A hunger strike? Goody. I remember in Malcolm In The Middle when Francis had a hunger strike at the military academy. That sure went well. He gave Francis his magic hat.
I wonder what they’d do if their American Lit professor reads them Huckleberry Finn. The most accidentally profound novel (Twain had intended another adventure novel for boys) ever written. But it has the N-word all over it!
Cow farts! Supersized drinks! Oh, nose!
“Students at the University of Oklahoma held a sit-in after history professor Kathleen Brosnan uttered the n-word while reading a historic document in class. The protest was kicked off by members of the Black Emergency Response Team”
The “n-word”, the one word that must not be uttered or you will face a possible death penalty in the job market—unless you happen to be a rapper, in which case you might win a record contract or a music award.
We are truly living in bizarro times.
I guess the Snowflakes of today have never heard of “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn”. When I was in college my first Freshman English professor asked if anyone in the class hadn’t read it. I was one of the few who raised my hand. Her reply was: “It’s too bad some of you missed a great classic”.
My second semester professor not only made it required reading, we had to write papers on “the role of the Mississippi River as a god” in “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn”.
