So usually I would just write a post about something like this myself especially since I was present at the occurrence, but Dr. McAdams has already done so on his MU Warrior blog. His post is a summary and an analysis of what happened in Dr. Snow’s Philosophy of Crime and Punishment class on Thursday, April 3. That class is a prime example of the viewpoint discrimination that is extremely prevalent at Marquette and at other institutions of higher learning around the country, which is why I wanted to link his post here.

I was present in Dr. Snow’s class when my classmate, Greg Karge, was intellectually assaulted in class based on his comments on race and the police. Overall, this class is very discussion-based, which I really do enjoy; however not all viewpoints are equally respected.

As a side note, I wanted to support Greg, but I was afraid that my opinion would also be unreasonably criticized and suppressed. So after the class, especially when I saw the professor pulled Greg aside afterwards and after receiving his “apology” email, I felt that I had not only let Greg down, but I also had failed to stand up against viewpoint discrimination.
