If you’ll remember, I mentioned a bit ago that super tolerant Cult of Climastrology members were looking to strip Washington State Senator Doug Ericksen of the degree he earned and paid for, ’cause tolerance. Now
(Watchdog) A Washington state senator has survived a campaign by Western Washington University students who demanded their school revoke his master’s degree because he’s not radical enough on global warming.
But the effort to yank Ericksen’s degree — he earned his MA in political science and environmental policy at WWU — met with a stiff rebuke last week from the university’s president.
​“We appreciate the good work of Senator Doug Ericksen on behalf of Western Washington University,†said WWU President Bruce Shepard. “Senator Ericksen, a Western alumnus, has proven to be a friend to Western and a strong advocate … The strength of our democracy is that all citizens, including students and leaders like Senator Ericksen, have the freedom of expression to take positions with diverse viewpoints.â€
Shepard dismissed “any notion that we might seek to penalize a graduate for the positions they express†as “a disturbing misunderstanding of the intellectual freedoms any university worthy of the name must stand for. And, protect.â€
CoC members could care less about freedoms. They have their positions, and all who fail to fall in line Must Be Punished.
