It used to be that people prided themselves on our free speech and the many other freedoms that come with being a citizen of this great nation. But Liberals are actively killing the Freedom of Speech. They are squashing any opinion that they don’t like and claiming offense. It has become so bad that conservatives no longer feel comfortable expressing themselves, in fear of the cancel culture. So it only makes sense that students would feel so entitled that they would defend the greatest threat to our nation, China.
Corporate Law Professor Thomas Smith was critical about China and how they are most likely responsible for this pandemic, which even our National Intelligence has claimed was leaked from a lab. But students at San Franciscan University took offense claiming he was being xenophobic for coming down on China. A country that experts warn wants to topple our government.
The Professor’s “offensive” post.
Wuhan Lab Theory a Dark Cloud on China – WSJ
By Tom Smith
Alas, the World Health Organization mission is turning into a case of disaster foretold. A credible inquiry requires China’s full cooperation, not just cooperation with those lines of inquiry that are consistent with its own propaganda. And couldn’t somebody have put Peter Daszak, team member from New York City’s EcoHealth Alliance, under permanent mouth quarantine?
To insist that human encroachment on nature is the great risk tells us nothing about what happened in this particular case. To insist, as he did on NPR, that China’s manhandling of the delegation with greeters in full hazmat garb, its forcing of the visitors into 14-day quarantine, was merely testament to China’s Covid rigor overlooks another possibility: China was seeking to intimidate and dominate the investigators because of the colossal importance it places on controlling the virus narrative.

If you believe that the coronavirus did not escape from the lab in Wuhan, you have to at least consider that you are an idiot who is swallowing whole a lot of Chinese cock swaddle. At least Peter Daszak has good personal and financial reasons, not to mention reasons of career preservation, for advancing what he must know is a facially implausible thesis. But whatever. Go Science!
UPDATE: It appears that some people are interpreting my reference to “Chinese cock swaddle,” as a reference to an ethnic group. That is a misinterpretation. To be clear, I was referring to the Chinese government.”
Students wrote a letter to complain about his hurtful post.
“…We are extremely hurt by your words. We want this letter to educate you on how your words have a greater, adverse impact on your own students at USD and the community at large. Specifically, we are writing to express the depth of hurt and disappointment you caused to the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community….
Your blog post promoting a conspiracy theory that COVID-19 originated in a lab from Wuhan, China, has detrimental consequences for students you teach and beyond. Based on your update to the blog post[1], you still have not grasped the severity of the issue or its wider implications for the community that you inhabit. At this point, the origins of COVID-19 are still largely speculative. We are not here to say that any conclusion about the origins of COVID-19 is right or wrong. That deflects from the point. The point is that your speculation of COVID-19 originating from a lab in China only perpetuates an “us versus them” mentality that negatively impacts the API community….
We came to law school hoping we could arm ourselves against such indignities, and yet we are asked to endure them from our own professors under the guise of academic and scholarly debate….
Please consider your position as a community leader who represents the law school. Please consider the diverse students at USD Law and how unsafe they may feel learning from you. Please recognize the difference between intent versus impact. We recognize it may not have been your intent to cause harm, but you did. Take ownership, listen, learn, and do better. All law students are required to take an oath of professionalism prior to law school and our professors must be held to the same standard….”
Smith is of course now in danger of losing his job since he decided to speak his mind on his own personal blog. Students claim his opinion could somehow encourage violence against Asian people. But nowhere in his post does he promote violence and he is not speaking out against the Chinese people, but the government.
This is the sad state of our Education System. Professors and students should be able to speak their minds as long as they are not inciting violence or promoting hate speech. Especially in this case, where a Professor is calling out China for causing the pandemic. We should all be concerned about China, they are by no means our ally.
