Harvard student says she wouldn’t be able to handle class if other students didn’t support abortion

Apr 11, 2016 

Calvin Freiburger 

We’ve recently explored the ways college pro-abortion activists are woefully ill-equipped to confront pro-life thought, and now a recent segment on Fox News gives us a glimpse why.

Megyn Kelly recently interviewed Rachel Huebner, a Harvard student and staff writer with the Harvard Crimson, who says she has witnessed “open discourse [being] stifled” and a “lack of freedom of expression,” which is “occurring at Harvard and campuses nationwide.”

She cites a particularly glaring incident involving abortion:

HUEBNER: We were discussing general guidelines for class and specific things that people might find offensive, and this was just one specific instance of a comment that a student contended may be something that could hurt someone’s feelings.

KELLY: So she didn’t want to sit across from somebody who wasn’t pro-choice because she couldn’t handle the class if she just knew in her head the person was not pro-choice.

HUEBNER: Correct. It was something she deemed offensive.

Huebner elaborated on this incident in an article she wrote for the Crimson, recounting what passed for the student’s logic: “as a woman, she would be unable to sit across from a student who declared that he was strongly against abortion” (emphasis added). Not exactly the vision of strength and confidence women are supposed to be getting from feminism.

Worse, her classmates “vigorously defended this declaration” and the professor—you know, one of the role models ostensibly there to help students grow as thoughtful and well-adjusted human beings—“remained silent.”

Kelly marveled at the sad spectacle, asking how “these students think they’re gonna be able to function in the world with this sort of coddling.” But it’s worse than that – as Live Action covered in December, other schools extend this sort of coddling to “bias incident” reports, so nice officials can see to it that delicate pro-abortion flowers never have to endure the trauma of someone expressing disagreement in their presence.

In her article, Huebner explains how starting college disillusioned her assumption that everyone appreciated America’s tradition of open discourse, “that it was understood that without a marketplace of ideas, our society simply could not flourish.” Instead, she found a culture “where one has to monitor every syllable that is uttered to ensure that it could not under any circumstance offend anyone to the slightest degree.”

Of course, it’s all but impossible to shield one group from offense without offending another group, relegating pro-life perspectives to second-class status. So it’s not even about any sincere-if-misguided conviction that everyone’s beliefs must be treated gently; it’s a front to give the preferred biases protection at all costs.

That’s why this trigger-mania is so cancerous on two levels. The first is that, as we saw in Ben Shapiro’s exchange with pro-abortion campus zombies, it raises young people to become even more convinced that their support for abortion is morally and intellectually infallible, giving the abortion lobby unearned support that is both more extreme than it would have been and harder to reason with.

The second is that, as Shapiro also showed us, it takes the people we count on to be the next generation’s parents, voters, community leaders, businessmen, scientists, politicians, etc., and leaves them without real critical thinking or problem-solving skills, or clear principles by which to solve moral quandaries—while smugly convinced they’ve got it all figured out. If you’re pro-abortion, that may not bother you right now because you’re getting what you want out of the deal. But it should, because those handicaps will inevitably rub off on all the other aspects of life, culture, and politics they’ll be influencing.

Finally, Huebner notes a particularly sad irony of this craze:

The rise of safe spaces has also deeply encroached upon open dialogue and free expression. It is ironic that while the origins of the term safe space can be found in the 20th century women’s movement, where it “implies a certain license to speak and act freely,” today the term has come to be associated with precisely the opposite: the inability to speak freely. Journalists have been silenced in the name of safe spaces and debates have been barred. Books have been banned and conversation topics prohibited.

These are not what feminism or higher education were supposed to be. These are not the personal fortitude, confident independence, careful thought, or hunger for knowledge we were supposed to arming future Americans with. Until we stop this insanity, we will continue to fail our kids, both in and out of the womb.

Harvard is actively devaluing its brand. How long before a Harvard degree is seen as a negative on a job application?

A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.

Very little. A degree from Harvard is worth less than one from Bum Fu*k Egypt.

Never in public jobs. The left took over education and focused on the social sciences because those are the educational fields where there are no defined answers like in engineering and other "nuts and bolts" educational fields because they understood that is where the 2nd rate minds of bureaucrats rule. They could gradually shift the goal line a little further to the left each decade,and within 40 or 50 years we would wake up in a world where there are no answers other than what government authorities give us.

Since these people and their theories can never be proven to be wrong,they,in their ignorance,thing THEY are never wrong. So the hard sciences end up being populated by people who work for the dweebs that took the easy courses in school.

Look at Hillary Clinton. Yale and Harvard graduate,and couldn't pass a bar exam in DC. Obomber,whose only talent seems to be able to read words other people composed without a ghetto accent,etc,etc,etc. And I have been challenging people for a couple of decades to find me just ONE member of the Kennedy family that flunked out of Harvard with no response.

And I have been challenging people for a couple of decades to find me just ONE member of the Kennedy family that flunked out of Harvard with no response.

You got away with it because both you, and the people you asked, were ignorant. ted Kennedy was expelled for cheating on an undergraduate exam. JFK wrote a supposed senior honors paper that his father paid two professional columnists to help him with. It was later published as a book, "Why England slept: that his daddy bought 35,000 copies of to make it a best seller. (with help from other writers." The title was a parody of Churchill's, "While England slept". Daddy sent a copy over to England for a prime minister to review and received a letter back saying it was inferior and never would have been published if you had not been ambassador. JFK had the mentality of a 12 year old. His intellectual prentions were a bought and paid for creation by his father. He never would have entered into Harvard or graduated except that his father distributed enough money in the right places that he owned the school.

Once again you are showing yourself to be a pompous ass.

Teddy Kennedy got kicked out after being caught cheating. He did NOT flunk out.

JFK didn't flunk out,either.

Name ONE Kenndy that Harvard flunked out.

Cheating violates required academic standards.

flunk out
To expel or be expelled from a school or course because of work that does not meet required standards.

He got kicked out of Harvard for getting caught CHEATING,you dummy. Are you so feeble you can't understand that cheating is not doing ANY work,never mind work that doesn't meet the standards?

Hell,you are starting to sound like Harvard material yourself.

BTW,way to go,outing yourself as a Kennedy sycophant.

You have such a huge case of the vapors that the link you provided says I am right.

How far will you go to make a fool of yourself in defending these two stupid incompetent cupcakes? Is it because JFK was a symbol of your long bygone youth? I find nothing to recommend the man, the thinking introspective man not his forceful energetic personality and staccato voice. He messed up everything he touched while president. Yet people are still in love with him after all theses years.

And taking the final or midterm exam yourself does not meet required standards. End of story.
