Yale student screaming at professor for not providing safe space

[FerrelGeek]

And having gotten away with this, it's only going to get worse. Liberalism has created a monster and is rapidly losing control of it. Enjoy what you have wrought.

As expected, stupidity reigns supreme in the Missouri case:

Now waiting for the inevitable report of what punishment is being handed down to the Yale professor.

They caved.

Indeed he caved - but he is kinda... "Calling them out". Except in the end he says "I take full responsibility". That's where he went into stupid mode.

I am sure no in Columbia, MO will ever use a racial slur again, or graffiti a bathroom wall with something offensive.

I am for one am glad the SJWs have taken down yet another innocent person. Although I guess in their eyes, he was white and in the south, therefore he must be racist.

Here's the list of demands from the protesters.

Want to create racial divide? Sure! Just make ridiculous demands like "YOU MUST hire black people over other more qualified people. Even when they don't exist"

Brilliant Watson!

I liked to one that required Wolfe to publicly admit to his white male privilege.

no surprise. American academia is all about liberal grievance mongering and creating hordes of pseudo victims. So now the liberal grievance mongers have come home to roost. Next they will want to be paid to go to school and live there aeternam. Yet another shining example that Liberal Lies Matter.

we could start a mandatory military service program like some other countries do

You would take someone with no concept of the real world and throw them in the military?

Society and schools need to stop with the feel good, oh what about my feelings attitude.

A student got their feelings hurt, so what? How are they going to make it in the real world?

I am sure more than a few white hipsters would do it.

You know even as a white, middle-aged male, I get yelled at and honked at all the time when I am walking along a major road. Even in the great conservative city of Seattle. Mostly non-racial but a lot of other rude and offensive things, although I've had a few racial slurs yelled at me a few times. I've just realized that there are a lot of assholes in the world, and there isn't a lot you can do about it. I didn't realize I could have called for the mayor of Seattle to step down and apologize to me.

I happen to agree with you. Unfortunately, you are the same guy who posted a thread about "finding closure" with a high school teacher who hurt your feelings 27 years ago, so I guess this is a "do as I say, not as I do" situation.

No, but there was one dumbass going on a hunger strike.

Also, doing something like not playing a football game could very much screw up the school. If they don't have their game and generate needed revenue, it can very much fuck up the entire program.

Personally, I would say fuck it I guess we're having a shitty football team this year. Tell all the kids they are expelled - all their scholarships have been revoked and bring forward anyone that wants to play football can join that year.

Anyone that immediately says their regret and remorse that was previously on-strike can come back within the first week if they apologize publicly for wasting everyones time and resources.

Kind of interesting it took the football team to boycott a game for the University to move on the issue. Money really does talk.

 

[momeNt]

You got a problem bro?

 

[Ancalagon44]

Universities used to be a place where you could find dissent from the norms. Students not afraid to stand up for their views, to protest, to fight for them, even if they were unpopular.

I went to a little university in South Africa called Rhodes University. I'm sure most of you know South Africa's apartheid history. Rhodes University had and still has large steel gates that could be shut to protect their university. These were used in the apartheid days to protect the university from students protesting against apartheid.

One person said to me - You know that they are taking a protest seriously when they shut those gates. I never saw them get shut.

Anyway, my point is that universities used to be a place where unpopular views could be aired freely, to be debated and improved. Imagine if somebody aired an unpopular opinion at this university? The student body would be horrified. They would demand a trigger warning. They would lay assault allegations. They demand not be offended, they demand not to learn or be challenged. They demand to leave university exactly as they had entered it - ignorantly blissful.

In fact, its highly ironic that students at some of the top universities in the world go on about privilege and how privileged white males are. The tuition that each student pays could purchase a house in many third world countries.

I just find it hilarious that a person who spends more on tuition in one year than a lot of adults in third world countries earn, goes on about how much more privileged a white male is than them.

EDIT:

It is a pity that Halloween is over. I would have loved to dress up in the most outlandlishly offensive costume I could possibly think of. Maybe a black gay Adolf Hitler (with blackface because I am white). And chase people who were offended by that, just to make them confront the very thing that offends them. Hey, maybe they could act like normal adults and tell me it offends them, rather than appeal to the Authorities to ban anything offensive.

Meh, I'll still take a generation that's overly impassioned for the consideration of others vs. a generation defending willful inconsideration regardless if the arguments are loudly shouted or well written. And that email reaks of being written by someone who never encountered a Halloween costume that's a caricature of herself.

What do you mean "others"? Are you some kind of xenophobe? Can't you use more inclusive and less triggering language?

 

[FerrelGeek]

In a sane world, yes. In the new reality, the BLM rent-a-rioters would have descended on the university and burned it to the ground, because racism, white tyranny, etc. This university got kudos a year or 2 ago for how they handled an openly gay football player and now look where things have come.

So libs, how do you like the world you've created? I have to admit, I'm getting a certain sense of schadenfreude over all this. Hope you love the world you've helped create.

There is a South Park where Cartman dresses up like Hitler for Halloween a teacher didn't like his costume so she put a sheet over him to make him look like a spooky ghost, unfortunately he now looks like a clan guy. Chef pulls off the ghost costume and a mini Hitler is standing in front of him. Someone help me with what episode this is please.

Found a really good article on The Atlantic about the dangers of our increasingly coddled student base.

Awesome article. In essence today's kids and teens and young adults are a bunch of wankers. This is what we have known for a while, and it's not merely ragging on earlier generations; they are demonstrably wussies. Every Halloween we receive a stark reminder of it, as we see every kid being chaperoned by parents, even though it is in a small neighborhood that never has crime.

It's kind of delightful in a way because the college attitude that helped foment this complete lack of self-esteem is now being eaten by it.

For what it's worth, Yale is actually a haven for conservatives. They have one of the largest college Republican groups and is the alma mater of guys like GWB.

Maybe you can draw a feces swastika somewhere?

Are you insinuating that these complaints are coming from conservatives? If so, why? If not, why bring this up?

 

[adamantine.me]

So I must have missed the memo: what was the costume that started the whole thing?

I felt very uncomfortable just watching that prof try to speak for himself surrounded by that mob.
