| Harvard Keynoter Said Jews, Christians Should Be ‘Locked Up' For Their Views |
| 2019-05-08 |
| h/t Instapundit A recent keynote speaker at the Harvard University Art & Science Faculty Conference on Diversity told his Twitter followers in 2015 that people who base their spiritual beliefs on the Hebrew scriptures should be "locked up." Author and speaker Tim Wise went on in that tweet, saying "people basing their beliefs on the fable of Noah and the Ark, or their interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah ... rather than science or logic ... If you are basing your morality on a fairy tale written thousands of years ago, you deserve to be locked up ... detained for your utter inability to deal with reality ... NO, we are not obligated to indulge your irrationality in the name of your religious freedom What about Islam? |

| #9 But is it not logical to also include followers of the koran, Bhahadvid Gita, and all other fictional stories which convey a moral or social standard, such as Siddhartha or Marvel Comics? And if his conviction be true, then to host a building dedicated to both art and science is a fallacy and the faculties should be arrested. Timwise is calling for the arrest of anyone who has ever wrote a poem, penned a novel, painted, filmed, or designed. In fact, the arrest of nearly everyone except the three or four people who tolerate him at cocktail parties, then likely call him creative and illogical slurs afterwards. |

| #7 To be fair, he wouldn't say that in a reasonably orthodox church either. Maybe a Unitarian meeting hall, though. Only where he can get warm fuzzy strokes for his "courage and insight." |

| #6 Exactly, little Timmy would never say that in a mosque. |

| #5 No one seems to be interested in reminding this ignorant arsehole that part of islamic scripture is also hebrew scripture. But to go there would be a no-no I guess for a Harvard Twit. I'd like to see this fellow say these things to a muslim cleric. |

| #3 Ain't it inneresting: The academic world's policy prescription for any form of "wrong thinking" - as defined by them - is... Jail! The academic world's policy prescription for any form of property or violent crime committed by a minority group is... No penalty! |

| #2 So the more normative segment of the population cannot base their beliefs upon 'fables or fairy tales written thousands of years ago'. But all must bow down and upend the larger social order before the chronically DELUSIONAL who imagine they are another gender because, of what again exactly? |

| #1 Sounds like someone needs to be sent to the re-education camps. |
