Ethics

Why I Respect Jason Kuznicki

Okay, there are many reasons. But one of the main reasons is that he will not compromise his principles to silence his opponents. In a post at Positive Liberty, he quotes an email sent to Pam Spaulding from someone who was proud to have disrupted and prevented someone they disagree with from speaking on a college campus:

The Smith College Republicans sponsored a speaking event featuring Ryan Sorba, author of the upcoming book The Born Gay Hoax. After about twenty minutes he was forced to abandon his speech after protesters forced their way into the room and drowned him out. I'll send videos and articles when they are available, but I thought I'd give you a heads up and ask you to please cover this action. I couldn't be more proud to be a Smithie right now, after I saw so many amazing young feminists come together to stand up against this asshat and his hate.
