Remember the moonbat professor that led her students to destroy crosses from a pro-life display? Well, thankfully she is now facing criminal charges along with the students that participated.

    A professor and six students at Northern Kentucky University were charged Wednesday with misdemeanors related to the April 12 destruction of an anti-abortion display on campus.
    Sally Jacobsen of the literature and language department, has been charged with criminal mischief, theft by unlawful taking and criminal solicitation. The third charge relates to evidence that she encouraged students to participate in the destruction, County Attorney Justin Verst said.

    The six students, who range in age from 21 to 27, were charged with criminal mischief and theft by unlawful taking.

    The theft charge is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $500 fine.

    The criminal mischief and solicitation charges are class B misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $250 fine.

    Verst said additional students might be charged as their identities become known.

    Four hundred crosses representing aborted fetuses were pulled from the ground and thrown in trash cans around campus.

    A sign explaining the temporary display, which had been approved by university officials as an expression of free speech, was also removed.

    Jacobsen told reporters that she had “invited” students in her graduate-level British literature course to exercise free-speech by destroying the display.

    She said she was offended by the simulated cemetery, which she considered intimidating and harmful to women who might be considering abortions. NKU’s campus newspaper, the Northerner, published photos of Jacobsen dismantling part of the display.

    Since the incident became public, NKU’s president has received hundreds of e-mails from throughout the country condemning the professor’s actions. She was placed on leave last week, and substitutes were assigned to her classes for the rest of the semester…

Sadly, too many people are thinking they have a right not to be offended, even to the point of infringing upon the free speech rights of others. I’m offended by abortion, but you can bet if someone attempted to do something similar to pro-choice demonstrators that the ACLU would be there full force. The ACLU are absent in this case, but thankfully there are clear headed people that are filing these charges. She was recently fired, and now it looks like she will face criminal charges.

    Let’s not do that. Let Jacobsen keep her position. Encourage her to do more of the same. Give her ample media coverage. She is far more valuable to the pro-life movement where she is, because her intolerance toward those who hold a different opinion and her willingness to destroy the property of others instead of engaging in meaningful debate expose abortion rights advocates for what they are.

Good point. All Pro-life demonstrators should be equipped with video cameras, because there is a lot more of this kind of monbattiness that takes place around the nation.
