FULL TITLE:
Hampshire College had their graduation this weekend and it was the sh--show everyone dreamed Turtleboy’s favorite hippie college would be. Don’t know how we missed this story from a couple weeks ago, but I literally spit out my coffee and started laughing when I read this paragraph:
Hampshire College President Jonathan Lash announced that the college has selected a new commencement speaker in response to students who were upset that the original choice — Dr. Emily Wong — didn’t come from a pool of potential speakers suggested by students that included writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, president Barack Obama and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
Wait…..what?? Let me get this straight. Students at Hampshire College actually get to submit a list of acceptable graduation speakers to the school President, and they ACTUALLY put Beyonce, Obama, and Bernie down as acceptable choices? This was a real list they actually thought would be taken seriously? Beyonce, Obama, Bernie. Sweet baby Jesus these are the dumbest mother f-ers who have ever lived.
But wait, they invited some more people in case Beyonce couldn’t make:
Lash said he initially chose Wong because the college was unable to bring in the speakers nominated by graduating students. He wrote:
Lash also informed the community that Bill Nye, Rachel Maddow, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and President Barack Obama did not respond to the college’s invitation.
Jane Goodall, Lupita Nyong’o, Billy Nye, Rachel Maddow, and LeVar Barton were the backup choices?? And if they couldn’t make it Tom Brady and Jonas Salk were next on the list.
And how much of a va-jay-jay is the President of this school? The students made this ridiculous list of speakers who would obviously not even respond to their ridiculous request to speak in front of their welfare school, and since he obviously couldn’t book any of them he went out and found a doctor who is both a minority and a woman. But apparently Dr. Emily Wong’s resume wasn’t progressive enough for the butthurt patrol:
“(I asked Wong) because my conversations with her felt so Hampshire-esque – she is a physician who is committed to using her scientific training to better peoples’ lives, specializing in infectious diseases in South Africa, where HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis disproportionately affect communities of color,” Lash wrote. “In turn, she was very excited to learn about a college where rigorous interdisciplinary work and a passionate faculty and student body converge into a force for radical social change.”
Helping stop the spread of AIDS in Africa? Sounds like Asian privilege to me!! Get that weak sauce cisgender hate speech off of Hampshire College’s campuses. Instead they demanded a guy in a dress named Reina Gossett, because being transgender is so hot in the social justice warriors streets right now:
That chick looks like she could be playing strong safety at UMass. Just sayin. That’s a dude. Maybe if Dr. Wong had a wong then she’d still be the speaker. Lesson learned.
Like we’ve said a million times on here before, we blame the adults in this situation. The students are all morons. We know that. They’re not smart people. But people like this guy right here handing out diplomas:
President Jonathan Lash. I mean, look at some of these people getting diplomas:
This is not a real school. It’s not a real college. No employer would EVER take a resume seriously if this was where you got your bachelor’s degree. As you can see from the graduation, it’s literally a clown college.
But Jonathan Lash should know better. He DOES know better. He’s smarter than these nudniks. But he’s scared of them, and it’s easier for him to give into their idiocy than it is to actually teach them. Teach them that they are not in charge. Their opinions matter, but only to an extent. And when they put Obama and Beyonce on their wish list for graduation speakers, he can’t take them seriously so he has to get his own speaker. And if they don’t like it, then don’t go to graduation. In other words, fuck off.
This would be the best lesson he could ever teach these poor, helpless souls.
The college SNOWFLAKES just love freak shows. To them, everything is a freak show. The problem comes when you understand freaks don’t make enough money to pay off their college loans.
“Obama Or Beyoncé”
Makes sense, since those two are on about the same intellectual par... (well...maybe SHE’S smarter)!
Graduation speakers are a waste of time. I had to listen to Daniel Inouye drone on about Indian rights in my college graduation. It was horrible. Then I had to listen to the “Dead Man Walking” nun rant and rave like an angry lunatic (she really did) about the death penalty for my graduate school graduation. I would have rather had some entertainer say something stupid in a short speech. I would have been happier listening to some transgender mess give a speech that was out in the Twilight Zone too — just for the entertainment value. Its rare that you get a good graduation speech.
After looking at the photos of the graduation, I thought I was being spoofed, and this was actually an onion article...
So did the white poodle with the blue cap or the red hair walrus graduate ?
Hard to tell...
This crap doesn’t fly at Franklin Pierce University where my son goes. These idiots would be thrown in the lake and held down.
So I’m just spitballing here but to me it is a sure bet that none of these assholes will ever get a W-2 from a company that has real benefits other than telling you to ‘apply for Obamacare.’
If they do get one, it will be from McDonald’s or Taco Bell or something. They’ll need it to file for their EITC. If they’re not too, too effing stupid, maybe they’ll figure out how to get Advance EITC payments. That takes a bit of smarts and reading, but they can do it!......(if they get help.)
Hampshire College - Home of Trigglypuff!
How about the ultimate victim? a “transgendered” gay black Spanish-speaking muzzy?
Hampshire is probably the looniest of the “5 colleges”. I know a guy who graduated from there and really does have a respectable job, but I suspect he’s in the minority. And Hampshire is far more “audience participation” than a traditional college, so it’s not entirely surprising that the students have so much input into the selection of the commencement speaker.
Beyonce’s new nickname should be “44 Pence”
They're going to put FSU out of business.
LOL!
Tough discipline there at Franklin Pierce.
I may be exaggerating but not by much. Andrew Card runs a tight ship.
I tried. Really tried to wrap my mind around these clowns' parents' justification in wasting their life savings to pay for these freaks education. But then I realized, it's us taxpayers who paid for it and we'll never see a dime back.
“(well...maybe SHE’S smarter)!”
If by “smarter”, you meant “has a large, sexy butt that she’s famous for wiggling in front of a camera and then expecting to be taken seriously”, then yes she IS smarter!
Hmmmm, right.
However, there is a not so nice name for getting ahead in life based on the ‘advantages of your person’.
So-that tells you what SHE’S about.
It starts at the top. The college president in the photos has four velvet stripes on his gown, a sure sign of small man disease since academic heraldry recognizes no such garb.
Every college president I’ve met who goes for the four stripes thing knows he/she is an intellectual lightweight who doesn’t have a real doctorate in a rigorous academic discipline. The real professors, not the posers, see it as a tip-off every time.
I don’t feel a bit sorry for the guy having to hand out degrees to and shaking the hands of a bunch of fruitcakes. He is one of the many “doctorate” holders in Women’s Studies, Gender Identity, Deweyism, or some other such tripe who (accurately) give American higher education a bad name.
I’m taking all the velvet off my gown. Let the prancing peacocks strut among themselves ...
