Cornell student says Fox appearance led to campus harassment | New York Post
' This becomes a disadvantage for college students as the entire point is to learn about various ideas.”'
'Last year Cornell University undergraduate Neetu Chandak appeared on “Fox and Friends” to share her objection to a course description that seemed overly critical of President Donald Trump while glorifying former President Barack Obama. '
'Chandak, who won Miss Upstate New York’s Outstanding Teen in 2013, and was crowned Miss Seneca Falls in 2016, now is a senior. '
'She said she was made to feel afraid even to go to class, and she considered taking online courses.“Considering that Cornell University’s College Republicans president was physically assaulted right after Trump was elected — shoved to the ground and called a ‘racist bitch’ — threats around here are no joke,” she said. '
'A campus newspaper, the Cornell Sun, even did a story about her appearance, and quoted college Republicans saying that while the wording of the course description seemed skewed toward Obama and liberalism, they believed the professor would have welcomed other viewpoints.“From my situation, many found it acceptable to be hateful toward me because they perceived me as hateful,” she said. “What hypocrisy.”Chandak bemoaned the chilling effect condemnation of conservative views has on college campuses, and said all students are robbed of broader perspectives.“I am not alone in my struggle,” she said. “Many people holding views similar to mine will likely not express their beliefs in the classroom or on campus out of fear of facing the isolation and threats I faced.
