A FREAKOUT AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE
Powerline ^ | November 9, 2016 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 11/10/2016 5:58:52 AM PST by C19fan

Hillary Clinton is a Wellesley grad, but that’s no excuse for this inane letter from Wellesley president Paula Johnson to the “Wellesley community”:

For many of us hoping to see our first woman president, this election has surprised and disappointed us. But the Wellesley spirit is indomitable, and it is in this spirit that I wanted to express to you my feeling of resolve—a powerful resolve to transform this moment into a call for action. Though it may seem impossible in the rush of emotions many of us are feeling, this must become one of those rare moments of clarity for us as a community that we cannot let pass.

It has not escaped my notice that they are writing these missives off the same template.

Regarding Sarai/Sarah:
Her righteousness was accredited to her through child-birth.

What does this mean?

I was listening to NPR early Wednesday morning on the way to work and caught this item - laughed so hard I spit coffee all over my dash.

It's great to hear this.Given that Wellesley College is a 10 minute drive from me I'm tempted to don my green “Trump/Pence,Make America Great Again” t-shirt and wander the campus.Of course doing so would probably open me up to some kind of harassment or rape charge particularly given the the town's police chief,as chairman of some national police chiefs’ organization,just recently spoke of how we should agree with all of the demands of “Black Lives Matter”.

these people should move to Saudi Arabia, or maybe Cuba.

Based on the way Hillary dresses, I’d say North Korea should be on the short list.

"they" being, which group of people?

Not doubting your observation, just curious about who crafted the template, and who it was sent to or made available to.

I'm sure I'm not the first or only person to express this, but if Crooked had run, the scools would not have created any sort of "safe space." They would have continued their full in your face against the deplorables.

Another thing -- these "safe spaces" are probably like mosques. A place to organize violence.

They should start changing their majors from stupid things like “Gender Identity” and “Climate Change” to practical matters like “Business Admin” and “Gung-Ho Capitalism.”

Maybe if their champion hadn’t been a stone cold lying cheating scheming crook she would have won.

Quote: And perhaps at the heart of all of this stands our conviction that women’s leadership is the surest way to change the world for the better.

This is like a religion for these people.

Wellesley, is Hillary the best you have???? If so, I would embarrassed instead of unjustifiably indignant.

“Women’s leadership is the surest way to change the world for the better.”

So hypocritical. Were they saying similar things when Sarah Palin was on the ticket?

Interestingly, this election has exposed a nationwide ‘town vs gown’ rivalry that has profound elements and implications. The Ivory Tower is clearly unaccepting of the will of those people who live in the ‘other places’ in the country, and whose lifestyles, beliefs, and fears are different than their own. It's really indicative of a pronounced intolerance, mixed with elitism, which are antithetical to the ‘open-mindedness’ and ‘expand your universe’ type of mentality that academia has cultured as part of its image.

Many blue collar workers, many farmers, coal miners, bricklayers, furniture movers, etc. have worked very hard and put money aside so that their children could attend these institutions, believing that attending them was a ticket to a better life. These same people are now often looked down upon by the very people whose salaries, and the university buildings they occupy, are contributed to by the tuition and board that these parents worked so hard for to provide this opportunity for their children. It's so wrong.

DID NO ONE AT THAT UNIVERSITY READ ANY OF PODESTA OR HUMA’S EMAILS??

Your hero is a crook. Clearly Wellesley is not an institute of higher learning but a place to park angry rich daughters where they can become servants of an elite oligarchy. Don’t send your kids there.

Buddy of mine used to work there as a custodian. He said the focus of Wellesley is to create and foment “man haters.”
