Breitbart ^ | September 13, 2016 | Tom Ciccotta

According to a recent article in The Bucknellian, students at Bucknell were upset over the lack of attendance at a recent campus event that covered issues of social justice. An event at Bucknell University entitled “Conscience, Courage, and Community: Bucknell Responds to Injustice Today” was largely underattended, which prompted students to call for future social justice-themed events to be made mandatory by university administrators. “These seats won’t fill up … Three years and they still aren’t filled,” said Anthony Scrima, voicing his frustrations about the lack of interest in the event.

I am not sure who said it but there is a quote about living under Leftism; what is not prohibited is mandatory.

Maybe it is because Anthony Scrima is probably the most boring speaker on the face of the erf! If you cannot fill some seats after three years of trying, it is probably not the attendees fault, but the fault of the speaker.

Yo Tony! How about equal-opportunity forced education? How about semester of firearms training for all?

Why would anybody in their right mind go and listen to a queer feminist social justice warrior?

Well those upset at the low attendance at this event can take comfort in the fact that indoctrination in such ideas is no doubt already included in politically correct “diversity” course requirements to graduate.

Bucknell is a good school. $$. But all universities permeated with political correctness.

All you have to do is outdo them. Show up as a trisexual dinosaur and dare them to be sauraphobic.

“Bucknell is a good school. $$. But all universities permeated with political correctness.”

Exactly right. Most schools give little more than a hat-tip to this crap. The events are poorly attended and never mandatory.

My son just went through freshman orientation at Pitt and didn’t have to deal with any of this crap, though there are clubs and groups on campus of this nature.

The way it is worded, “these seats won’t fill up” almost sounds like it is the seats’ fault. Maybe the seats are in cahoots with the guns. These inanimate objects are pretty sly.

They are well on the way to becoming good little totalitarians.

The lesson we learned from the 1960’s is the that wacky dopers, students, anarchists and cop killers of one generation are the college professors, politicians and news media stars of the next.

From the article:

Interestingly, Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ event filled an auditorium at Bucknell back in February, and over 50 students had to be turned away at the door.

if you’ve seen the attendance at their football games, it might help to make going to the stadium on game day mandatory as well...

hey, at least it’s more fun than listening to a bevy of hectoring harpies...

“freshman orientation at Pitt and didn’t have to deal with any of this crap”

I find that hard to believe in today’s world. My freshman orientation was in 1986 and there was some p.c. crap thrown in even back then. Pitt would have to be an outlier.

poor Anthony can’t see the forest for the trees...those aren’t empty seats; they’re attendees disguised as empty seats...
