The percentage of posters who comment on articles without bothering to read them is embarrassing for the rest of us.
How will they do that? Suspend a few hundred students? Riiiiiight. Try it and they’ll see a lawsuit that even corrupt liberal judges will not overcome. (Yes, I didn’t need the “corrupt” in front of “liberal”.)
The “safe space” generation.
The problem here is that GP is lying about what happened and the moron class eats it up without doing any critical thinking.
Hint 1: Look at the video that is embedded in the GP article. Did it occur to anyone that it might be curious that it would take over a month for the Admin to respond to a chant that took place on September 4th?
Hint 2: VT is a State school. They cannot restrict speech because of its content.
Hint 3: A simple search on the web would reveal the petition that was posted a few days ago after students said that they were trampled and that they were pushed up against fences. Then consider the wording of the response, which makes MUCH more sense when you consider that petition.
GP has a history of posting click-bait to stir up the moron class.
I looked for this. Perfectly said.
This wasn’t about the chants. GP lies again
Maybe Gateway Pundit should be suspended for a month if a story posted here is a lie.
Social media engrains that behavior in folks and the grifters take advantage of it.
We really are becoming an idiocracy.
Critical thinking is dying.
It’s likely that generation was enerally raised by the “too lazy to read the articles upon which they are commenting” generation.
The GP model is being copied by a lot of sites on the right that are designed to generate clicks after being posted on Twatter and Facebook.
It’s sickening.
We should be smarter than the leftist swine that do the same things.
Ah, but Biden is not the President.
Lighten up, Francis!
We're FReepers. We've been going off on headlines alone since 1997.
You don't expect us busy know-it-alls to actually READ the linked article, do you?
I've been here since 1998.
It has always been so. Don't go calling us morons!
Presumably they would be hamstrung by such deviousness, such cleverness...😊
Here is the actual petition that VT was responding to.

Again, it had NOTHING to do with any chanting.
Maybe boycott the Virginia Tech football games and take “FJB/LGB” to the city streets and city hall instead.
How about we compromise at “Morons since 1997!”?
There are a lot of posters that read the articles. It’s actually what FR was designed for.
Just reading a headline is a new thing that really took off when Facebook and Twatter came along.
Slightly edit it as, ‘Buck Joe Fiden’.
Tennessee fans say, “Hold my Mustard Bottle!”
LOL. Nooooo. They say the letter “B.” There’s a difference.
