Woke students want Kyle Rittenhouse kicked out of ASU
2021-11-29
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse earlier this month, a student organization at Arizona State University is calling upon campus leadership to expel the acquitted teen, claiming he is a "racist" and "blood-thirsty murderer."

Political student organization MECHA de ASU
... they used to write it MEChA for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan, but accuracy clearly is no longer important in these degenerate times. Yet another race-based Communist organization hoping for the success of the Black Panthers. The first chapter formed at a conference in Santa Barbara in 1967, by 2012 there were more than 500 including both college and high school chapters...
posted a list of demands to their Instagram on Friday, calling for campus leadership to "withdraw" Rittenhouse from the university, to issue a statement against "white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
," and to defund their campus police in order to redirect funding to the multicultural center.

The organization's four demands are as follows: "Withdraw Kyle Rittenhouse from ASU," "Release a statement against white supremacy and racist murderer Kyle Rittenhouse," "Reaffirm support for the multicultural center on campus as a space safe from white supremacy," and "Redirect funding from ASU PD to support the multicultural center and establishment of a CAARE Center on campus."

MECHA de ASU is a Chicano-centered organization for students on ASU's campus. According to the group's GoFundMe page set up for general funding for the student organization, "Our work is toward empowering our community in order to liberate colonized people. Our values are rooted in anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-heteropatriarchy, antiracism."

"Even with a not-guilt verdict from a flawed 'justice' system — Kyle Rittenhouse is still guilty to his victims and the families of those victims," the group continued in its demands post on Instagram. "Join us to demand from ASU that these demands be met to protect students from a violent mostly peaceful, blood-thirsty murderer."

The organization is holding a rally on campus on Dec. 1 regarding these demands.
