Specifically, lines like:

“At a particularly tense moment in the meeting, Britton likens discussing abortion to allowing a hate group on campus.”
“Flokstra’s professors attempt to couch offensive recommendations with an “I’m on your side” attitude”
“Flokstra was told discussing abortion is like a UFV KKK club.”
“Flokstra cried as she recounted being told by Sivia to “put my Christian identity aside and put my teacher identity on top of that.”

Though this specific allegation cannot be independently verified

This is a lot of subjective spin, a lot of it isn’t even said, it’s a blogger’s slant.

Not a big deal, but just hard to get a decent perspective of what actually went on, especially because the audio is incomplete and the 8 minutes out of 60 that was posted isn’t nearly as bad as the article presents it as.
