A band of Dartmouth College students has sent an extortion letter to the school’s administration. The group, self-described as “concerned Asian, Black, Latino, Native, Undocumented, Queer, and Differently-Abled students,” wants Dartmouth to yield to its demands under threat of “physical action.”
The un-named collection of radicals demand a number of steps be taken by Dartmouth to “eradicate systems of oppression as they affect marginalized communities on this campus.”
Taken verbatim, their list of demands are as follows:
• Racial enrollment quotas for Black and Latino students to “at least 10 percent each”
• “Ensure that 47 percent of post-doctoral students are people of color”
• “Ban the use of ‘illegal aliens,'...

“But to threaten violent action - if I remember correctly, that USED to be called a “Terroristic Threat” “
I didn’t see anything about violent action,just physical action. That could mean a sit-in.
they eat vegetarian in the jails now.
I’ll concede your point. Words mean things.
But again. Reply with “No” and see what happens. My guess is they’ll lose their minds and go SDS and Weathermen over it.
And they’re so.... fashionable.... in their pink prison jumpsuits.
Sheriff Joe for President!
The unnamed group...They should be called Communists
Boy was I mistaken.
Look at the Dartmouth home page. They are crowing about a study that discovered that temperature affects the size of glaciers. This is an Ivy League School. Go Green!
someday, I hope to have Joe sign a pair of pink underwear. he’s a tough old guy. probably live longer than I will. the pink undies stopped the criminals from stealing them and plenty of psycho studies showing pastels calm people.
he’s a softy about animals (has a great abused animal “no kill” shelter in the jail and prisoners get skills helping with the animals) and he runs a high school in the jail. he doesn’t get any props for those programs by the drive-by media.
his “chain gangs”? the prisoners volunteer. who the heck wouldn’t want to get out of jail and do a part in cleaning up the State of rubbish?
He’s “Old School American” and that rates highly with me.
Hell, I wish more Sheriffs were like him all across the country.
If they take “physical action” I think the college should first give them a boot to the head and then a resounding boot to the ass off campus.
Basics
Size 1,117 students
Male 50%
Female 50%
Backgrounds:
African-American 8%
Asian American 18%
Caucasian 48%
Latino 7%
Native American 4%
Multi-Racial 2%
No Response 5%
Half female, half minorities, and since their self-described "queer" group can also take numbers out of the evil white male group, they already dominate the campus. At best, they probably have 23% of the campus as straight white males with citizenship or proper visas. The remaining 77% is protesting for more power and authority and advantages over that 23%. The poor oppressed underprivileged Ivy League darlings.
(14.3% of the students have parents who went there. Only 10% of all their students are the first generation to attend a university. NINETY percent come from college-educated parents.)
Actually I believe you were right about the earlier graduates. But that has changed today.
Last November, I gave a presentation on sharks to a group of Dartmouth Alumni , on Cape Cod. They appeared to be mostly retired men aging from about 65 to over 80 years of age.
My impression was they were highly successful in life, both economically and in other pursuits like literature and reasearch, and business start-ups.
They were a great group of people to be around.
I would think these winners in life at that presentation are disappointed with this new breed of winers at Dartmouth. -Tom
The “No response” to the race question was probably from the 5% of actual conservatives which is about right.
Exactly right.
This is unnerving. Why haven’t the administration and faculty at Dartmouth caved in to the Leftist thugs already? What are they waiting for?
“..What are they waiting for?...”
MAYBE....just maybe.... a couple of them reached down inside their pants... found their pair of stones (onions, cajones, huevos)... and suddenly remembered what “courage” means.
I mean... it COULD happen... couldn’t it? It IS possible!
(really.... it IS....)
I agree. He’s not like Dupnick down in Pima County.
