Are we still in America?
Sometimes you wonder, “Did I wake up in Red China today? Is the Soviet Union back in business?”
Virginia Tech has shelled out $100,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by one of its former soccer players… who was benched for NOT kneeling to show support for the Marxist/racialist hate group, Black Lives Matter (https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/kiersten-hening-virginia-tech-soccer/2023/01/09/id/1103642/).
A hundred thou is nice, but we’re disappointed the student didn’t follow up on her lawsuit and bring the case to court. The settlement allows the university to escape blame for any “wrongdoing”–to wit, violating the student’s civil rights by forcing her to make a political statement which went against her beliefs.
The coach tried to compel speech from his players; he tried to put his words in their mouths. Compelled speech is unlawful. It is un-American. It does not belong here.
Both the university and the coach should have been forced to fess up to what they did and apologize; and the awarded damages should have been much more. What does Virginia Tech care for a hundred thousand bucks? It’s chicken feed.
And to hear them spin it, they got off scot-free, and “clear of any wrongdoing.” Which is most certainly not the case. But hypocrisy comes easy to these people.
Considering how many Marxists have infiltrated the government and academia, they probably consider comparisons to the USSR and Red China a compliment.
They’re certainly trying to follow in those footsteps.
Thank you!
