Tensions at Yale University hit a boiling point yesterday after an email about Halloween costumes created a week-long controversy on campus.

Students called for the resignation of Associate Master of Silliman College Erika Christakis after she responded to an email from the school’s Intercultural Affairs Council asking students to be thoughtful about the cultural implications of their Halloween costumes. According to The Washington Post, students are also calling for the resignation of her husband, Master of Silliman College, Nicholas Christakis, who defended her statement.

Who trained our youth to be this overly sensitive, weak minded, and intolerant?

The New McCarthyism is from the left...

What do you expect from a generation that pretty much grew up where everyone got trophies, win or lose.

I am sorry you could get your feelings hurt over some stupid Halloween costume, you liberal free-speech Nazis.

Life in American, 2015: The highest achievment is victim status.

Forget about science, engineering or business. The Grievance industry is where it’s at.

This appears to be a coordinated effort spanning universities across the country.

It’s almost as if a community organizer/agitator is behind it.

Does anybody know of a community organizer/agitator who has nationwide influence?

If Yale graduates were required to explain this behavior during job interviews, either this stuff would die or the value of a Yale degree would wither.

If a Yale degree means you are this kind of lunkhead, why on earth would anyone hire you for anything?

“McCarthyism” was a smear. There was no “McCarthyism” as the MSM and libs claim.

Trump needs to bring back the draft.

After he re-segregates the military with regard to gender.

Banishes homosexuals and weirdos like trannies.

Get the girls off the boats and out of combat.

Outback Steakhouse Rules of Engagement in all Conflicts with total amnesty on all charged with violations of anything that George Patton would ignore.

And then bring back Basic a la Full Metal Jacket for the conscripts.

I would especially favor the participation of Yale men (sic).

I run three businesses. Given their outrage mode of behavior, I will NEVER hire a Yale grad unless they prove they don’t share this left wing repressive mindset.

PS I laude the Professor’s response.

Yes. On another thread regarding the University of Missouri football team, I called it race-war extortion.

The universities are going full-on Maoist Red Guard.

It looks as though Yale is churning out morons, not to mention lousy Americans (if indeed these are Americans that are complaining).
