5 thoughts on “President Skorton’s Politically Correct Statement on Kenya University Massacre

  1. This is nonsensical. I am a hardline conservative but why does he need to say that the victims were Christian when offering condolences? Should he also mention all of them by name?

    And I don’t know what further condemnation is required beyond “senseless act.” Should he say “These acts were committed by terrible f***ing people”? Any more is just rehashing the obvious.

    1. The point is he is bound by political correctness and cannot tell the truth.

      I wrote that his condemnation of the attack would be as pointless as his current statement. But if he’s going to make a statement, he should make it an honest one.

      1. What “truth” is he not telling? There is nothing false in his statement. I don’t know why a statement such as this would ever go into the details of such an attack. Whatever point you’re trying to make is straight up stupid.

        1. These Kenyans weren’t killed because they were students. They were killed because of their religion. Why did Skorton leave this point out? Isn’t it important that people of all religions feel safe at universities?

          And, as I’ve written in the article and to you, my point is that this statement as it was written is unnecessary. If you want to make a statement about the massacre, then make an honest one that doesn’t leave out key facts, such as why these people were targeted and who targeted them.

  2. No campus today is fully stocked without the full liberal vocabulary that says nothing. “Community” is one word that means nothing.
    Example: “university community.”
    What is that? Have 4 earned degrees but never locatd the community. I did have friends and in organized groups.
    I assume one might say “university” community if an event was staged an 500 of your closest friends attended the event.
    The next odd statement is: a university is a place where learning is valued. I assume the Muslim killers of Christinas were not there to learning but killing.
    If it is inane and ignorant, invite a modern university president to address the problem if he or she can locate the problem.
