In a recent Wall Street Journal letter to the editor a writer claimed his son’s college Mechanical Engineering class required “students to re-write engineering problems in a context of social justice.” In other words, grades will be based on a student’s social justice views rather than the ability to understand engineering concepts. And we wonder why American education is falling behind.
A civil jury awarded Transfer Energy Co. $660M in damages after finding Greenpeace activists blocked the company’s construction of their pipeline. Greenpeace’s interim executive director, Sushma Raman, said: “This case should alarm everyone…. It’s part of a renewed push by corporations to weaponize our courts to silence dissent.” “Weaponize our courts”? Really?
This once respected organization is claiming trespassing, destruction of property and/or disrupting legal activity is “dissent”. Shame. Should corporate victims of this “dissent” forsake the courts and retaliate violently, a la., strike breaking thugs? Is this the justification for firebombing Teslas?
We’ve witnessed the weaponization of the law by the persecution of Trump and with the refusal to prosecute rioters in cities (post George Floyd). Recently, Biden “weaponized” pardons followed by Trump’s retaliatory pardons. Currently, judges have “weaponized” themselves to run the country. Where are we headed?
