Law professor Carol Swain of Vanderbilt University wrote a column critical of Islam back in January, sparking a protest against her on campus accusing her of hate speech.
But that has not stopped the scholar, who describes herself as a Republican and Christian, from continuing to speak out on all the pressing issues facing this nation.
In her latest post, she calls it like she sees it regarding the mayhem in Baltimore in a piece headlined: “Stop Making Excuses! Black Protesters Need Discipline, Not Destructive Carte Blanche.”
It states in part:
Giving people space to destroy is an idiotic solution to urban unrest. What these protesting groups need is space to create constructive solutions to societal problems. We must refrain from making excuses for black violence and mayhem, which only enables the harebrained. The foolishness we witnessed during urban protests in Baltimore, Ferguson, and other cities will cease when authorities impose severe penalties on those who take opportunistic advantage of community tragedies. …
If black Americans are to be truly equal, they must be held to the same standards imposed on other groups reacting to similar situations. To this end, violence and vandalism are never acceptable forms of protest in a civilized society. I’m just saying. . .I am sick and tired of this foolishness and what I see as a regression in black America.
