Autistic Bullied at Skepticon 8

Post Reply New Topic

Mark Schierbecker, the journalism student assaulted by Professor Click and a student mob at Missouri University last week when he was filming the protests, is autistic.

You can watch an interview with him here:

Mark was invited to Skepticon 8, a supposedly sceptical event recently taken over by ideologues, to talk about the protests. The organisers were aware of his condition as well as his lack of experience as a public speaker. Nevertheless he was bullied into confessing his 'privilege' on stage and he has been subjected to an online hate campaign by Skepchicks.

Mark deserves our support.

I don't condone assault or hate campaigns but until it has been made more clear what happened, I will be withholding my support.

Here is the video of the confrontation between Mark in that horrible teacher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcddEFbXDEs

I honestly never liked teachers, especially in public schools because they can be very arrogant and rude and they often provoked meltdowns out of me by allowing bullies to beat me up and then punishing me literally for being the victim of bullying.

Usually if a bully and a victim get into a fight, both the bully and the person who was defending themselves are punished, however in my case it was completely different as the bully got away Scott free, while I was punished essentially for being beat up and after I confronted the teacher and became rude to her rightfully for how she treated me, I was also punished for my confrontational attitude with my teachers. I often shouted and cursed out teachers after they wrongfully punished me and I knew it was wrong what they did because they saw exactly what happened.

In the second video, you will see the skepticon8 video and when Mark reveal that he had autism and that he will cry for 10 minutes when he goes up to his room, the tea in i and when Mark revealed that he had autism and that he will probably cry for 10 minutes when he goes up to his room, A girl said, "boo-hoo white tears stop it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfXKQyHuleA To see that part listen from the 110:0 minute point to the 112:00 minute point to see a very dumb and ignorant girl try to tell it from the teachers side and then her response when he announced he has autism, disgusting!
