That school problem in Missouri that forced the resignation of the president and chancellor is already spreading. Thats what happens when you let a small group of big mouth disgruntled people push their agenda on everybody .
A college in upstate NY (Ithaca) is now having demonstrations by the usual malcontents, they want resignations . By the usual malcontents I mean sons and daughters of obunghole and other ultra-liberal pukes. You cannot give these people a inch or they will not just take a foot they will go for miles.
Those blacks doing this shit are definitely not happy with much in this country. They get so much just given to them and of course want more. I do not know when its going to happen but one of these days people are going to say enough is enough.
Student petition asks Vanderbilt to suspend conservative professor | WKRN News 2 (http://wkrn.com/2015/11/09/student-petition-asks-vanderbilt-to-suspend-conservative-professor/)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – An online petition asking Vanderbilt University to suspend a professor has received more than one thousand signatures.
Students started the petition on Change.org in response to online comments by Carol Swain, a Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University.
On her YouTube channel and social media, Swain has openly criticized Islam, the LGBT community, liberals and others.
The petition accuses Swain of expressing hatred towards minorities.
“Although Ms. Swain is free to speak openly and have her own views, no matter how disagreeable they may be, it is generally unprofessional to attach your job title to a channel promoting your personally held beliefs,” the petition says. “Keeping personal beliefs and University-endorsed statements separate is crucial to maintaining the integrity of Vanderbilt’s values.”
“I post articles likely to be of interest to Christian conservatives,” Swain told News 2 by phone Monday.
Swain said some students have become brainwashed and believe that only one opinion is valid.
“I think they’re sad and pathetic, in the sense that they’re college students and they should be open to hearing more than one viewpoint,” said Swain.
The petition, which also suggests the professor undergo diversity training, had more than 1,100 signatures as of Monday night.

Oh, so someone doesn't share the same views so they must be forced to leave. Got it, right.
Edit:
I keep looking at this and giggling. The lady is a Professor of Law/Political Science. With that said, I believe she knows what to say and where.

Take away their free "entitlements" and send them packing. There's plenty of kids out there that would be grateful for an education.

U of L's president is under fire, too.
Faculty members circulate letter about U of L President's controversial Halloween costume
Posted: Nov 02, 2015 9:25 PM EST
Updated: Nov 02, 2015 10:00 PM EST
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- There's more fallout from a photo of University of Louisville President James Ramsey and his staff that appeared in the Courier Journal last week.
The picture shows Ramsey wearing a sombrero and a poncho. Those around him are also dressed in stereotypical Mexican garb.
Some are calling the Halloween costume racist and the photo prompted a protest outside Ramsey's office Friday.
Now, some senior U of L faculty members are also voicing their concerns.
"It does show some racial insensitivity that needs to be spoken to," said Pan-African Studies Department Chair Ricky Jones.
Jones has signed onto an open letter to Ramsey about the situation.
It says in part, "We can only wonder how it could not even have occurred to anyone that offense would be taken and that such behavior would contribute to the marginalization of Latinos/Latinas."
Jones says the photo shows a serious need for more diversity among U of L staff and faculty.
"I'm sure if you have a culturally conscious Hispanic person who's on the president's staff, he or she would have stepped forward and said, 'Hey, ya know, something's wrong with this,'" Jones told WDRB News.
The letter has been sent to other faculty members to sign.
"I think the bigger goal is to address it. To understand what the climate at the university is. To understand that things like this are not acceptable," Jones said when asked about the goal of this effort.
The letter goes onto say, "...this latest incident is only one of a drumbeat of crises that have embarrassed the university and made many ashamed to be associated with it."
It ends by asking Ramsey to describe how his office will fix the "unacceptable situation."
"I'm not one that believes we just try to skewer the leadership," Jones said. "We try to help them along if they're open to being helped. We have a crisis of leadership right now so we'll see where we go."
U of L Philosophy Professor Avery Kolers, the primary author of the letter, send us this statement:
"First off, outrage and frustration at not only this incident but at the pattern that it represents. As the letter's final paragraph emphasizes, this pattern of scandals and misjudgments has overshadowed years of hard work to raise U of L's profile and standing, and the value of a U of L degree, and we want it to stop.
Second, a number of faculty wanted to express *general* faculty support for those who had already stuck out their necks under a particular description (e.g., Hispanic and Latin@ faculty who had issued a statement, and the students who briefly occupied Grawemeyer Hall) and who might be vulnerable as a result. On the principle that there is safety in numbers, we thought it was important not to leave anyone vulnerable to retaliation.
Third, we thought that the harm of the photo went beyond the bare idea that some might take offense, and the misjudgment has nothing to do with the lack of intent to harm or offend. So it was important to explain why the lack of intent is not exculpatory. (If anything, it makes things worse.)"
Professor Tracy K'Meyer, who also signed onto the letter, sent us this statement:
"I found the administration's response to this incident completely inadequate. When Kathleen Smith addressed her boiler plate apology only to Hispanic and Latino members of the community I thought it was important for non-Latinos to say the President's brown face minstrel show was offensive to all who care about cultural respect. When President Ramsey released his own short note on Friday I wanted to add my voice to a call for him to explain himself more thoroughly. The intensifying media attention convinced me that this incident resulted from an absolute failure of leadership that has negatively affected the entire university, and so I wanted to help to provide a channel for a joint response. The note only went out late in the day so I do not know yet what the response has been."
Ramsey did issue an apology about the costume.
His chief of staff said in a separate apology the president's office will start training on diversity issues.

The uproar at Yale over Halloween costumes is the most preposterous one of all.

More on the farce going on at Yale
Nov. 9, 2015 7:31 p.m. ET

Someone at Yale University should have dressed up as Robespierre for Halloween, as its students seem to have lost their minds over what constitutes a culturally appropriate costume. Identity and grievance politics keeps hitting new lows on campus, and now even liberal professors are being consumed by the revolution.
On Oct. 28 Yale Dean Burgwell Howard and Yale’s Intercultural Affairs Committee blasted out an email advising students against “culturally unaware” Halloween costumes, with self-help questions such as: “If this costume is meant to be historical, does it further misinformation or historical and cultural inaccuracies?” Watch out for insensitivity toward “religious beliefs, Native American/Indigenous people, Socio-economic strata, Asians, Hispanic/Latino, Women, Muslims, etc.” In short, everyone.
Who knew Yale still employed anyone willing to doubt the costume wardens? But in response to the dean’s email, lecturer in early childhood education Erika Christakis mused to the student residential community she oversees with her husband, Nicholas, a Yale sociologist and physician: “I don’t wish to trivialize genuine concerns,” but she wondered if colleges had morphed into “places of censure and prohibition.”
And: “Nicholas says, if you don’t like a costume someone is wearing, look away, or tell them you are offended. Talk to each other. Free speech and the ability to tolerate offence are the hallmarks of a free and open society.”
Some 750 Yale students, faculty, alumni and others signed a letter saying Ms. Christakis’s “jarring” email served to “further degrade marginalized people,” as though someone with a Yale degree could be marginalized in America. Students culturally appropriated a Puritan shaming trial and encircled Mr. Christakis on a lawn, cursing and heckling him to quit. “I stand behind free speech,” he told the mob.
Hundreds of protesters also turned on Jonathan Holloway, Yale’s black dean, demanding to know why the school hadn’t addressed allegations that a black woman had been kept out of a fraternity party. Fragile scholars also melted down over a visiting speaker who made a joke about Yale’s fracas while talking at a conference sponsored by the school’s William F. Buckley, Jr. program focused on . . . the future of free speech.
The episode reminds us of when Yale alumnus Lee Bass in 1995 asked the university to return his $20 million donation. Mr. Bass had hoped to seed a curriculum in Western civilization, but Yale’s faculty ripped the idea as white imperialism, and he requested a refund. Two decades later the alternative to Western civilization is on display, and it seems to be censorship.
According to a student reporting for the Washington Post, Yale president Peter Salovey told minority students in response to the episode that “we failed you.” That’s true, though not how he means it. The failure is that elite colleges are turning out ostensible leaders who seem to have no idea why America’s Founders risked extreme discomfort—that is, death—for the right to speak freely.Yale?s Little Robespierres - WSJ (http://www.wsj.com/articles/yales-little-robespierres-1447115476)

And remember, that is in addition to a free education - she wants $15/hr while working on campus.
But how about guaranteed employment after their free education, and a 6 figure starting salary. Surely they are worth it after their free education.

Put it this way, age 71 here, put a .45 auto under my car seat on many a date in Wash DC back in the later 60's....5500 lbs of posi track Pontiac, automatic and ~500 ft lbs at the crank.....I need not have CARED, and did NOT at the time about what they brought in my path, and if some crowd came around my car...I had 3 mags total....not a good as a Glock, but it was what was at the time....got lucky me/dates were fine......
talk of a krazy time.....look up William Dean Christianson (en?) and see what pops up.....nucking FUTZ.....
I tell you all what, the stories of my getting older and spending time in the WASH DC region for 53 years would make a pretty thick and funny and tragic book.....but I not up for typing it all out....
No one reading it anyway, because it would be written by a guy that makes Uncle Barry Goldwater look like a communist.....

I'm sure the campus police were afraid to intervene, for fear of losing their jobs. Those idiots ruined a homecoming parade, that is supposed to be a source of pride and enjoyment for ALL students, past, present, and future. I'm sure the little kids watching that were somewhat traumatized.

You and me both brother. I think it is just an indicator of how far down the toilet we really are. At this point, I'm not even sure where to lay the blame, but an educated guess puts it squarely on pandering politicians who aren't worth burning at the stake. If these assholes are so unhappy in Murica, THEN LEAVE. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life tip toeing on glass as to not offend anyone. If I offend someone, tough shit, get over it. I think I still live in America and have first amendment rights, but maybe that's debatable at this point. Everyone wants something handed to them on a silver platter without any effort on their part, and if their wittle feeewings get hurt then everyone has hell to pay. How in the hell did we digress so far in the last 40 years??? WTFO??:sadangel:

Didn't you listen to the interview? Mommy and Daddy are already on welfare. If I was on welfare, I'd be embarrassed as Hell, and wouldn't want anyone to know it. Her parents, on the other hand, seem to be proud of it, and they instilled that attitude in the girl. The apple fell right under the tree.
