The Saga Continues…
This is the story of Superman, bisexual. More precisely, “Jon Kent” — the latest iteration of the Man of Steel — might be doing just fine in his new “skin” but for us non-residents of Metropolis, all hell continues to break loose — which is both hilarious and ridiculous, depending on which side one finds him or herself.
Toss in “insensitive” Sophia Nelson, a Scholar-in-Residence at Christopher Newport University in Virginia (CNU), who blasted the new (and definitely not improved) Superman, “outraged” students, and a weasely university president prostrating himself before the snowflake students, and we’re talking full-metal hell.
The Blaze reports that Nelson set off the madness with an now-deleted Tweet.
” Smdh. I don’t get why this is necessary. I don’t! What if Christian parents of children reading comic books don’t want their kids exposed to bi-sexual characters? These are being encouraged on the children. This is why parents need to explain. Most cannot!”
It’s not good Ms. Nelson. We mustn’t dropTruth on the left — particularly on left-wing snowflakes.

Like clockwork, students within the LGBTQ community, as well as allies and professors, gathered on Monday, as reported by WTKR-TV, to “raise awareness, ask for more visibility, equity, and for their voices to be heard.” They say they are hurt and offended by Nelson’s comments, and many are asking for the university to fire her.
“How does it make you feel? Is it enough to evoke change?” said one student from a megaphone.
“We will keep fighting for our rights. Our rights are human rights,” yelled another student on the campus’s Great Lawn.
“I felt outraged because representation is such a huge thing,” said junior Fern Stockton. “I thought it was huge for one of the characters to be bisexual.”
One butt-hur outraged student — sophomore Abigail Honeycutt — told WTKR that Nelson’s comments proved CNU is “not a community of excellence.”
“Reading her tweet, we felt uncomfortable and scared in a place we are supposed to call our home I was sad and angry, and I would want the university to publicly denounce her actions. It’s not what we stand for. It’s not a community of excellence.”
Behold the “homophobic, bi-phobic, whatever-phobic” Scholar-in-Residence, the evil Sophia Nelson.

Paul Trible, President of Christopher Newport University, folded like a lawn chair and prostrated himself before cancel-culture altar. He then released a lengthy statement promising to alter CNU policies. Per The Blaze
Christopher Newport values diversity, equity, and inclusion. The University has a strong statement on this topic. This statement is the core of our identity.
Freedom of speech is also important to us and we have made a strong statement. Upholding that freedom is most important when it is hard – when ideas conflict and opinions differ fiercely. It is crucial that we fulfill both these university obligations in this moment.
Trible said Nelson would be brought to the campus (summoned, as it were, to a CNU witch hunt) “in order to have an open dialogue about her beliefs with the students she hurt with a tweet.”
This will give her the chance to express who she really is and what her opinions and views are. She will discuss why she wrote what she did on Twitter. We’ll listen. And we will share our views, opinions, and hearts – the pain, the anger, and the questions.
She will listen. She will discover what it means for her to be a member of this communityWe will. While everyone may disagree, we are here to support LGBTQ+ colleagues and students. We will listen and discuss. Together, learn to be Different [Meaning, keep your mouth shut and your thoughts to yourself if you disagree with the radical left.]
Unlike the spineless university president, Nelson stood up for not only herself; she also stood up for freedom of speech — Freedom of thought — and against the insanity of cancel-culture bullcrap.
It is a cannibalization of one another using #CancelCulture. Or I will promise that America in ten years or less will not be America. It’s bullying. They’re mean and nasty bullies. They are apathetic with their words and full of hatred.
There is no reason to bully another person because they have made mistakes, misspoke or were simply being human.
The wave is coming. The movement of tired and sick Americans. Tired of being bullied and canceled for our beliefs and values.
(Nelson has restricted her tweets, which now generate the familiar Twitter message: “You’re unable to view this tweet because this account owner limits who can view their tweets.”) Cheerled by CNN and MSNBC.
I found it difficult to write this familiar article. We see this kind of ridiculous crap on a regular basis; someone says something — usually innocuous — that sets off the cancel-culture-riddled left, who in turn lose their crap in fits of hyperbolic hysteria — and the band plays on. Yet, there is also a responsibility I feel to bring attention to such ridiculousness when I am able.
People like Sophia Nelson should be defended at every opportunity; fools like the “uncomfortable and scared” students of Christopher Newport University and the school’s pathetic president should be exposed for what they are — as often as possible.
Cancel-culture is unacceptable. This must be dealt with.
