Hate Speech Condoned on SCC Campus

We were invaded on May 25 and 26 by a club on campus called The Rebel Alliance with ties to off-campus movements, most obviously, The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. They dominated our public square, scrawled their message on our sidewalks, and filled our air with their anti-American and anti-Christian rhetoric. They forced the young adults of tax-paying parents to sit and listen to their pro-communist garbage in classrooms, being supported by instructors who have a political agenda.

However, the biggest injustice occurred when this far-left group of Rebel Alliance members wrote, “Christian Fascist Movement” in large letters on the sidewalks, implying that Christians are seeking to impose their religion on the general populace. If these people knew anything about Christianity at all, they would know that believing is a matter of receiving, not of forcing. However, the point is that this club was allowed by faculty and staff to get away with hate speech of the lowest kind.

When confronted with this insult to all Christians on campus, the reply of the Student Activities Program Director was that this was merely an expression of free speech. No doubt had any other classification of mankind such as Gay, Muslim, or Black been inserted in the place of Christian, the outcry would have been loud and the director’s reaction immediate. Even the Buddhists who are the self-purported purveyors of world peace aligned themselves with the Rebels and remained silent.

Yet Lenin had something to say about those westerners who aided his cause. He called them “useful idiots”, and such were the two men who manned the Rebel table on Wednesday. When asked what their intent was, the youngest replied, “to bring down the government.” When asked who he would call if someone broke into his dwelling at gunpoint, the older man could only rant on about the need for the policing of corporations.

These are the same genre of people who littered the campuses during the 60’s. I know. I was there. Their message is the same. Their intent is the same and even their smell is the same. I would ask the Rebel Alliance club advisor and the Student Activities Director and the President of the College who was also aware of this situation to publicly apologize to the student body in general and to the Christians on campus in particular, in printed form, since they condoned the writing in large letters of the hate speech against Christians.

I would also question the wisdom of allowing the Rebel Alliance Club to remain on campus since they are sucking up the money of the taxpayers of the United States of America, who they despise. Lastly, I would ask the students to discern what is being fed them in their classes. Not everything is good for food.
