The Latest Hijinks at San Francisco State "University"

San Francisco State University is arguably the top university in the nation when it comes to radical leftist hijinks. This goes back at least to the days when I was in college in the 1960s. More recently, the university has suffered under the weak leadership of university presidents Les Wong and the current president, Lynn Mahoney. Arguably the biggest problem at SFSU is the presence of Professor Rabab Abdulhadi, a Palestinian activist, whose main mission in life is to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. She has traveled the state making speeches on campuses tinged with anti-Jewish rhetoric and has also been the mentor of the General Union of Palestinian Students (Gups), a motley crew who in the past have made expressions in support of killing Israeli soldiers. Here at Fousesquawk, we have been writing about Abdulhadi and her Guppies for years.

Now the university is back in the news again for two new outrages. On Thursday, woman swimmer Riley Gaines spoke at SFSU per the invitation of Turning Point USA, a conservative organization active on several campuses. Gaines has openly criticized the trans-sexual swimmer, Lea Thomas, and the unfair advantage that biological males who proclaim themselves to be women have over female athletes, including their presence in women's locker rooms.

Gaines' appearance did not sit well with the trans-activist folks on campus, and they showed up to protest. We turn first to the campus newspaper, Golden Gate Express for their report on the event. 

Unfortunately, the campus newspaper left out a very important detail about the event. Beyond being protested, Gaines was also physically assaulted. Her assailant was reportedly a man wearing a dress.

Meanwhile, an SFSU professor is being investigated by the university after he reportedly showed an image of the Prophet Muhammad in his class.

Despite its protestations, the only people who can speak freely at SFSU are leftist radicals. The place is a joke.

*Update April 10): Gaines has reacted to an email sent out to the SFSU community by the school Vice President for Student Affairs, Jamillah Moore, in which she characterized the protest as "peaceful".

It is worthwhile to follow how the Golden Gate Express continues to report this (if at all) beyond their initial article last week. I will continue to monitor their website.

* Update-April 10. Here is the latest article on the event at SFSU as reported by Golden Gate Express, the campus paper. It also contains part of a statement put out by SFSU President Lynn Mahoney, who has downplayed the incident. Golden Gate Express also expresses doubt about Gaines' claim she was assaulted saying that there were 8 of their reporters covering the event and none of them saw any assault.
