From students and professors actively hostile to the First Amendment
After desperately trying to gin up media coverage of student protests at the University of Missouri, one of the school’s media professors is now furiously trying to “muscle” the press off campus to prevent them from covering student protests that rapidly spiraled out of control Monday.
Mizzou president Timothy Wolfe announced his resignation on Monday after members of the school’s 4-5 football team announced they would boycott team activities unless the school acceded to certain demands surrounding racial equality. Unsurprisingly, Wolfe’s resignation did little to quell the mob.
On Monday afternoon, activists who had demanded Wolfe’s resignation abruptly demanded that media stop covering their activities on the public campus of the taxpayer-funded university. At the center of those demands was Melissa Click, an assistant professor of mass media within Mizzou’s communications department.
In the video below, you can see Click ask for “muscle” to help her bully a Mizzou student into not covering the ongoing mob protests:
As David Thompson calls them — Mao-lings.
********************
“Professor” Click (lord help me, I hope she’s not a relative) is one of those academic frauds specializing in junk studies
Her research interests center on popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture. Her work in this area is guided by audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy. Current research projects involve 50 Shades of Grey readers, the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children’s television programs.

OhioMissouri National Guard.I once (mid-80s to mid-90s) lived in Columbia, both as a midshipman on the MU campus and afterward, and know a few people who live there still.
Apparently it has become much more dangerous in the interim, although in a way you might call exactly the opposite of what these nincompoops are claiming.
I don’t think I’ve ever read such unvarnished horse shit as their list of “demands” and “issues.” Just incoherent nonsense and hissy fits.
I deny these children are the future.
Taken together with what’s been happening at Yale, and you’ve got the basis for a new sitcom: Cultural Revolution American Style
“New love a boy and girl are talking
New words that only they can share in
New words a love so strong it tears their hearts

“New love, a boy and girl they’re talking
New words that only they can share in.”
Et tu, Connie?
I think Kansas needs to build a wall to keep the Missouripocalypse out. Probably Oklahoma too. And Arkansas. And Iowa.
MU is a Land-Grant university, correct? Where was that land “granted” from? Stolen from Indigenous Peoples, that’s where!
Have they started calling for the University to be disbanded and the property returned to its rightful owners?
Keep going, palaeomerus. Apparently we are tied with Tennessee at eight for sharing borders with the most states: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Of course, Illinois, already run by nazis, is of little concern
I hate Illinois nazis.
Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee don’t need a fence; they have a moat.
Nothing here that some well-placed high velocity lead wouldn’t cure.
It’s like cranky always says, “spare the rod, double-tap the child.”
I was hoping someone would run with that…
The poor girl has resigned…probably to run for office.
@Milo has a good post up on Ms. Click over at Breitbart. Seems her ‘resignation’ isn’t really a resignation.
Oh, and for hilarity check out #PrayForMizzou. It’s like when ‘feets ‘prays’ for something; watch out for falling ironies..
I was gonna start a #BoyCottMizzou tag but realized it was sexist. How About #BlackBallMizzou? No wait a minute, that’s racist. #BlacklistMizzou, nope ditto. How about#BlackBoyBallListMizzou?

I had to stop watching the video half-way through for the safety of my monitor. There is just something so infuriating about their arrogant idiocy that it makes me think cracking heads is the best solution.
By the way, if anyone is interested in reading about how all of this is built on a hoax, a lie, an unsubstantiated claim, and a drunk, here you go: http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/outkick-the-coverage/is-the-entire-mizzou-protest-based-on-lies-111115
I know we all suspected it, but the author lays it all out, piece by piece. This wave of proud idiocy and mob rule sweeping the country has to stop.
University of Misery’s records department finally released a copy of the UM police report. The responding officer did apparently see the poopstika.
When I was in college, the biggest news about something like this would be the medium, not the message. DORMITORY BATHROOM VANDALIZED WITH HUMAN FECES. The school paper would have run a picture of at least part of the display.
As for a swastika, back during the 1980s almost no one, even of college age, would have been that easily panicked. Today you could probably convince Mizzou dorm residents that Bloody Mary actually does appear in the mirror if you say her name three times in the dark.
I know from South Park that’s how you summon Biggie Smalls, after which he starts shooting randomly around the room.
[…] that most, if not all by now, of the claims by the Revolutionary students at the University of Missouri have either been debunked or were always simply too absurd on their […]
