All they need is some little red books to wave around....
I shelved my plan to go trick or treating at Yale dressed as a vagina after it became obvious there were a lot of pricks there trying to f**k me.
“Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious… a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive? American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience; increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition.”
The Thought Nazis made her point far better than she did.
Pray America wakes
F.I.R.E. does good work. I wondered what side they fell on with this Yale brewhaha... and sure enough, they are on the right side, as usual.
So lefties took over the campus, and instituted all kinds of new orthodoxies, such as micro-aggressions, rape culture, LBGTQWXYZ
And now the little red guards they spawned are turning on them.
So sad.
It seems that Princeton manages to avoid controversies like this fairly well. Yale always had a reputation for being a bit more dramatic and activist, whereas Princeton is a bit more laid-back overall. Just an observation.
Also, I think many Yale students probably think this whole response is overblown. It’s often the case that the “social justice warriors” who shout the loudest, but they’re not even close to the majority of students there.
Seriously, though, if you fired ALL the liberal dipweeds infesting the ivy plague schools and replaced them with feces-flinging monkeys, wouldn’t the world be a better place?
My response to the students; “You mad, bro? Problems?”
The Leftist think their RIGHTS TRUMP everyone else.
Whatever happened to live free and let other live free. Oh no they want to force everyone to submit, like slaves, to their own personal Will.
Someone needs to tell them to get over it or leave.

Everyone concerned about the increasing madness of the young, particularly at college, should read that.
Every whiner who finds a reason to feel insulted? Meh.
These are America’s future judges. Scary huh?
So glad Greg Lukianoff of FIRE was on campus to film this, because that professor will need an attorney. I bet Yale Admin will throw him under the bus.. Those young women were screaming and shrieking. There were no men there. THe liberal prof let himself be sucked into a ‘discussion’ - but all they wanted was an apology. If the Prez of Yale allows this without setting boundaries, HE is part of the problem.
I would NEVER EVER send my kid to those universities. Ours went to a local tech/ state university, got a great job. His wife left college after 2 years of professorial-shenanigans, did NOT get brain-washed, and is a perfectly normal young woman.

Go to class, maintain a 4.0 GPA, STFU, get your degree, get a job, and then, maybe, you can have an input into important things like that.
How absolutely pathetic. Do they intend to live in a hothouse all their lives?
Hat tip to the legendary Al Capp -
SWINE! - Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything!
The Yale Nazi Brigade can go ESAD.
