Apparently having Washington University dump her as a speaker on a subject that she knows absolutely nothing about has pissed Bristol the Pistol off and she is, dare I say it, GOING ROGUE!
From
Radar Online:
Now Bristol’s lawyer has release this statement to RadarOnline.com, slamming the university and even suggesting the Palin name is the real reason she was dumped.
"Bristol was invited to speak with college students as part of a panel. Evidently she has now been disinvited because of apparent concerns by some vocal members of the undergraduate community,” the statement reads.
“Bristol is deeply disappointed that an institution that publicly claims to "listen to diverse and sometimes conflicting perspectives, to contribute rigorous academic standards and unbiased scholarship to discussions, and to encourage a civil discourse in which a pluralistic society can respectfully address complex and difficult issues" would withdraw an invitation to a speaker because of "uproar" over their assumed content of her message or even worse, because of her last name."
Further down the page on the Radar Online post they go into more detail about how Bristol came to be considered for the position and why they ultimately decided to let her go. Here is a hint: It did NOT have anything to do with her name, and everything to do with how much money she was being paid and why.
Which by the way closely echoes the reasons provided to me in an e-mail that I received earlier today from one of the professors at that very same University.
I enjoy your blog very much and am an avid follower. I don't know if you have been following this story, but Bristol Palin was first invited to speak on abstinence at Washington University's "Sex Week" by student representatives. The ensuing uproar by the student body resulted in a cancellation of this appearance. Wash. U. is a fairly liberal institution. But the students were not so much opposed to her viewpoint, but rather to her lack of expertise and the high cost she is charging.
So you see Bristol dumping your ass had NOTHING to do with hatred for your mother, and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that you are too unqualified to know what in the hell you are talking about. But of course since you ARE your mother's daughter you simply cannot resist playing the victim card, can you?
Welcome to the world of academia little cub, where the standards are just a wee bit higher than they are in Wasilla, Alaska.
