I just knew that the administration at GWU wasn’t going to apply the same rules to the leftists who put up a poster containing hate speech against both Muslims and conservatives as they would have if the conservatives had been responsible for the hate speech against Muslims.
George Washington University President Steven Knapp has no plans to take disciplinary action against a group of students involved in an anti-Muslim flier hoax, a university spokeswoman said yesterday."We have established judicial policies and procedures," university spokeswoman Tracy Schario said. "I am confident that President Knapp will let them take their course."
However, Mr. Knapp "reserves the right to intervene" in the university's student-judicial process, she said.
Graduate student Adam Kokesh and senior Brian Tierney with five other students took responsibility Tuesday for the fliers, which contained the phrase "Hate Muslims? So Do We!" The students said the posters were "creative political action" to draw attention to the upcoming Islamo-Facism Awareness Week starting Oct. 22.
Jason Mattera, spokesman for the national conservative group Young America's Foundation said Mr. Knapp's inaction shows political bias and is unfair to the campus chapter of the group, whose name was inserted the fliers.
"He's going to expose himself as a liar," Mr. Mattera said. "When it first emerged, he said we're not going to tolerate it. Now that it turns out it's liberals he's going to show where his political views lie."
When President Knapp thought that the conservatives had made and posted these fliers, it was stated that such speech would not be tolerated and the perpetrators would be expelled. Now that a group of liberals have confessed their guilt in this case, he has backed off that statement and will let them off with a slap on the wrist.
Where’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to protest this injustice? Too busy protecting the Jena thugs, no doubt.
