  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The professor decided to take over the first meeting of a legally formed campus group. She used her power as a professor to try and bully the students, and not knowing who they were, called them racists. What she could have and should have done is sit down and join in civil discussion. Confrontation and violent rhetoric will not solve anything nor have a good outcome.

The professor? Which one?
Cheryl Mueller. They need to stop calling people fascists and racists, to stop the persecution of those who don't have socialist ideologies.
To me it's not acceptable behavior for a professor, so far Purdue officials have not commented.

Are they allowed to call actual fascists and racists "fascists" and racists"?

Purdue has not yet released her name. Today it appears to me that most of the people calling others fascists and racists are themselves the true fascists and racists. A lot of them don't know what fascism is. Too many are bullies who think they know what's best for everyone else.

Kind of like when some accuse others of being socialists or communists.

-- A2SG, a lot of people today don't know the meaning of many words....
