Students at Amherst College recently protested the mere presence of a conservative speaker, saying students shouldn’t have to “feel afraid for their safety.”

Just stay at home in a padded room and we'll send your diploma to you.

Aw...poor little Snowflake. Lock yourself in your Participation Trophy room and come out after you realize you need to grow up.

Strange how we went from The Greatest Generation to The Most Grating Generation.

“I’ll give you something to really cry about.”

Most fathers of my Dad’s generation. Thanks!

“I’ll give you something to really cry about.”

Dad is that you??

Man, I grew up hearing that just about every day. LOL.

Go home to your mommy and daddy, and leave the stable student body in peace.

These kids have been pampered to the point they are self-destructing.

us capitalists shouldn’t have to feel bullied by socialist nut jobs, and demand that they are all removed from campus immediately!

Okay, I done had enough.

Who will tell these imbeciles to take their cry baby asses home to their putrid parents?

[dforest]

So did I! LOL

Which department at Amherst do I send my nieces crayons? She hasn’t used them in years. They’re perfect for their safe spaces or whatever toilet they call it..

Then maybe they shouldn’t be learning how to be communists.

“You can be replaced, you know.” was another one.

“No student should ever have to feel afraid for their safety or have to wake up in the morning knowing that there are other students on this campus who hate them for an integral part of their identity and are willing and able to voice these hurtful ideas on a public platform,” the letter declares.

Careful, kiddies, that will put all the Studies departments out of business if it applies to white males.

When our fathers and grandfathers were exposed to hurtful ideas (German and Japanese imperialism and more) they went and kicked their asses.

You idiots don't even want to hear any other ideas than those your professors approve. You want to run away from other ideas.

[Red Badger]

Wow!

That brings back some memories!.....................(not all good. ;^)................

One of those rare times the ACLU was right about anything was when fmr director Norm Seigal stated that in reality the 1A doesn't protect free speech. It's there to protect UNPOPULAR speech. And another rare instance when the ADL was on the right side was when Nathan Perlmutter said that the worst thing to do with what one would consider hate speech is to censor it. The best way to desal with it is to CHALLENGE it with MORE speech. But millenials, who are supposedly the smartest generation in history, are too intellectual lazy, so they seek the path of least resistance, speech codes, safe spaces, trigger warnings, etc.

“No [Muslim] student should ever have to feel afraid for their safety or have to wake up in the morning knowing that there are other students on this campus who hate them for an integral part of their identity and are willing and able to voice these hurtful ideas on a public platform,”

Here's an idea: Tell all those other Muslims to stop beheading people, murdering their children in the name of honor killings, throwing gays off the top of three story buildings, and killing your own people by denotating bombs in the middle of crowded markets. Then...maybe...you'll earn enough respect to warrant our safety.
