Student Government at Whitworth University in WA Rejects Campus Speaker Who Survived Mao’s Communist Revolution in China

The conservative student group Turning Point USA at Whitworth University in Washington state invited Xi Van Fleet to speak on campus, but the student government at the school rejected the event.

What is the problem? Is the left wing student government afraid that students at the school might learn what life is really like under a communist regime?

This is also a Christian school.

Campus Reform reported:

‘What are they afraid of?’: Student govt. rejects hosting anti-woke survivor of Maoist China

The student government at Whitworth University (WU) voted to reject a speaker who survived communism under Mao Zedong and criticizes woke culture for suppressing opposing ideas.

During an Apr. 12 meeting, the Associated Students of Whitworth University (ASWU) voted 9-4 against hosting Xi Van Fleet on campus. Van Fleet immigrated from Maoist China to the U.S. and draws parallels between the Chinese Cultural Revolution and what she calls the “Woke Revolution,” according to a description of her book Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning.

WU is a private Christian university in Spokane, Wash.

Grace Stiger, president of the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter at WU, spoke at an earlier meeting about the organization’s intention to host Van Fleet. The planned sponsor for her speaking engagement, the Leadership Institute, is the parent organization of Campus Reform.

The ASWU meeting minutes show Stiger describing Van Fleet as someone who “grew up in China during Mao’s Cultural Revolution.”

“We want her to tell her story,” Stiger continues.

Stiger says that, when ASWU members voted against Van Fleet during the next meeting, they objected to her tweets because they “were fearful of her bringing views to campus that would be hurtful or offensive.”

In the meeting minutes, the tweets in question criticize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Black Lives Matter, and other social justice movements.

“What are they afraid of?” Van Fleet asked in an interview with Campus Reform. “Those people who believe in lived experience, then they are going to get the lived experience from me because I’m not talking about an idea that I read or researched or studied.”

This 2021 tweet from Van Fleet speaks volumes.

I am deeply thankful. Today 35 yr ago, my dream came true. I was granted a student visa to come to USA. I no longer feel this is the America that I arrived in. She has been under attack by Marxism/Communism that I thought I had escaped from. That’s why I am fighting to save her! pic.twitter.com/kFLLVNwCsx

We need more college students in America to learn the truth about communism.

Xi Van Fleet should be speaking at schools across the country.

In Violent NYC Woman Punched Near Mayor Adams During Earth Day Event, Mayor Dances While City Crumbles

The Gateway Pundit reported that the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing in New York City, Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan, on Marxist Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawless, pro-criminal policies that are destroying the city and allowing crime to run rampant.

Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) complained that surging crime in NYC is “essentially fraudulent” and an illusion made up for political gain.

Nadler told the The New Post, “We will show the essentially fraudulent nature of what [committee chair] Jim Jordan and company are claiming about the crime rates in New York and compared to other cities, including Republican-led cities.”

After the hearings, video emerged of shameless House Democrats seen playing with their phones, incessantly yawning (and not covering their mouths), not paying attention and some say even appearing to even fall asleep at the NYC hearing.

On the heels of the hearing, video shows that not even NYC Mayor Eric Adams is immune from the violence in the city.

Adams joined a “Car-Free Earth Day” event in the South Bronx when a woman started disrupting the event kicking bags of garbage and being verbally disruptive.

An older man asked the woman to stop her disruptive behavior, but she refused.  The man then punched the woman and she fell to the ground.

The New York Post reports: 

The woman then dumped more debris out of one bag, yelling, ‘F–k off my block! What the f–k is up?!” before the man had enough.

He grabbed her shirt with his right hand and clocked her in the face with a wild-left roundhouse punch, dropping her to the pavement as startled onlookers gasped, “Oh!”

Members of the mayor’s security detail and event organizers quickly tried to separate the two.

However, the woman rose from the ground within two seconds and charged at the man screaming, “You want to hit me, n—a!”

She jumped up swinging but failed to land her punches because the man was already being escorted away in the opposite direction by security.

The woman walked away fuming — as a smiling Adams posed for selfies nearby and greeted about 30 supporters.

It’s unclear if Hizzoner heard the initial exchange, but minutes later he asked his security if there was a “uniformed officer” around to help resolve the disagreement after the woman stormed back screaming, “He hit me!” — and demanded a rematch.

The identities of both sluggers could not immediately be confirmed.

No one was arrested.

But while the city crumbles around him, Adams lectures New Yorkers on being more green and dances.
