Students Demand Pitt Eliminate Free Speech Protections
Student group coalition calls for firing of professors it deems "racist"

Activists are demanding that the University of Pittsburgh fire any employee deemed racist or discriminatory by students, a move that First Amendment advocates say amounts to the elimination of academic freedom.
Black Pitt, a coalition of black student groups, is demanding that the university fire any employee dubbed "racist" by a black-only student council and end employee speech immunity, a core principle of academic freedom and First Amendment protections for academics at public universities.
"Faculty and staff with one incident or complaint of racial bias, excessive force, or unlawful arrest/detainment should be terminated and banned from the University campus immediately if found at fault," the letter reads. "During the time of the investigation, the faculty/staff should be disclosed by name and banned from the University campus until its completion." ...
Black Pitt, which did not return a request for comment, went further than merely targeting speech on campus. The list of demands includes a black-only graduation, an overhaul of university curriculum to be more "inclusive and comprehensive regarding the plight and triumphs of black people" and to "include the black narrative," an established master's and Ph.D. program in "black studies," and for the university to sever ties with the city of Pittsburgh's police department. ...
Yeah sure...and we want free ice cream every Sunday, and a fire engine, and a new bike, and a BB gun, and a beautiful pony!
If Blacks are able to control speech under force of termination, the first thing they will do is to force all White people to declare that they are beneath dignity and hope. Whites are wretched wastes of human life and only live to serve Black people. Say it dammit, or you're fired!
Hell, why stop there? White people should all just kill themselves and let the Blacks turn America into an African jungle, with no laws, King rulers, and poverty and famine for all. Just like home...
