Students at Amherst College recently protested the mere presence of a conservative speaker, saying students shouldn’t have to “feel afraid for their safety.” They found the speaker, Michael Graham, offensive and unqualified because he was fired from his talk radio show twelve years ago after repeatedly pointing out the relationship between Islam and terrorism.

Do these students really expect to make a living and compete in the world?
Snowflakes.
No. They expect the government to take care of them for the remainder of their lives, just like the Left has always advertised.
They're the ones who get hired in Human Resources departments and various "diversity outreach" programs.
Don’t they just go to the room filled with stuffed animals and colouring books and puppy videos?
Spoiled rotten children who feel entitled to having it their way ,,, a Snowflake by all standards .
It is on my “bucket list” to meet one of these snowflakes.
One dirty look from me is all it will take to make them run back into their cave.
Wow! That is the definition of tyranny!
This being the town of Amherst, they’ll get their way. I’m a little surprised that it’s only Amherst College that’s calling for this, rather than the entire 5-college community plus the town itself.
“fired from his talk radio show twelve years ago after repeatedly pointing out the relationship between Islam and terrorism”
What kind of bigot points that out. Granted, there have been 31,867 Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11 according to https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ data. However, we should not generalize from that detail, not when those were all lone wolves or groups of lone wolves, and not when there have been several non-Islamic terrorist attacks in the same time period.
Hard to decide who's the more foolish, the parents or the brat/s.
Sadly they do. I pity the employer who hires them.
Idiotflakes.
I’m pretty sure there’s a list of colleges and universities who have participated in this kind of idiocy; it would be good to make sure any managers in the crowd have that list so they can apply appropriate filters to any piles of resumes they are asked to review.
...Well we can't listen to someone who would actually be honest!
I need a list to shrink the college options available for my kids...
“it also declared that the Amherst College Republicans (ACR) should have consulted with other identity-based student groups like the Muslim Students Association and the South Asian Students Association before inviting speakers to campus.”
And the Amherst College Republicans should of course know this given the number of times they were consulted over the dozens of left-wing speakers routinely invited to speak on campus. (yes, that was sarcasm).
