The ’60s Is Repeating Itself in Universities and Black Neighborhoods

But the rebellions that followed on multiple campuses for many years were transmogrified into many other things — banning military presence on campus, authorizing separate black organizations, firing administrators, and establishing racial quotas and preferences in admissions.

In the process campuses were transformed into leftist enclaves in the larger society, with “tenured radicals” reshaping faculty in their own image, black and Hispanic groups self-isolating into mono-racial cliques, and speech codes enacted to punish anyone who dissented from campus orthodoxy. Scholarship in many areas has been profoundly weakened and trivialized — a huge loss to society.

That’s the atmosphere highlighted in the violent and frenzied protests lately at the University of Missouri, Yale, and Claremont McKenna College. Protesters are demanding high-visibility denunciations of real or imagined racial slights and the creation of “safe spaces” for students desperate not to hear opinions other than their own. If this is as representative of generational attitudes as the baby boomers’ punch-card signs, we’re in for an even more polarized, less tolerant, and seriously infantilized future.

Circus time again when all the non-funny clowns take to the streets. Like earlier, what's old is new again. SDS part deux.

Someone made a great post about not liking the 70’s the first time around and even less this time.

Anyone know what post that was. It was great.

Author us being a bit too clever cutesy.

This article is OK but what has been transmogrified is WFB’s National Review in to a reed shaking in the wind (at best).

I remember the 1960s.

This Li'l Abner episode ended with the university being sold to the Mob. In the next riot, the Hippie tooth met the enforcer's brass knuckles. Peace ensued on campus.

What did we expect? Come to find out, these criminals (Hello. It’s not ‘cute’ anymore) have been festering all these years in entities associated with government,, they finally DO take over the government & everybody yawns. Or at least doesn’t do anything about it.

So much for progress. And the rule of law. Some people try to overthrow the government, commit- at the very least, multiple attempts at murder, hide out for awhile & then, completely get away with it. And we wonder why our country is in a smoking ruin. smh

$22 trillion, more or less, if you don't count the no-show/no-production jobs and the wasted free college educations.

WOW! I thought it was like $50 trillion. Maybe if you include the noshow/noproduce/free college.

And like 1968, another Republican is going to be elected President.

On a smaller scale, sure.

But you don't have the kind of mass support now that you had for either movement back in the 1960s.

Key factor on campuses: no draft.

Also: no assumption of automatically increasing affluence.

Lucky there’s a “self identifying” segment of mindless kids who can support the blm’rs. Well, until they’re told to stay out of ‘black only’ meetings.

Yep. And we’d play hell trying to add it up because it’s gone off in so many directions, we’d spend the next 30 or 40 years finding stuff we missed- like grants & ‘endowments’ & ‘studies’ & BS like that.

I think it was me, something about enjoying the 70’s even less this time.

But I post so much crap who knows.
