By Columbia
University graduate Emma Sulkowicz, the mattress-toting face of the
sexual grievance industry and the purveyor of a highly questionable rape
claim lodged against a male classmate subsequently cleared of
wrongdoing by both the university and the district attorney, has made
yet another questionable accusation against yet another presumptively
innocent male at Columbia. This time, it’s the president of the
University, Lee Bollinger. Read on–there might be an important lesson
here.
Here’s what happened. Sulkowicz graduated from the University on Tuesday, and the University discouraged her from bringing her ugly old mattress to the graduation ceremony. An email was circulated Monday from the Columbia administration asking students not to bring “large objects which could interfere with the proceedings or create discomfort to others in close, crowded spaces shared by thousands of people” to the ceremony. But Sulkowicz being Sulkowicz brought the mattress anyway, and the University allowed it even though the man she accused was also in attendance to receive a diploma. (His family was devastated, but no one seems concerned about them.) Sulkowicz was told by university officials moments before she crossed the stage that she was not allowed to carry the mattress as she received her diploma, but, of course, she ignored the instruction, and she and a gaggle of enablers toted the awful thing onstage.
