The following comes from an Aug. 15 posting on Gnomes National News Service (Original source: Santa Barbara News-Press).
Supporters of Mireille Miller-Young cite the “cultural legacy of slavery” and even the effects of pregnancy to explain why the feminist studies professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara would accost a teenager spreading a pro-life message on campus.
The pregnant 38-year-old who pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts of theft, vandalism and battery after stealing and destroying an anti-abortion poster and injuring a a16-year-old activist, says she’s sorry for some of her actions and hopes to “makes amends through community service.”
An associate professor whose course work, which includes pornography and sex work, has gained her the nickname the “porn professor,” Ms. Miller-Young was set to appear for sentencing today (August 14) before Judge Brian Hill in Santa Barbara County Superior Court.
“If she appears smiling on camera, she is ‘wearing the mask,’ that is, she is hiding her actual state through a strategy of self-presentation that is a cultural legacy of slavery.”
– Eileen Boris, Feminist Studies professor
But the hearing got moved to another courtroom before being rescheduled, perhaps Friday.
The News-Press obtained Ms. Miller-Young’s apology letter, which was part of a package of letters of support prepared by defense attorney Catherine Swysen, aimed at getting the lightest possible sentence for her client.
Three months pregnant at the time of the March incident, a portion of which was recorded on a cellphone camera, Ms. Miller-Young states, “I wish to apologize for my actions … The Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust group had a perfect right to come to UC Santa Barbara to express their views about women’s reproductive rights.”
“As much as the images they displayed were offensive and distressing to my students, and to me, I had no right to take their poster or destroy it,” she writes.
But the letter says nothing about the battery charge, which stemmed from Ms. Miller-Young scratching teenage activist Thrin Short.
Thrin’s 21-year-old sister, Joan Short, who also participated in the demonstration, isn’t buying the apology, telling the News-Press exclusively today, “I guess I would like to see her say to her students, ‘I did a really stupid thing. You shouldn’t follow my example.’ ”
….Support letters submitted by defense attorney Catherine Swysen and obtained by the News-Press laud the respect and admiration Ms. Miller-Young has among her peers as well as her generosity when it comes to students.
Some of the letters were written on UCSB letterhead, presumably on university equipment and university time. Among them is one from history professor Paul Spikard, who states that his colleague is the object of “an energetic smear campaign that seems to have little to do with her person or her actions, and a great deal to do with fomenting racial hatred and rallying right-wing political sentiment.”
“It would be tragic if Dr. Miller-Young were sentenced to jail time or mandatory anger management classes based on the press’ portrayal of her as an Angry Black Woman.”
He cites no reports or stories to back up the claim.
Another letter of support, also on UCSB letterhead, comes from Eileen Boris, a professor in the Department of Feminist Studies.
Prof. Boris seeks clemency for her colleague, stating, “she was at the stage of a pregnancy when one is not fully one’s self fully, so the image of a severed fetus appeared threatening.”
“If she appears smiling on camera,” Prof. Boris continues, “she is ‘wearing the mask,’ that is, she is hiding her actual state through a strategy of self-presentation that is a cultural legacy of slavery.”
Pat Hardy, a member of Santa Barbara Friends Meeting (the Quakers) and president of a group called Alternatives to Violence Project California, urges Judge Hill to consider AVP’s conflict resolution workshops as part of Ms. Miller-Young’s punishment.
“These workshops are offered both in the community as well as 19 prisons throughout the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.”
Ms. Hardy says workshops in Santa Barbara are being offered “to gang members and at-risk youth as well as a widely diverse group of adults.”
“I urge you to look beyond the recent act,” she writes to Judge Hill, “to explore the opportunity for (Ms. Miller-Young) to make a change by exploring the world of non-violence within this setting.”
Joan Short said any punishment that doesn’t include some sort of broader apology to students, not just for stealing the poster but also for the physical nature of the confrontation, does not go far enough.
“Before, some of the things she was saying was, ‘I had a right to do this. I set a good example for my students. I was showing them how to protect themselves,’ ” Joan said.
“I think she should publicly say to her students, ‘I acted completely inappropriately.’ ”

Wow — did her lawyer really argue this? It seems that judicial integrity, and respect by counsel for CA courts is very lax in the Golden West. Do not try these approaches in many Eastern or Southern courts. Many things are wrong here: (1) the defendant here assaulted one or more of these girls and this must be a basis for some punitive action, (2) the University, the students, and the person herself, need to understand that her behavior cannot be excused by blaming a bad burrito at lunch, or seeing a movie about Jim Crow laws in earlier times that made her crazy; her behavior was criminal and needs to be addressed by some time in jail; (3) the U. of California is also complicit, in several ways, including hiring such a weak “academic” in the first place (does the public know that this woman, and her entire dopey department, is actually paid to teach this People’s Magazine type of academic discipline?),; (4) the school needs to atone for this by scheduling a university day to review the First Amendment (not to study “the legacy of slavery,” or the “weariness of enduring the Male Stare,” that kind of thing), and (5) these brave young women need to publicly thanked by the University for bravely standing up for their beliefs. Not much separates Santa Barbara and Nazi-dominated Germany.
The professor (cough, cough) received 3 years probation, anger management classes, and community service for her attack on the young pro life teens.
I am under the impression that slavery in the USA has been abolished for some 150+ years, so where does her defense regarding ‘slavery’ have any merit? Are the folks in Santa Barbara under some kind of ‘protected dome of elitism’ that causes a morbid insanity, marking them as above the law? Both the university administration as well as students, professors and students all need a lesson in the Constitution, as it appears that they believe their form of ‘freedom of expression’ is unique to them, alone. The rest of us can just go hang. The story claims the ‘professor’ was three months pregnant at the time of this incident. Is she still pregnant or has that ‘form of slavery’ been addressed? Her actions (‘rooted in slavery’) would indicate to me that her motivation for her illegal actions were actually (more than possibly) rooted in ending that pregnancy, and she was personally confronted by the natural guilt of her contemplated actions. Unless she actually and honestly confronts herself in her painful regret, nothing good will come of this. Isn’t that what everyone wants, for some good to come from a really bad incident?
Oh! Come on! Does everything have to now be seen through a racial prism? This is why race relations never heal in this country. There’s a whole Racial Grievance Industry, with members like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and lawyers like this, who keep stirring up trouble and keeping the hatred alive. This is a First Amendment issue, plain and simple.
The constant drumbeat of racism charges is a ruse for a much larger objective. It’s not at all about racism per se. Rather neither racism, nor any other form of discrimination (bullying, etc.) is allowed under political correctness, not because it subordinates a class, but rather because it affirms another higher class, the alleged discriminating class. Persons higher up a hierarchal ladder of any sort, are different simply because they are higher up the ladder, and therefore must be leveled to the lowest common denominator. PC does not allow persons to be different. This way, no person is distinguishable from any other person (and the classes, a la Max, will cease to exist). Ultimately, stripped to the lowest common denominator, all individuals become equally virtually indistinguishable from animals, and they can all be oppressed, or even killed, at the whim of the governing elite, because there is nothing of value in any of them. That’s the real reason why any form of discrimination is not allowed in the New World Order (unless of course it’s directed at anything associated with Christ, which PC endeavors to destroy en route to its Marxian utopia). Racism is just the most convenient lever because it is the easiest to charge, when an alleged victim can be readily trumped up based on the simple criteria of skin color.
Because DIVISION is what Obama and Hillary (and other politicians) studied.
It’s called Saul Alinsky’s “RULES for RADICALS’ – which by the way is dedicated to Lucifer.
” An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent… He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises….”

They want to cause unnecessary divisiveness between the races, between men and women, between the wealthy and the poor, between the workers and the businesses that provide them work, and anything else that will get them votes.
Alinksy devotees are also taught to infiltrate Churches, Unions, and Political Parties. And they have done a good job in the USA.
If pictures are accurate – but also “distressing” to anyone, then they should know that abortion itself is not only “distressing” but
the murder and the torture of one human being
for the convenience of another human being.
Abortion is the biggest civil rights violation that has been perpetrated and sanctioned by the US Supreme Court in history. It advocates killing vs the right of innocent individuals to life.
I think there is no excuse for violence. If the shoe were on the other foot, the professor would say the same. She needs a bit of jail time for assault to temper her violent personality.
Professor Miller-Young is a Tenured Professor paid by our Tax Dollars to pervert your children. What happened to her pregnancy?
Having been personally Targeted, Stalked & Retaliated (via secret back channel ‘old gyrlz’ affirmative actress Gaystapo) against by UC-BS and their ‘community activist’ Twysted Systers & supporting cast of self loathing male feminists – at the Cost of a Career in the Fire Dept…
I can say that not only does UC-BS preach MISANDRY (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity & Normal Heterosexuality) – but it is the Tenure Track there and in much of what passes as Academentia.
The Official Position of UC-BS is that: “Gang Rape represents Normal Male Sexuality, The Abuse of Womyn for Fun.”
The ‘Daily Nexus’ (student newspaper) actually ran a story with a drawing of a Male with a Pig growing out of his forehead – and the caption “I am a Lying Sexist, Cut open my Head, Drag out the Pig, and Butcher It!”
Anyone (as I did) who objects to this or other Misandrist Hate spewed by these tax trough wallowing hate mongers can expect a secret visit to their employers by the Campus Thought Police (real ones, with guns & badges)
– to lodge ‘Official Secret’ complaints against those deemed to have “Written letters to the editor expressing Negative Views on Current Womyn’s Issues”
The ‘apology’ by this twisted system is simply another Allinskyite Mau Mauing pogrom, and we should de-fund all Misandry Based Indoctrination. Ahem.
Consider the following Heavily Censored Story (only the Davis Vanguard ran it) about the Abuse of the System by the Twysted Systerhood – for Fun & Profit
Before this particular Gaystapo Mau Mau Artiste / ‘professor’ was weaned on Misandry (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity & Normal Heterosexuality) – quite a lot of hyr predecessors wallowed at the Tax Subsidy Trough that is Academentia.
For them Hating Men is not just Fun, it also pays well, and you can steal and justify it as reparations for bondage to the hated Hetero-Patriarchy.
“Jail For UC Davis Embezzler
By K. LLOYD BILLINGSLEY CalWatch 6/6/11
Former UC Davis official Jennifer Beeman was sentenced on Thursday to 180 days in jail and five years probation
Beeman Pled no contest to two felony counts of embezzlement and falsifying accounts.
Neither charge involved her falsification of campus sexual assault statistics
Beeman “significantly over-reported the number of forcible sex offenses” For 16 years Beeman headed the UC Davis Campus Violence Prevention Program (CVPP)
UC Davis officials would not tell CalWatchdog whether the university had disciplined or censured Beeman over the falsified statistics. She remained in her job

BTW – Anybody who gets any ‘funny’ ideas about supporting these Pro-Life Teenagers or the causes they (and the Church, at least ostensibly, in parts… Excepting CHINO Nancy Pelosi, Cuomo…) they stand up for…
Remember the Gaystapo Takes No Prisoners – except for those sent to the Political Camps (Kind of like Ernst Rohm’s Homosex Terrorist ‘SA’ Storm Troopers opening Dachau in 1933) for ‘tolerance training’.
Like so called ‘Good Germans’ of that era – it is considered best (at least by said Gaystapo) that they not only remain silent – but Salute the Cause whenever the opportunity arises. They say places like Berlin became so ‘tolerant’ under Rohm’s ‘SA’ that the streets were full of Stiff Arm ‘Heil’ Salutes, and the ones standing out for further inquiry were those that didn’t do it.
As a Proud member of the “Lavender Liberal” Stalkers list published by the forces of ‘tolerance’ after CA Proposition 8 was passed – I am thrilled at the prospect of the Houston Chapter doing the Mozilla Gaystapo Gorilla Stomp on the soon to be Targeted, Stalked & Harassed down there – if only because the good company is so distinguished. Ahem.

Activists publish names of 31,000 Houston citizens who opposed pro-gay ordinance
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/activists-publish-names-of-31000-houston-citizens-who-opposed-pro-gay-ordin?
Backers of a Houston city ordinance banning discrimination based on “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” have published the names of 31,000 pro-family citizens who signed a petition opposing the ordinance because they believed it violated freedom of religion and conscience.
Once again, the anti-Catholic bigots in the California University system are using the MSU system to try to sugar coat evil. The polite version of MSU: Make Stuff Up.
This sick, idiotic lady “feminist bully activist professor” should be fired! There should also be no such thing– as a so-called “Dept. of Feminist Studies” in taxpayer-funded American colleges and universities! Ridiculous! And immoral! Our public colleges and universities should only be giving students a true, honest, traditional education! Let the sick, immoral, liberal “bully activists” form their own schools, and charge tuition– and let the police also keep a close eye on them! They are dangerous!
Thank you for your post Linda Maria.
What is you point in saying she “should” be fired? Regardless of your opinion, she is not going to be fired. Public universities do not operate according to Catholic idealism. Catholics are not going to change public schools by ranting against them. (Heck, we haven’t even succeeded in changing Catholic schools by ranting against them.) Let’s give advice to our own on how to survive within the systems, and on how to oppose those systems when appropriate. Let’s be practical, and meaningful. But thanks for telling us that she should be fired. Now what?
If someone donates money in support of traditional Marriage, they get fired. It is okay for statists to get rid of people for disagreeing with them. On the other hand, they can commit acts of violence with impunity against us and don’t have to worry about getting fired. They are members of the ruling class and can do whatever they want to do to the little people.
The Separatist / Neo-Exterminationist MISANDRY (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity & Normal Heterosexuality) that pervades Academentia like hot air in August, has been promoted by various Icons (like Valerie Solanas – author of the SCUM = Society for Cutting Up Men” Manifesto…
But this Twysted Syster – lays it all out, including the nasty little details:
THE WOMAN WHO THINKS REDUCING THE MALE POPULATION BY 90 PERCENT WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING
https://www.vice.com/read/is-reducing-the-male-population-by-90-percent-the-solution-to-all-our-problems
The Femitheist is a 22-year-old criminology student with a three-year-old. One angry day in 2012 she took to the Internet to outline the brutal concept of International Castration Day…
Her argument was that only through the reduction of the male population to between 1 and 10 percent of their current number we can approach “true equality”.
…Assuming people are down for that, how could you reduce the male population by that much? Are you talking culling or selective breeding over years?
Obviously men comprise a substantial portion of the victims of violent crime and participate heavily in war, so there will always be deaths there—but certainly not culling. I don’t advocate selective slaughter or brutal processes.
So how would you achieve it?
Further research into designer babies will be necessary: manipulating gender or sex, prenatal sex discernment, sex-selective abortions,
development of dual-female progeny (babies created from two mothers), and numerous other mechanisms will be utilised in order to achieve these aspirations.
