A moral right...

A moral right...  That's what Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young, of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) said she has.  A moral right, that is, to assault a pro-life protestor and steal her sign.  The video at right is from a cell phone that captured the incident.

It would be easy to hype the physical specifics of this incident far beyond what actually happened.  The young woman who was assaulted did suffer some injury, but very minor.  Her property was stolen, but it was a homemade sign of negligible value.

None of that matters.

What matters is this: an adult professor, allegedly a role model for her students, took these actions and then subsequently defended them as appropriate.  Indeed, she claims to be setting a good example!

Now I'm not actually surprised by this.  It's par for the course amongst entitled progressives.  After all, they don't actually believe that everyone has equal rights, no matter how much they preach it.  They relentlessly seek to repress anti-progressive speech and activity at every opportunity.  That's exactly what Miller-Young did here – and she thinks she was in the right!

California is saturated with people holding this mindset, most especially in the larger cities and university towns.  They are bastions of progressivism in its most virulent forms.

As I read this story, I imagined what would happen to this professor were she to behave this way in Logan, Utah, near where we are shortly moving.  I suspect it would be mere minutes until she was run out of town and replaced by someone with a tighter grip on sanity.  But this is California.  Despite the fact that she's being criminally charged, my bet would be that she not only retains her position at UCSB, but is promoted as soon as the hubbub dies down.

I can't wait to escape this loony bin of a state!
