Via Pundit Press:
Johns Hopkins University has banned Chick-fil-A from its campus saying that the restaurant is a “microaggression” against its students.
In an 18-8 vote, the Student Government Association at Johns Hopkins voted not to “support the proposal of a Chick-fil-A, in a current or future sense, particularly on any location that is central to student life.”
After all, how can your campus be a safe place if you allow the presence of restaurant whose CEO doesn’t agree with your stance on gay marriage? And besides, all those Chick-fil-A chicken “strips” “nuggets” and “biscuits” – they could serve as “triggers” for victims of sexual abuse, or anorexia. And as you all know, college students these days expect their schools to shield them from being “bombarded by discomfiting or distressing viewpoints;” be that from a movie or a chicken sandwich. Campuses today are awash in “trigger warnings” which appear on everything from syllabi to coffee cups.
Danger! Danger!
Still, banning an American business on campus because you disagree with their religious beliefs? Doesn’t that seem rather, um, intolerant? What ever happened to the “vote with your feet” concept? Not to mention that quaint concept – once quite popular on college campuses – of freedom of speech? Are they negated by heteropatriarchal cultures enjoying their white privilege? Or are they just invalidated when your misguided religious beliefs clash with with my enlightened, righteous beliefs?
All I know for certain is that if these little snowflakes can’t handle a “microaggression” of someone with an alternate belief system based on principles they disagree with, God help them in the face of the type of macro-aggressions our sworn enemies have in mind for them (ISIS Stones 2 Gay Men to Death). Because I don’t think their idea of tolerance of is what you think it is.
So it looks like free speech as an overarching concept of freedom may now be on its deathbed. At least that’s the conclusion it seems our President-in-Waiting and Chief Operating Officer of the Clinton Crime Family has drawn:
Or as Jim Geraghty put it:
So just to make sure I’ve made this perfectly clear: henceforth disagreement will no longer be tolerated…unless you are disagreeing with the intolerant bastards whose beliefs impose microaggressions on a marginalized member of one of the groups approved by Marginalized, Aggrieved and Oppressed Incorporated (MAO Inc.). For everyone else there will be a designated area deep within our Federal Park System where you can go to practice your constitutional right, as long as there’s nobody else there who might be offended.
First Amendment Area as designated in the Muir Woods: how progressive!
Now go forth and multiply. Or not…your body, your choice and all. Unless, that is, you want to eat a Chick-fil-A at Johns Hopkins.
Now banned on campuses country wide!

At least we do have this consolation: Liberals are raising a new generation of utterly spoiled, useless, mentally-disturbed, selfish, brats....accurately called “snowflakes” in the article.
In future politics, they shouldn’t be all that hard to beat, with all their hyper-sensitivities.....
You may have a good point.
Chelsea Hubbell-Mezvinsky and Malaria Obama-Shabazz will likely be far less ruthless than their parents.
I could go for a Chik-Fil-A sandwich right now, I’m HUNGRY!
Hope i didn’t cause a “trigger” to any emotionally stunted among us by saying that.....
J.C. Hopkins U
The biggest problem institutes of “higher” learning face today is that of microintelligence.
I feel like I’m in a war and the Christians are losing to the perverts. Thank God that He is on our side and we will win in the end! But the daily assault is very tedious!...and causes me to gag.
They make the best chicken salad sammich! Nomnom!
Their loss..more chicken sammichs for me!!!
This is a clever use of the word. Did someone just coin this? Or has this usage been around?
Microaggression?!
Chik-Fil-A employs many who would not be welcomed into other fast food companies. Many franchises have been known to give food to homeless folks. Many other good deeds by this company.
Who is really the aggressor here?
Isn’t that still a problem in itself?

This generation of university parasites is shooting for the title of “The Victim Generation.” Instead of being eternally grateful that they were not murdered in the womb as hundred of thousands of less fortunate babies of their generation, they mope through life looking for insults…and finding them in the darnedest places. America will be on the skids when this generation of losers takes over.
If you are an outspoken conservative, it's more like the Soviet Archipelago...
“Microaggression” is the Leftist codeword for any political disagreement of any kind with the collectivist progressive liberal political and social platform.
This needs to be repeated far and wide, to cut through this poison:
Microaggression = Disagreement.
Anything related to LIBs of any age is a “problem”.
Whoever controls all this sh!t is doing a fabulous job of making their thing happen.
I expect in the very short future all public schools will have “safe spaces” for snowflakes i.e. students who have been victimized by “micro-aggressions.” A complete list of “trigger warnings” will be posted for all to follow under the pain of being cast into the gorge of eternal peril.
