UCONN Welcomes Anita Hill, Offers Counseling for ‘Even the Thought’ of Ben Shapiro By Jeff Reynolds

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Far-left provocateur Anita Hill spoke to a student group at the University of Connecticut. This despite Hill’s participation in the “high-tech lynching” of an African-American nominee for the Supreme Court.
In response to this partisan provocation, college administrators are offering counseling for folks who may be threatened or triggered.
The email reads, in part, “In the meantime, please utilize the many campus resources available to you should you want to talk through your feelings about this issue, including my office, the Cultural Centers, the Dean of Students Office, and CMHS, if necessary.”
UCONN should be lauded for taking proactive steps to ensure that potentially offensive speech is met with responses of maturity and tolerance, especially given the speaker’s history of making uncorroborated and unproven accusations against an African-American man seeking appointment to the highest court in the land.
Except that’s not what happened at all. Anita Hill was feted at UCONN’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Legacy Convocation. According to the UCONN website,
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Living Legacy Convocation featuring Anita Hill
Thurs, Jan 18, 1:00 pmMLK Living Legacy Convocation
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Living Legacy Convocation provides the opportunity for the UConn community to acknowledge that, in spite of the passage of time, through actions we are all accountable for making Dr. King’s dream a reality. Through this annual program, it is our goal to showcase a message of humanity, hope, understanding and the need for continuous learning as a community committed to inclusion.
We are proud to welcome Anita Hill as the speaker for this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Living Legacy Convocation to be held on January 18, 2018 at 1 pm in the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts.
Please join us for an inspiring afternoon.
Believe it or not, the trigger warning email wasn’t sent to inoculate students against the far-left provocateur.
You can have a moment to recover from your shock.
No, that email was actually sent in response to a proposed talk, not yet finalized, by Ben Shapiro. Shapiro is a right-winger, so naturally, the UCONN students may feel threatened.
