College students are so ####ing open minded /s
Students RISE UP!!No more anti-free speech.
"... In May, Student Government (SG) passed on an opportunity to reaffirm the University’s commitment to free speech when members voted to indefinitely table a resolution that would have condemned any student who “obstructs or disrupts” free speech."
"The resolution, which was presented to SG by the president of the College Republicans club, second-year Matthew Foldi, came in the wake of three high-profile incidents in which speakers invited to campus were shut down or interrupted by protesters."
"In February, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez had to leave the Institute of Politics (IOP) after she was confronted by Black Lives Matter protesters in the audience who held up signs started chanting."
"The next day, the University of Chicago Police Department had to end an event with Bassem Eid, a Palestinian human rights activist and critic of the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement, after protesters disrupted his speech."
"Then in April members of the Armenian Students Association interrupted an event with a scholar who they say denies the Armenian Genocide. Again, we don’t want to run long, but we could be more explicit about what happened."
"After the Alvarez event was shut down, David Axelrod – Director of the Institute of Politics and CNN Senior Political Commentator – wrote a letter to the editor in The Maroon: “The great irony is that, through their actions, [the protesters] ensured no one would get the chance to ask Ms. Alvarez challenging questions...”
When I was in high school a protest walk out had been called. My Russian teacher let us all know there would be a test that day that would weigh heavily on our final grade. I showed up for class
Just a guess that college admins are seeing their gate keeper function being challenged since they are turning into day care centers for the mentally and emotionally impaired. What employer wants a damaged individual on their hands just because that person has a crap diploma?
