“Someone” at Saint Olaf in Northfield “swatted” a group of Republican students:<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the students telling the officers they had no guns and no ammunition and felt they were the victims of a malicious prank \u2014 as right-of-center students have faced open hostility on campus for several years \u2014 the officers continued to raid the dorm and upend some of its contents.
The officers had been unaware that they were headed into a dorm full of College Republicans as they initiated the search.
The entire leadership of the College Republicans at St. Olaf College lives together in a shared pod-style dormitory comprised of several bedrooms with a common living room. It was this pod searched by officers Sunday afternoon.
\u201cWe essentially got swatted, it was just a prank or an attack, something made to intimidate us, something made to make it difficult for us to study for finals and to make us uncomfortable here on campus,\u201d said Chris, one of the students who lives in the dorm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is Saint Olaf – the place that drew national attention over a hate crime that wasn’t<\/a> – and, in one of the more blatant Berg’s Seventh Law violations I’ve ever encountered, barred Ben Shapiro from the campus<\/a> because, apparently, they didn’t want their students to experience even intellectual <\/em>consequences for their hatred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention legal consequences (emphasis added):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However a public statement to students put out by a dean on Tuesday actually praised those who called in the false threat, this despite the fact that officers had found nothing and the College Republicans told administrators they suspect they were targeted for their beliefs.
\u201cWe know this is a stressful time on campus,\u201d reads the statement, authored by Dean Rosalyn Eaton. \u201cWe appreciate the individuals who alerted the college to these concerns<\/strong>, the residents who were cooperative during the search, and the college staff members who acted quickly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They “appreciate” a bunch of spoiled little snowflakes that sent armed, nervous cops to swarm over their dorm room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Olaf has apparently becoming a finishing school for Urban Progressive Privilege<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
