More Media Pick up the Morgan Bettinger Story

TJC Article
Written By James Bacon

The tragic tale of Morgan Bettinger's abuse at the hands of a Twitter Outrage Mob and the subsequent failure of the University of Virginia's judicial processes continue to garner national attention.

Last week The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal covered the story in "A 'Canceled' Student Strikes Back."

Referring to Bettinger's lawsuit against the University of Virginia, author Graham Hillier writes: "To read that complaint now is to come face-to-face with the human cost of the guilty-until-proven-innocent 'justice' now common on American campuses."

National Review quotes the Martin Center article in a brief post headlined, UVA Student Maligned by Her University Seeks Justice.

James Bacon

After a 25-year career in Virginia journalism, James A. Bacon founded Bacon’s Rebellion in 2002 a blog with the goal of “Reinventing Virginia for the 21st Century.” Its focus is on building more prosperous, livable and sustainable communities. In recent years he has concentrated more on the spread of “woke” ideology in K-12 schools, the criminal justice system, higher education, and medicine.

In 2021, he co-founded The Jefferson Council to preserve free speech, intellectual diversity, and the Jeffersonian legacy at his alma mater the University of Virginia. He previously served as the organization’s executive director, now serving as congributing editor.

Aside from blogging, Bacon writes books. His first was Boomergeddon: How Runaway Deficits Will Bankrupt the Country and Ruin Retirement for Aging Baby Boomers — And What You Can Do About It, followed by Maverick Miner: How E. Morgan Massey Became a Coal Industry Legend and a work of science fiction, Dust Mites: the Siege of Airlock Three.

A Virginian through-and-through, Bacon lives in Richmond with his wife Laura.
