More Tales from the Meltdown of the Academy

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/...feeling-unsafe-after-milo-yiannopoulos-event/

"The reactions of students over a non-compulsory and extracurricular event featuring a gay journalist expressing a difference of opinion are a worrying sign that academia is failing. These are students who are legal adults and on the cusp of entering the real world, yet they’re in tears over the fact that someone, who they need not even listen to, disagreed with them.

University is no longer a place for new ideas, discussion, and intellectual debate. It is a place of safe spaces, no platforming, and trigger warnings. Students are taught to believe and agree with a single narrative and doctrine, turning them into narrow-minded and unchallenged pawns, with any form of resistance or difference of thought being classified as hate speech."


Maybe this will help us get a new basketball coach, though.

Unsafe is Syria. It might be time for anyone graduating high school to go into the peace corps or any other program where they can walk in someone else's shoes. On the flip side politically and socially we have too much of the population going into extreme corners. There is not one good thing that will be accomplished by going to extremes, just more resentment and hate. We used to use reason and debate to reach resolution now it is just dogma of all types.

I was really hoping that was satire. That kind of liberalism is killing this country. Don't like what's being said? Get offended! Demand everyone play by your rules or you'll cry by gawd.

Opinions are traumatizing? GTFOH. This crap is completely out of control.

LImbaugh talked about this today. He said the Trump Phenomenon is the Cork Popping After Years of Political Correctness.

Long but good explanation of what many people believe.

Token Liberrarian Girl has a similar take. I agree it's a big factor.

Geezus. Liberals have become the greatest pussies in all of history. Words "hurt" them. This country is screwed.

Careful there, just because they're pussies, screwing 'em isn't an option....you know, they're sensitive little darlin's.

 

[windriverrange]

IN 2014 Emory had approximately 14,700 students, believing it is about the same today and understanding that something like 40 students showed up, that means a whopping .002% of the shit for brains students were offended. They need Al Pacino to address the assembled students.......

What a sad state of affairs that these supposed adults don't try to toughen this little cupcakes up and remind them that that can't (and won't) always get their way.

 

[Medic007]

BUT THEY FEEL UNSAFE!!!! UNSAAAAAAAAAFE!!!!

 

[Bitter Creek]

When I was their age, it wasn't cool to let anyone know that you were afraid, soft, offended or needed comfort.

I am starting to feel like a survivor from a harsher time.

Three things:
- That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.
- Jeff Tucker is no Libertarian.
- Fear is a good thing.

 

[Medic007]

No wonder liberals are so scared of guns. Words written in chalk make them afraid so now it all makes sense.

I would be embarrassed if any of my kids were one of those expressing fear. My youngest daughter has more backbone than that.

This seems like something that would scare the cupster.

Hell, if they would have used a sharpie, the simpletons probably would have pissed themselves.

 

[JimmyBob]

The obvious solution is an executive order from the rodent immediately banning chalk on all campuses, household driveways, and anywhere else some pussy might be offended. Hell, he can appoint a chalk czar, expand the role of government, require registration and background checks for all chalk buyers.

An amoeba has more backbone than those "educated" people who run our universities. The lunacy increased when they said they would have grief counselors available for those traumatized pussies.

I agree. My point on fear was not meant to be specifically related to this situation but was about the fact that colleges are sheltering kids so they don't face fear.

This post is one of the best I've ever read. I can't stop laughing.

The main problem isn't the colleges sheltering these pussies since the colleges are run by pussies; a better question, WhoTF parented these squirrels and why were they raised as douche-bags?

Millennials are quite the vocal proponents of Sanders' socialism...then they find their "oh shit moment" when they get jobs and start paying the taxes required to pay for the giant giveaway.

The expanded social welfare state Sanders thinks the United States should adopt requires everyday people to pay considerably more in taxes. Yet millennials become averse to social welfare spending if they foot the bill. As they reach the threshold of earning $40,000 to $60,000 a year, the majority of millennials come to oppose income redistribution, including raising taxes to increase financial assistance to the poor.

Similarly, a Reason-Rupe poll found that while millennials still on their parents' health insurance policies supported the idea of paying higher premiums to help cover the uninsured (57 percent), support flipped among millennials paying for their own health insurance with 59 percent opposed to higher premiums.

When tax rates are not explicit, millennials say they'd prefer larger government offering more services (54 percent) to smaller government offering fewer services (43 percent). However when larger government offering more services is described as requiring high taxes, support flips and 57 percent of millennials opt for smaller government with fewer services and low taxes, while 41 percent prefer large government.

Here is a statement that might be completely wrong but just on observation, Peraza looks like one of the pillow biting liberal scum that got the CEO of Modzilla fired.

This is an appropriate response to the snowflakers. I wonder how proud syskatine and CCup are of their fellow liberal fairies.

You see how Ohio State administrators handled business the other day?

Kudos to them.

What gets me is that nobody else seems prepared to have a calm, straight-forward conversation such as that AT THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION LEVEL.

The Stanford Review Demands Change


Stanford University has repeatedly failed to address systematic issues on campus. We, the Students of the Stanford Review, have seen our voices silenced, our rights trampled, and our experiences ignored. Not once has an administrator inquired as to the relative health of our feelings – the system is broken! We, the Students of the Stanford Review, DEMAND change.

1. WE DEMAND that Stanford builds a wall around El Centro Chicano, and makes MEChA pay for it.
2. WE DEMAND that Stanford expels Panda Express from campus, since its food is culturally appropriative, and celebrates the harvesting of the endangered panda bear.
3. WE DEMAND that Stanford renames White Plaza to Black Plaza. Naming a central plaza after a race is hateful.
4. WE DEMAND that Stanford recognizes that half-lives matter, and establishes a committee to fund the Chemistry and Physics Departments accordingly.
5. WE DEMAND that Stanford’s Classics Department end its disgusting and exploitative profiteering off the lived experiences of ancient Greeks and Romans.
6. WE DEMAND that swimming pools be abolished at Stanford, since their blueness shows implicit support for the Israeli flag, further dehumanizing the Palestinian people.
7. We DEMAND that Stanford ends its use of European languages, since they are inherently colonialist. We recommend Xhosa, Zulu, and interpretive dance as alternatives for person-to-person communication.
8. WE DEMAND that Stanford’s Applied Quantitative Reasoning requirement not be fulfilled by cis-linear algebra. The experiences of marginalized matrices have been ignored for too long.
9. WE DEMAND the banning of the Stanford Federal Credit Union from campus, since all debt is alienating and shackles people to the capitalist machine. Also, people use their SFCU debit cards to purchase food from the aforementioned, oppressive Panda Express.
10. WE DEMAND that Hoover Tower be removed, since its phallic symbolism is not countered by a suitably feminist building on campus.
11. WE DEMAND that the Math Department immediately cease reducing fractions, each having their own unique identities and experiences, to their lowest common denominators.
12. WE DEMAND that Stanford base grades only on attendance records in class, since all other measures are discriminatory, as SAL already nobly recognizes.
13. WE DEMAND that Stanford remove the clearly ageist language in “Old” Union. From now on, the Review will meet in Union 215 on Monday nights.
14. WE DEMAND that Stanford bans hard alcohol in dorms.
15. WE DEMAND that the Administration immediately accepts the aforementioned demands, and that a statement of acceptance, a timetable of implementation for each demand, and an administrative point person for each demand be presented to the Review at 3 PM on Friday April 8, in open forum at Buffalo Wild Wings, San Jose.

Cool video.....but I'm thinking the Family Policy Institute of Washington is still reeling over the Supreme Court's 1967 Loving vs. Virginia decision on interracial marriage and all these poor mixed race babies running around America.
