What The Hell Is Going On At Brandeis?
DailyCaller – Students at Brandeis University spent Monday effusively supporting Khadijah Lynch, their fellow student who took to Twitter to celebrate the brutal, execution-style murder of two New York Police Department officers this weekend.
“i have no sympathy for the nypd officers who were murdered today,” Lynch had spouted on Saturday afternoon.
“lmao, all i just really dont have sympathy for the cops who were shot. i hate this racist fucking country,” the junior also tweeted.
Another Brandeis student, Daniel Mael, publicized these and other fanatical tweets from Lynch’s then-public Twitter account on Truth Revolt. On Monday, a throng of angry Brandeis students criticized Mael. Some suggested that the Brandeis administration should punish him for citing Lynch’s public tweets. Brandeis senior Michael Piccione, a member of the 2014-15 student conduct board, sent an urgent email to the president of Brandeis, senior administrators, radical leftist professors and students. The email — entitled “VERY IMPORTANT: Holding Daniel Mael accountable, and other threats to student safety!” — claimed that “Mael has exposed Khadijah to the largely white supremacist following of the website.” (The website to which Piccione refers is Truth Revolt.) For reporting about Lynch’s vile tweets, Piccione declared, Mael “has potentially violated multiple parts” of a Brandeis code of student conduct including “stalking.” “Khadijah specifically requested that her personal comments be removed from the website and the article in question taken down, but her wishes were ignored,” the student conduct board member also whined. Piccione’s lament refers to Lynch telling Truth Revolt that her public tweets are her “own personal opinion.” Lynch had threatened that she does not want her tweets “publicized in any form and if you do not abide my wishes i constitute your disregard as slander.”
On the Brandeis Class of 2017 OFFICIAL page, a closed Facebook group, sophomore William Amara has written: “I am sorry that Khadijah has to put up with these fucking assholes publishing (and likely distorting) her private opinions to further incite racial hatred and oppression. I hope the university will stand with you if these cocksuckers cause things to escalate further.” Even the Brandeis Asian American Student Association has joined the pile-on against Mael. Despite the fact that one of the slain New York police officers, Wenjian Liu, was as Asian-American, the student group proclaimed “sympathy” and “readiness to stand by” Lynch via a Facebook posting. She “has been wrongfully targeted and harassed,” the group said.
I don’t even understand what we’re talking about here? This story is so crazy it almost seems like it can’t be true. We got this Khadijah Lynch girl tweeting that she had no sympathy for the 2 NYPD officers who were murdered. Naturally people got pissed about it. Another Brandeis student Daniel Mael saw the tweets and published an article on a website called Truth Revolt about it. Now this is where it gets confusing for me. People seem be making Daniel Mael (the student who publicized the tweets) into the villain and Khadijah the victim. Like it was out of bounds for him quote Khadijah Lynche’s public twitter account? A girl who was in a leadership position on campus? There is even a Change.Org petition going around campus with over 1,000 signatures. Here is a quote from it;

“We cannot ignore the public vilification that ensued due to the misguided, diluted and unscrupulous representation of her character in an article written by Daniel Mael on the TruthRevolt website. Khadijah is a black woman and youth activist whose presence on Brandeis campus is just as necessary as any other student. The deliberate targeting and misrepresentation of Khadijah’s thoughts as well as the misuse of her personal photos have catalyzed a series of hate speech that puts her life and safety in danger. This is Libel. This is Defamation of Character. This is Cyber bullying. This should not be condoned. It is clear, that the intentions of the author were not to spurt a healthy conversation welcoming all sides, but rather to publicly defame Khadijah.
I don’t even know what they mean by saying she’s being misrepresented? Khadijah publicly tweeted that she had no sympathy for the cops who got murdered. Daniel Mael simply quoted her tweets. How is it defamation of character? She defamed herself by being a total idiot. Even the letter Brandeis Professor Chad Williams wrote is insane. The “responses to Khadijah Lynch should be condemned with even greater passion” than the original comments she made. Huh? Listen there is only 1 person to blame here and her name is Khadijah Lynch. I never condone saying racist shit to anybody under any circumstances and you’re a racist if you do, but I’m also not gonna cry for somebody who tweets out that they are basically happy two innocent cops got murdered. The fact so many people at Brandeis seemingly jumped to her defense is astounding and scary. I swear both sides of all these race/police conflicts are so polarizing you wish you could just wipe the earth with both groups and let the normal people with brains figure this shit out.
PS – I thought you had to be Jewish to go to Brandeis?
