Modern progressive college students have become so militant they’re frightening their own like-minded professors, according to an account posted by one such professor on the website Vox.
The professor, using the pseudonym Edward Schlosser, claims to have taught for nine years and currently works at a midsize state college. Over that time, he says, students have decisively shifted to become so protective of their fragile emotions that defying their sensibilities can be “suicidal” for one’s career.

THEY opened Pandora’s Box. Maybe they are not parents, and do not know about boundaries?? Pandering to the young’uns never works.
Nice post, Red Badger. Hosea 8, exactly.
Thanks! Duh!
Actually, I just did. Dumb teacher shows a highly political documentary IN AN ENGLISH WRITING COURSE!!! and is surprised somebody gets political on him. What an ass. But, then, an essay on Jane Austin would probably have been too difficult for both Prof & student.
Thank you for posting.
Thank you.
Academics who know the whole history of the Cultural Revolution in China, and yet continue to push Marxism, perplex me.
Anyone who thinks that leftists won’t kill fellow citizens is not familiar with the various power grabs in places like Russia. There are difficult times ahead in our Nation.
Interesting. It sounds like he is describing a certain president of a certain once-great country I once knew of...
Gotta love the wailing of libtards who are suffering from the logical out workings of their own foolishness. Maybe that Karma thing is more real than any of us could have guessed.
