They have a Facebook feed that I subscribed to (I guess), because stuff
from them shows up all the time in my news feed. They have items on all
kinds of abuses of state power, but two that predominate are the
Department of Education completely distorting Title IX of the 1972 civil
rights act to bludgeon universities into harassing, suspending and
expelling males students over trumped up "sexual violence" misdeeds, and
now all the "cultural appropriation", "microaggression", "inclusivity"
and other proggie bullshit. Some of the stories are simply outrageous,
but they're all thoroughly documented. In one recent one, a male
student was accused of some sexual misconduct by a woman who wasn't even
a student at the university. He was expelled, of course. In another, a
male student had an "inappropriate" - but 100% consensual - physical
relationship with a female athletic trainer. The trainer insisted
repeatedly, and to the end, that the relationship was consensual, but of
course the student was expelled.
Here's a good one from today's "cultural appropriation" file:
"Millikin Fraternities Told Face-Painting Is Cultural Appropriation and
Will Be Punished"
http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/11/millikin-fraternities-told-face-painting
They make the point, as they consistently do, that as a private
university, Millikin may set any rules it wants. However, they go on to
point out that this is intellectually and ethically indefensible, and of
course they're right.
And here is a really alarming one about the cops simply stealing $20,000
from someone as an "asset forfeiture", even though the traffic search
and the search of the man's car were completely without cause and
illegal, no charges were ever brought, and the district attorney moved
to reverse the forfeiture. A court threw out the DA's motion, and the
man's $20,000 was kept. *Only* libertarians and a few conservatives
oppose asset forfeiture; the left ardently supports it.

That's why gunkie hates
reason.com - it shows that everything he
believes in, 100% of it, is wrong.
