Via Eugene Volokh, a federal judge has just issued a temporary restraining order preliminary injunction against UCLA, forbidding that state university from operating or allowing Jew-free exclusion zones on its campus.
As a retired officer from both CA and OR in my career, having sworn to uphold and defend our Constitution and the laws of the states, I find the behavior of the public institution in permitting the encampment of protestors on their public spaces to be malfeasance and misfeasance of the highest order. Allowing the protestors to decide who may pass through University of California property is ludicrous at least. It boggles the mind. If the protestors want to party, there's plenty of room out in the Mojave desert, where they can mine borax to their hearts' content.
'A final by-the-way note: In May, I filed a public records request with UCLA, asking for the university’s instructions to the security contractor that denied me admission to the encampment on the grounds that the people inside it hadn’t cleared me.'
Oh baby. That is sure to light a fire in the bureaucracy of the Professionally Aggrieved. They hates hates HATES nasssty challenges to their (bogus) authority and diktat.
Modern unis are literal fortresses of Wokedom. They permit NO divergence of thought -- that is violence with 'hate speech' doncha know -- and operate as a hive. Not like a hive. As a hive. You either are on the Woke-Fem wagon, or you are anathema, to be ejected and eradicated. The admin is utterly bloated with Identity jivers, some true believers, some just opportunists, but all of them foul and inflexible.
These so-called protesters obviously don’t understand irony, or history, or have any concept of self awareness. The administrators that allowed the exclusion of Jews and others from utilizing the grounds of a public university should not only be fired, but jailed. Hard to believe this happened in America.
Every time I see that photo you took, Chris, of those smug assholes at their chickenshit barricade, my blood boils
The pro-Zionist Jews shouldn't act surprised by this. This country has demonized all forms of nationalism and in-group preference since WW2 through education and propaganda. Zionism itself is basically Jewish nationalism. The students are just reacting what has been taught to them since the 60s.
I'm not getting into that argument and getting tossed off Substack. But I will say that when you watch certain people's actions and listen to what they say over long enough time and in my case in excess of 30 years, you get a real good inference on what I said. It doesn't help them either when they openly claim non jaws are nothing more than cattle to be used as such. Not sure you've ever been called a goyim to your face then go find what the word actually means.
Besides they are the ones constantly harping on about White supremacism, they tend to project their actions onto others to be able to use the perpetual victim card. I mean why? Why call yourself a victim if you're the only people of the planet that God speaks to?
Well on a day when the Hamas Nazis shut down the entire 405 a few miles south of UCLA it’s good to know that somewhere in crazy town a Judge knows the law. Thanks for the glimmer Chris. I needed it.
California has allowed this type of behavior since the late 50s. The way i see it, this is the dog biting the masters hand. You can't flood the country with all these foreign outsiders and inundate all students of the "horrors of colonialism" for the past 60 years and not expect this.
The most important point may be incompetent and frightened tyranny out the gate.
“Instead, UCLA claims that it has no responsibility to protect the religious freedom of its Jewish students because the exclusion was engineered by third-party protesters.”
Institutions run by weak individuals naturally attract infestations of extremism. The signals sent out by acquiescing in unlawful conduct get picked up throughout society.
The current wave of radicalism will get episodicaly and marginally contained by the judiciary but in the long run it is preposterous for anyone to put their faith in the courts. At best the courts will offer only enough relief to maintain the illusion that the rule of law will protect people.
Laws are ultimately useless. Conscience (moral clarity) and resolve at a granular level remain essential. Such a simple lesson.
Chris, thanks for the update on this… I live out in the desert and my son is a month away from starting his first quarter at UCLA. Math major. We are not Jewish… We had some good discussions about the campus environment… decided he was mature and knowledgeable and grounded enough to stay away from this crap. We are all excited for him to get the experience and I hope it’s not corrupted.
Tens of thousands of students, maybe 200 pro-Hamas encampment losers. He can keep his head down and learn math, but draw some lines and defend them. There will be ideological pressures.
“And defend them”. This is a very important addition. If the kid looks away, it could be a long term stain on his integrity, especially if people get injured. If he “defends” it could be a long term badge of honor. Let’s face it, there will be major protests if Israel engages in any acts (even defensive) against Lebanon. There will even be protests in sympathy with DNC protesters. This could get very ugly.
This is a situation where I like to play the substitution game: What if whites controlled where POC could access? What if conservatives denied entrance to liberals? What if pro-lifers denied access to womb murderers? What if 2A supporters denied access to anyone not carrying? What if nationalists demanded “papers” and controlled entrance by illegals? Can anyone believe for a nano-second that the DOJ wouldn’t immediately pull out all the stops to identify and incarcerate(without bail) those responsible. It would be another J6 level effort. And the media would be doom-reporting 24/7 for any of these “what ifs.” Feel free to reply with your own “what ifs...”
What-ifs don't work. I've been around for almost five decades and "what if that were said about whites" (for example) hasn't moved the needle one inch.
They must feel pain. Stuff like bussing illegals to NYC, lawsuits for anti-white bigotry, blaming them for murdering blacks with the vax mandates, boycotts, etc. Anything to turn their own tactics against them.
These people are complete assholes, either because they are captured by ideology, psychopaths, or just unbelievably fucking stupid. If you rely on their decency or their ability to think in terms of principles, you're going to be sorely disappointed my friend.
Oh, I agree completely that “what ifs” don’t work to change anything. The game is just my little exercise to remind myself that I’m not the crazy one… they’re crazy for believing what they’re doing is righteously correct. You absolutely can’t negotiate rationally with crazy people. You absolutely must impose painful negative consequences. Which is why Western Civ leaders used to say, before they got completely derailed, “The gallows are the highest form of civilization.”
What’s next for America, relearning how to tie our shoes and use a can opener? FFS.
The University knows exactly what it’s doing and has no shame. They have to be policed not to discriminate against students. The irony and the illegal, regressive discrimination are so amazing as to be nearly incomprehensible to anybody with a cursory knowledge of American history. Only highly educated people can be this stupid and dogmatic.
The only way this stops is to fire a lot of people and cripple these woke, corrupt institutions with economic and governance sanctions. The administrators should also be held personally liable for their decisions, as they are personally responsible for breaking the law. All these decisions are illegal. These people are garbage.
Bigoted, stupid, and arrogant. Unfortunately that’s a common profile for modern university administrators.
The same people who shout words like Islamophobia, racism, sexism, etc., are saying it’s ok to discriminate against Jews. My opinion: they don’t believe in equal application of the law, they believe there are different rules based on social segmentation, political ideology, race, sex, gender. They justify discrimination by using rationales. To them, the law should NOT be equally applied. They are a true threat to democracy and freedom.
This is not the America we grew up in. It's no surprise that American patriotism is at an all time low as more subsects divide us further and further. The fact is we are weaker as a whole if everyone has a different agenda and propagandists have us right where they want us. I worry for our children. Thanks Chris for what you're doing you are a real patriot. Hope all is well with the family. 🙏

Oh stop! You take the Constitution and The Laws much too seriously.
Bunch a white slave owners. What did they ever do for us?

Humor. Crime!
Dang we could have used you during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots!
>In mid-August, the university is still processing my request for records.
I'm sure they'll get right on that.
Leftists don't give a shit about laws or norms of they aren't immediately in the process if weaponizing them
I always interpret their "processing updates" as a middle finger.

#Defund UC 😂

Zionism is Jewish supremacism.
And, jorn, how dat?

Well earned
That's basically what it is when you get down to the nitty-gritty.
Amen to that. I'm Thinking a bitch slap awaits those little turds at the gate
Well on a day when the Hamas Nazis shut down the entire 405 a few miles south of UCLA it’s good to know that somewhere in crazy town a Judge knows the law. Thanks for the glimmer Chris. I needed it.
PS if you haven’t seen the video , check it out
How about when they shut down the Golden Gate bridge??? No arrests.
California has allowed this type of behavior since the late 50s. The way i see it, this is the dog biting the masters hand. You can't flood the country with all these foreign outsiders and inundate all students of the "horrors of colonialism" for the past 60 years and not expect this.
They should all be in jail.
I very much would like to see them there.
Me too .. graduated in 1980 from there … what a disgrace.. I give them zero alumni money.
Same for me w/ the University of AZ, ‘Bro
And defund the whole UC system.
Here we go. Speaks my lingo.

The American Judiciary is now on the backbench headed for back burner headed for irrelevance.
That’s Bipartisan because they actually did their duty to the Constitution, which was supposed to finish fading away.
You see of course SCOTUS 🇺🇸✝️.
The P@pists went to the meetings, for 30-40 years.
Ergo Dobbs, in exchange for Chevron. ✝️ wanted abortion checked (gone actually but highly unlikely). Business wanted Chevron gone.
✝️ own 🍕wanted both 🤣.
🇺🇸✝️ have done their duty, as both Roe (reversed by Dobbs) and Chevron were unconstitutional.
We 🇺🇸✝️ did our duty to 🇺🇸.
The great decentralization has begun in earnest. We 🇺🇸 are just restoring our natural Federation that is to say decentralized.
Some call it Subsidiarity. <
Remember the lament of years that “the Left wins because they go to the meetings?”
Well someone else did too…
(And I am not joking about the 🍕connection lol).
By that definition, couldn't the KKK "legally" seal off parts of campus from non-white catholics?
Wouldn't ALL exclusions be engineered by outsiders? How stupid
It is an unbelievable shame that spineless and/or fellow-travelers allowed this to happen. These people should lose their jobs.
There will be 300 qualified applicants for each of these over-paid, under-worked positions.

It isn't the Hamasniks, it's the professors.

I'd look into a smaller or private college, imho.

De-escalate? All it did was escalate the takeover by the protesters and embolden them.

What a great ruling by the judge.
UCLA has been allowing Jew-free zones on its campus!!! Unbelievable!
