UCSB Professor Pleads No Contest to Assault Charges

Another embarrassing chapter at UC Santa Barbara was brought to a close when thugette professor Mireille Miller-Young pleaded no contest to assault charges stemming out of an incident in March when she yanked a poster from a young anti-abortion demonstrator on the campus and assaulted the girl when she was trying to retrieve her poster.

"UCSB spokesman George Foulsham said the university does not discuss personal matters."

Is that right? That didn't stop Vice Chancellor Michael Young from publicly opining on the incident to the entire student body.

If there is a teaching point out of this, it should be to illustrate that, contrary to the stated mission of universities, not all points of view get a respectful hearing in academia. The pro-life position is just one example. If universities are to retrieve the prestige that they have lost over the past several decades, they must be more open to points of view other than the tired, left-wing, politically-correct orthodoxy they current practice. Then maybe they will attract more qualified teachers than folks like Mireille Miller-Young.
