And they will suggest taking stairs instead of the elevator.
Recommendation for this student if he completes his degree at UNH - Years later, when the alumni association begs for money, tell them to F*** OFF!
Dumb kid, dumber response. A short lecture on manners and a stern "don't do it again" would have been sufficient in my day. Not everything is a political cause celebre, despite the academic left's attempt to make it sure.
Have you noticed that NO ONE is given a slap on the wrist anymore for doing anything remotely politically or socially incorrect? Even 6 year old kids get the boot from school for an innocent mistake. How are people supposed to learn from their "mistakes" if they aren't given a second chance? In Christianity you always have a chance for redemption, but under the religion of socialism you are guilty first, last, and always (and more often than not, before you even do it).
Where have you been? That's the entire point of political correctness - to outlaw humor! Humor is the greatest enemy of tyrants.
All this poor "victim" needs to do is go to his "hearing" in a dress...
...He was also required to meet with a counselor to discuss his actions, write a 3,000-word reflection paper about the session and write a letter of apology to residents of Stokes Hall...
DOESN'T THAT REMIND YOU OF MAO'S OR POL POT'S REEDUCATION CAMPS....WELCOME TO THE KILLING FIELDS.
F#$%%$^G COMMIES!!!
i am sorry. who the heck's business is it if kids take the elevators or gain 15 lbs? certainly not this little nazi's. here everyone is defending him but i question his need to "control" other people's lives by posting posters telling them when they have to walk the stairs and then, when no one will do what he says, offending girls by photographing them and posting their pictures. he sounds like a psycho in the making. what was going to be his next move? he sounds more like a PC liberal than the university. i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't more to this. obviously there were several interventions with this brat. i don't think he should be living in his car but he needed to be wised up and i have seen kids kicked off campus for less than this.
"If I were in college today, i'd have been crucified, dead, buried, dug up and crucified again for the way I acted there 25 years ago."
And that would only include our freshman year!!
If they force him to reside on campus then has he been provided alternative lodging? Did he pay money for his dormroom for the semester? Has he gotten his remaining time refunded?
If they took his money and fail to provide adequate housing that HAS to be theft by the Administration.
You have to be a liberal troll.
The kid was trying to inject humor into a frustrating situation that he was experiencing in his dorm.
You sound like the worst kind of PC liberal freak.
I never understood what the Freshman 15 was all about. I lost weight when I started college. The food was crap, and it took a lot of energy to walk to and from the bars and house parties.
Surely you forgot your sarcasm tag.
Well, maybe in your world. Not mine, thank goodness.
" here everyone is defending him but i question his need to "control" other people's lives by posting posters ..."
He approached not one female in person, and it was a gag!
There was a three foot poster of Karl Marx in the student lounge, and because of the trauma it caused, I flunked out of college.......NOT!
I would like to think that if I was a student there, I would organize a protest. However, I'd also be worried that they would kick everyone out who protested, since free speech is no longer tolerated at many universities.
Oh, things were bad enough back when I was in college:
I won a campus radio station contest to invent a new national holiday -
I suggested that Nov. 22 be National Sharpshooter's Day
When I came out of the radio station office with my prize - a record album - I was chased through the streets of New Haven by a mob!
Got away I guess because no single one of them wanted to be the first one to catch me...
Just didn't have any sensayuma!
BTW, that was in '65.
John Kerry was probably one of the mob.
I know it's foolish to try to understand these things with reason and logic but...
Harassment: Someone thought the sign harassed them. Got it.
Disorderly Conduct: Is such a vague term as to be pretty much anything authorities don't like. Got it.
Affirmative Action: This one escapes me. Even in the feeble mind of the worst PC drone, I cannot see how a sign asking people to take the stairs has anything to do with giving minorities preferences based on a quota system.
Anyone want to take a guess why they threw that one in there? Maybe it's just standard operating procedure to call anyone they don't like a racist?
