Dear Editor:
Political correctness is often equated with tidy dictionary words to a "belief that language and practices which could offend sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated."
"University of Missouri reports third-highest rate of sexual assault among students. Nearly a third of female undergraduate students at the University of Missouri-Columbia say they have experienced some form of sexual assault or misconduct during their time at the school." Esther Honig, Sept 23, 2015.
"Mizzou has made headlines over the handling of sex assault cases involving student athletes. Former running back Derrick Washington in 2011 was sentenced to five years in prison for sexually assaulting a former tutor and others made assault allegations against him before the legal proceedings." Columbia Mo. (AP) Oct. 7, 2014.
"Sasha Menu Courey, a University of Missouri swimmer was allegedly raped by one or more members of the Missouri football team in 2010. Sixteen months later the alleged assault Menu Courey committed suicide." Jessica Grose, Jan. 24, 2014.
"A study made between 2009-2014 for University of Missouri-Columbia shows a pattern of rapes and sexual assaults against women." Dana "Blaze" Nov. 9 2015.
Indeed violence toward women and political correctness have much in common. It stinks like yesterday's garbage.
We need to separate fact and fiction and balance everything. Rape and sexual assault is one of the most unreported crimes in the nation. "Under Title IX law enforced by the U.S. Department of Education once a school knows or reasonably should know of possible sexual violence it must taken immediate and appropriate action to investigate or otherwise determine what happened."
It's my opinion that Mizzou's racial tension was mind blowing and stupid. It diverts attention from campus commitment to investigating sexual assaults. We have civil rights activists who long for the time of race activism and can't stop picking on old scabs and trying to cause trouble.
On Nov. 10 Dana, host on "The Blaze," showed a picture from Mizzou campus police that shows a blurred feces drawing of a swastika at 2 a.m. inside a restroom stall rather than dormitory wall as reported by the students.
On Nov. 16 Dana on "The Blaze" showed a video over the weekend in the Mizzou library of a group of blacks entering and shouting racial slurs at white students studying.
Remember the old story "pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered."
