If the “kids” don’t know how to act in public by the time they get to college, it’s certainly not the college’s fault.
Four-year vacation at $25K per semester.
How did we win World War II?
Microaggression is simply the word they use for whiteness.
No, it’s the parents who had 18 years to teach their special little snowflakes how to behave in public. For high tuition costs, colleges aren’t supposed to be remedial education.
The whole social presumption that everyone has the “right” to not be “offended” is stupid to begin with. If someone wants to be offended in their delicate little mind, they can always be offended, and there is nothing the rest of us can do about it. (Here’s a free tissue—go off in the corner and have a good cry—then you might feel better.) (sarc)
I was blessed with being in one of the last classes that had old school professors and instructors. Then again I majored in engineering and manufacturing. But we didn’t even have the Berzerkely trained babies in humanities. (Then again what self respecting berzerkelyite would move to Fresno? I can’t imagine a single one of my teachers tolerating this microagression and racist nonsense at college. There were a few libs but not as rabid as they are now.
Colleges are teaching kids that they have the right to throw a tantrum when someone expresses a contrary opinion to their own, and that their hurt feelings trump the other person’s rights to speech, association and belief.
And not only do they think they have the right to shut down debate via temper tantrums, but they then see it as their right to interject in any gathering of those who have contrary views and disrupt those events, too.
SJW are the new Muslims, seeing disagreement is an attack on themselves, neither tolerating non-believers in public without humiliation and constantly attacking their alternative groups.
If I were paying $40k per year to send my kid to college, the last thing I am going to pay for is etiquette lessons. I took care of that myself. My kids are polite, grateful, they show up and they are prepared.
If the college needs to teach that on my dime...I want a refund.
