One example is from the faculty of George Mason University.

George Mason University’s faculty governing body on Wednesday called on its administration to suspend the naming of the law school after Justice Antonin Scalia.

By a vote of 25-12, the university’s faculty approved a resolution asking for an indefinite delay of the renaming.

Why the delay?  First comes the obfuscation:

The faculty resolution questions how the money was being used and expressed concern that the donation could generate negative publicity and that the donors could wield too much influence over the law school’s mission.

They argue in all seriousness that this has something to do with the new name of George Mason’s Antonin Scalia School of Law.  Apparently the freshman logic classes some of the professors pretend to teach aren’t safe spaces for those same professors.

The heart of the matter had been addressed earlier.

Last week the faculty senate passed another resolution that called the name change “problematic” and characterized Justice Scalia as intolerant to gays and minorities.

This is a cynical distortion of Scalia’s views.  Scalia was a textualist who insisted—and whose oath of office, the same oath that “living Constitutionalists” like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg took, bound him to that—that the Constitution and the laws enacted by Congress and the President actually meant what their texts said.  This required Scalia, and it should have required the Ginsburgs on the Court, to rule on what the laws said, not on what the Justices might have wanted the laws to say.

But that’s anathema to current professors, who insist that the law should say what the judge wants it to say, consistent with that judge’s (especially a Liberal judge’s) personal social agenda and sense of justice.

Never mind that it’s the citizens of the United States whose social agenda is the only legitimate agenda, never mind that justice is what the citizens of the United States say it is, through our elected representatives.  For these Liberals, we citizens don’t know what we’re doing, and we need to be overruled by our Know Betters.  Like professors.

Many of you have heard that George Mason University in Virginia is moving to rename its law school after the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.  This, of course, has Democrats, especially those in the Virginia legislature, up in arms.

Delegate Marcus Simon (D) has even gone this far in his objection:

This is a big, in-your-face kind of a move…and trying to shape their young minds and train them in the Scalia way of thinking.  That’s troubling to me.

Because teaching law students the importance of our Constitution to our legal system and to our society is troubling to this…Democrat.  Because teaching law students the importance of the text and origin of our Constitution is troubling to this…Democrat.

Because teaching students to think differently from the Left’s approved paradigm is troubling to this…Democrat.

How irrational can Democrats get in their censorship of thinking?

Elections have consequences.
