In fact, he    called them assholes.  <\/p>\n<p>    Thats what they are, Myers told me in a telephone interview    on Friday. I think theyve amply demonstrated it is accurate.  <\/p>\n<p>    And he also doesnt like The Morris North Star, a conservative    student publication that routinely draws the ire of liberals at    the University Minnesota at Morris.  <\/p>\n<p>    I said it was a terrible, terrible paper and they university    should not be endorsing it, Myers said.    But attorneys for the student newspaper are alleging Myers    broke the law when they say he wrote a blog post on his        personal blog urging people to throw away the publication.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Alliance Defending Freedom has accused Myers, an associate    professor in the schools biology program, of encouraging    people to steal and throw away a copy of the November 22nd    edition of the newspaper.  <\/p>\n<p>    That particular edition included a satire on affirmative    action. The professor said the paper was mocking minority    students.  <\/p>\n<p>    I would advocate the disposal of their flyers if the Ku Klux    Klan started papering our campus, and likewise, the North Star    has worn out its welcome and must go, the professor wrote.    Treat their scattered papers as hate-filled trash and dispose    of it appropriately.  <\/p>\n<p>    Myers went on to call the student editors of the publication    wingnutty and even took a swipe at Fox News.  <\/p>\n<p>    We do have conservative students here  I expect that the    majority are more conservative than I am  but they also trend    towards being more the reasonable, rational, educate sort of    conservative, he wrote. Not the kind youll see on Fox News,    and most unfortunately, not the kind who are likely to get    elected to the Republican party.  <\/p>\n<p>    Oh yeah  he also called the conservative youngsters    assholes-in-training.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/2014\/04\/15\/did-professor-advocate-censorship-conservative-student-newspaper\/\/RS=^ADAq_a_l3.i8QB9eN9Obucv7kUwnWI-\" title=\"STARNES: Did professor advocate censorship of conservative student newspaper?\">STARNES: Did professor advocate censorship of conservative student newspaper?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> University of Minnesota at Morris biology professor Dr.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/transhuman-news-blog\/censorship\/starnes-did-professor-advocate-censorship-of-conservative-student-newspaper\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-censorship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29948"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29948\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
