Hundreds of African American students and faculty members rallied against perceived racism at Purdue University this past weekend, holding signs and chanting things such as "Hey, hey, ho, ho, racism has got to go" and "Hell no, we won't go."
The students also released a set of demands, listed in Purdue's student paper.
Among students' demands, they call on Purdue to "revise" their "free speech policy" based on what they believe is "hate speech."
Part of the list reads, "We demand that the free speech policy be revised to address hate speech in person and through social media. We demand the university to follow harassment policies consistently to protect students from hostility."
Purdue's official policy on free speech and "hate" reads:
In a word, the University's fundamental commitment is to the principle that debate or deliberation may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even by most members of the University community to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or wrong-headed. It is for the individual members of the University community, not for the University as an institution, to make those judgments for themselves, and to act on those judgments not by seeking to suppress speech, but by openly and vigorously contesting the ideas that they oppose.This is not good enough for students at Purdue. Students believe that speech that they find offensive should be silenced, or at the very least not allowed to be freely expressed.
They also want the university to "more actively and effectively advertise and utilize the Report Hate & Bias program."
Among other things demanded by the students, they "demand that there be a 20 percent increase of underrepresented minority faculty and staff by the 2019-2020 school year" as well as "there be a 30 percent increase of underrepresented minority students by the 2019-2020 school year."
A bunch of Affirmative Action losers who won’t belong there in the first place, think that they are entitled to dictate what everyone else can say. The black-skin brown-shirts are on the march, backed up by their wimpy white “occupy” leftovers.
Grievance of the Month majors
“This is so out of hand, and these people are going to be asking for jobs in a couple years. America is doomed.”
I already decided that I will never hire a millennial unless he came from a fraternity and is conservative. I want someone with a work ethic and not an entitlement attitude.
If this trend gains traction and spreads beyond ultra-left campuses, sites like Free Republic will be banned. And since opposing sites like Dem Underground don’t offend leftists, they will be unaffected.
Blacks have indicated that you would be a damn fool to hire them. Once hired, it would cost a fortune to get rid of them when they don’t want to take orders from the boss,
Does this mean Hillary has to stop hating republicans?
They’re using their free speech to demand it be taken from others?
Nice.
And they’re going to harass, bully, use social media and get in people’s faces until they get a ordinance against harassment, bullying, using social media and getting in people’s faces.
I guess Prudue doesn’t really take the best or brightest. :)
Where? Rancho Santa Fe or La Jolla?
Demand denied. Now, run along.
'Hey-Hey, Ho-Ho, Get *****!'
Time for white parents to wake up and not pay for their kids to go to “diverse” “institutions of higher education”.
Purdue is a serious engineering school. I won’t be driving on any bridges these affirmative action clowns will be building.
these people are going to be DEMANDING jobs in a couple years.
There, fixed it for ya.
Looks more like the 60's are in charge. The BLM crowd has learned enough from them to consider them the new establishment.
I find their speech to be offensive and demand they be silenced.
I demand that their student status be revised.
As in kick their dumb *sses out.
Anyone wanna bet on their laughable “studies” majors?
Are there 100 people in that enclave?
Poor little down trodden kiddies who have free rides to an elite school. The face of hostility and hatred is in their mirrors.
