Mob of Yale students encircling professor and angrily demanding an apology over Halloween costumes
Daily Mail ^ | 16 September 2016 | By Dailymail.com Reporter

New videos have surfaced of a Yale professor being protested and yelled at by students for sending an email telling them to ignore people dressed in offensive or racist Halloween costumes.

The fallout of the email saw Nicholas Christakis, the master of Silliman College at Yale, and his wife Erika, a faculty member, resign from their positions at the university.

The new videos, which appeared on The Federalist, give a greater insight into what the students were demanding from Christakis, and his defense that cultural appropriation on Halloween is permissible.

Many students in the mob of almost 100 can be seen crying and shouting in the clips, as they scream at Christakis to apologize.

He didn’t do anything racist. He just declined to accommodate their requests to start banning Halloween costumes that some snowflakes decided were racist.

Why are Yale students interested in Halloween? I have it up around 13 years of age.

The same reason that faggots love Halloween. They're emotionally stunted.

what were the costumes? KKK sheets? They seemed so hostile I thought it was a BLM movement or a bowel movement.

At least one of those Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) crossed the line of acceptable social interaction. He intentionally, and without provocation, tried to physically intimidate the professor. Aside from the general nonsense he spewed, there was this gem “[because you are who you are] you can never experience racism.” A useful reminder of the basis for the SJW movement; it’s not a movement about fairness with intellectual integrity but rather a political interest group vying for resources.

The crowd looks not like committed students who will be future leaders, but a mob showing up for a public square humiliation or execution. It’s an event.

I would like to these clowns to take up their issues with ISIS. They’re not real worlders. They’re a clown show.

Yale is putting out piles of dung.

This is old. Happened in 2015. Since then, the encircled professor has resigned. The snowflakes got what they wanted. Love watching the left immolate themselves.

Yes, I understand; although my generation didn’t celebrate it. Maybe today’s college students need to grow up.

Good. Let the academics die at the hands of the monsters they created.

Absolutely! They’re the ones the created these dungheads.

I seriously doubt 90% of them would be in Yale if not for their skin color or ethnicity. They all came across as a bunch of PC idiots with no clue of the real world.

They’ve shown why they cannot be hired. That’s why so many end up working in government.

It wasn’t about specific costumes, I mean, this started months and months before Halloween. The students wanted the administrators to preemptively ban any costumes that any students subjectively might take offense to.

Of course there is no way to know what costume some student would take offense to until someone wore the costume and the student got offended, so the whole idea is completely unworkable. Not that such things matter to the special snowflakes.

Yale is a commie front for advancement of fags and you can’t teach there unless you’re as twisted as the administration. Why should we care that there’s a lover’s spat going on at that dump?
