"I have now been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years." I'm just sitting with that.

Dartmouth College's president bio on the other site: "President of Dartmouth and a cognitive scientiest who studies why people choke under pressure and how to fix it."

I got an e-mail from the prez there today that featured lecturing about how there's a process to divest. Upon inspecting said process I found out that the president of the college can call the committee to divest together to move on something. But no sign of that happening so far.

there's no place in the US cops aren't ready and willing to brutalize old ladies on command

Oh, come on. You know those cops didn't need a command to brutalize anyone, they just waited for one because it makes the Qualified Immunity case better for them, they'd have done it without the command if it became clear to them the command wasn't coming.

Dartmouth College President Beilock last year: "Simultaneous initiatives ... will invite to campus activists who have put themselves in harm’s way by speaking their mind. We hope that these inspiring stories will motivate members of our community to have the courage to air unpopular opinions."

Is Brown the only Ivy that has rejected the use of violence and intimidation against protestors? So many institutions are eagerly beclowning themselves.

Have to admit I’m a bit surprised Hanover has riot gear.

The federal government subsidizes tactical gear for local law enforcement like any town might be facing a 9/11 (also it doesn’t matter that tactical gear wouldn’t help if 2 commercial jets were going to crash into your town).

Yeah, I get all that. And I get the money grab. But it is a ten of 10,000 people and a median income of a 100. Who are they afraid is going to riot? Must be those vicious Dartmouth kids.

No, it's the paid outside agitators(!!!) they're worried about. You know, the antifa super soldiers who get bused in by George Soros

Maybe to protect against cow zombies?

Tactical ER gear is one of the few domains where ‘buy American’ is still enforced. Every weapons program is a jobs bill.

As someone from this area, I am a little surprised, too. And really sad to read this this account.
