, exposing them for as the frauds they have become. (Photo: Jule France/Detroit Free Press)
To be blunt and honest, their self-description is bullshit. If you look at what they do rather than what they say about themselves, it quickly becomes obvious that these woke would-be dictators are horrible, awful people. They should be treated as such and reminded of that character whenever they raise their head.
Historically, it is not the good guys who are out burning books, censoring speech and silencing opinions with which they disagree. It is not the caring, empathetic people who try to destroy lives based on something someone said years ago, often while young, often taken out of context. It is not the deeply moral who is willing to condemn someone for what their ancestors did a century and a half ago. It is not the good guys who take undisguised glee at the ruining of lives, families and careers.
You know who does these things? Horrible, awful people. Selfish people. People with serious mental and emotional problems who seek some sort of vindication for their deficient characters by taking power trips while imposing suffering on others.
Treat these tyrants as they are: Deeply immoral, tragically flawed, narrow-minded, shockingly horrible and awful people who should be ignored, who need to work hard on joining the better half of the human race.
Remind them of it, over and over. Because it’s true. They need to be confronted regularly with who they are and forced to become self-aware to the point of abandoning their dangerous, subversive ideology.
