Liberal Tolerance Update

[Zam-Zam]

If you're not for diversity of thought, you're not really for diversity:


A faculty member at California State University, Fullerton has been suspended after striking a College Republicans member during a campus protest earlier this month.

The altercation occurred Feb. 8 as pro-Palestine students and counter-protesters marched peacefully through campus. Anthropology part-time lecturer Eric Canin reportedly approached the group of counter-protesters — many of them being CSUF College Republicans members — and tried to rip a sign out of a student’s hand. Mr. Canin was accused of then striking another student who tried to step between them. The group’s president, Chris Boyle, said he witnessed the hit and proceeded to restrain Mr. Canin until police arrived.

The university said in a statement that its internal investigation concluded that a faculty member did indeed strike a student and violate his free speech rights.

“The University has completed its internal investigation regarding a February 8 rally held on campus during which a lecturer was alleged to be in an altercation with a student protester from the College Republicans,” CSUF Chief Communications Officer Jeffrey D. Cook told Campus Reform.

“The investigation substantiated the charges that a physical altercation occurred, that a campus employee struck a student, and that as a consequence the speech of the student group was stopped,” he said. “The prospect of an incident like this on our campus is profoundly troubling.”

Suspended.......not fired.

Pathetic really. Hopefully the police will allow the battery charges. He deserves them

 

[marvin martian]

I've said it before many times, the left goes violent early and often. The question is what will happen when the right stops politely taking it?

Apparently, assaulting a student isn't that big of a deal.......

Well then shit is going to get really bloody.

 

[as seen on tv]

a review on google found that:

eric canin has deleted his linked in and facebook accounts. if he had a Wikipedia entry its not listed. the university has obliterated all reference to him.

California public records show that he was employed at the university from 2009-2013. his total compensation in 2013 was aroun $63k - he's a lecturer, not a tenure professor. no information about employment 2014+

he teaches/taught cultural anthropology (one off my dual majors). but apparently has never written any books or peer reviewed articles.

here's his picture - a bit long in the tooth to be just a lecturer without tenure track. no wonder he's full of rage.

 

[marvin martian]

Well then shit is going to get really bloody.

Yeah, I think it could get ugly.

 

[Sickofleft]

Yeah, I think it could get ugly.

Yep. We are only a month into Trumps Presidency...........it's going to get much worse.

It's good he was suspended. If he becomes a repeat offender, it would be good if he were fired. A professor, especially, should be modeling good behavior.

Let's get this straight.

Liberals were tolerant.
Were.
Liberals are dead.

Lefty is NOT tolerant.
Never.
Not for a minute.

 

[worldlymrb]

It's good he was suspended. If he becomes a repeat offender, it would be good if he were fired. A professor, especially, should be modeling good behavior.

Everywhere I ever worked if you assaulted someone you were fired. But I guess if you are a intolerant leftist educator you get a slap on the wrist.

 

[Dawg]

what's he need do, kill a student before getting fired?

 

[Arkady]

what's he need do, kill a student before getting fired?

No. There are a lot of things that I think would be sufficient to get him fired, short of that. For example, if he already had disciplinary problems, this should be the last straw and result in him being fired. Or, if this is his first offense, the next one should get him fired. Or if he didn't show remorse and didn't apologize for his act. Or if he tried to cover it up. Or if the assault was bad enough to cause injury. Or if his behavior was unprovoked. It's possible this falls into one of those categories, and if so he should be fired. A suspension is a good first step, though. I haven't seen the incident or heard all the testimony about it, so I'm not clear on the context, so I wouldn't start with the assumption that any physical altercation is a firing offense. I can at least conceive of extenuating circumstances that would keep it from being a firing offense (e.g., if both sides were engaged in shoving and "fighting words.")

 

[Zam-Zam]

what's he need do, kill a student before getting fired?

What would likely get him fired is if he said he agreed with the student.

 

[SouthernBoyI]

I've decided to start giving libs a lil taste of the tazer in crowded elevators....

They don't know what happened and are quite amuzing in their frothing and gyrations...

I don't have a problem with suspending the guy until they finish investigating, as long as it's clear that the suspension is not the punishment; the suspension is just a holding action while they determine if, and what kind of punishment is warranted. If it turns out that he approached them and instigated an incident that led to him throwing punches, which is what is being reported, then he needs to get fired, charged with assault, and sued in civil court, as well.

Liberal tolerance at the University level:

Let's keep shining a light on them......

I'd agree with that, overall. I'm just being a bit cagey about it because I can imagine this having been a situation where there was some fault on either side. For example, A says something nasty, B says something nastier, A makes a threat, B tries to grab the sign, A shoves, B punches. If it's the kind of thing where I could picture a fairly socially normal and law-abiding person getting caught up in the cycle of escalation, in a moment of personal weakness, I'd be more likely to show mercy (especially if the person was remorseful and genuinely apologetic), than if one side behaved fine and the other one went off the deep end. Maybe this really was a unilateral thing, in which case I'm cool with him being fired even on a first offense. I just haven't, personally, witnessed something come to blows where there wasn't escalation on both sides ahead of that.

I have, but I move in different circles than you. We'll see what comes of the investigation.
