Interesting. I am guessing the other two-thirds of the students are devoid of any ethnic background. < /sarcasm>
what does it say
this
you do not like folk who represent an idea or view which is not the same as yours .
You harp on about your precious diversity and yet you do not understand diversity is not just based on color or religion but also based on views.
So the next time you harp on about tolerance remember it is you who is the most intolerant people in this country
How can we build a tolerant society if we have to let just anyone speak?
How can we shape a new generation of students who are accepting of the differences in people if we let in people who don’t agree with us?

JUDITH:
I do feel, Reg, that any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must reflect such a divergence of interests within its power-base.
REG:
Agreed. Francis?
FRANCIS:
Yeah. I think Judith’s point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man—
STAN:
Or woman.
FRANCIS:
Or woman... to rid himself—
STAN:
Or herself.
FRANCIS:
Or herself.
REG:
Agreed.
FRANCIS:
Thank you, brother.
STAN:
Or sister.
FRANCIS:
Or sister. Where was I?
REG:
I think you’d finished.
FRANCIS:
Oh. Right.
REG:
Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man—
STAN:
Or woman.
REG:
Why don’t you shut up about women, Stan. You’re putting us off.
STAN:
Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS:
Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN:
I want to be one.
REG:
What?
STAN:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me ‘Loretta’.
REG:
What?!
LORETTA:
It’s my right as a man.
JUDITH:
Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA:
I want to have babies.
REG:
You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:
It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
REG:
But... you can’t have babies.
LORETTA:
Don’t you oppress me.
REG:
I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA:
[crying]
JUDITH:
Here! I— I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG:
What’s the point?
FRANCIS:
What?
REG:
What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!
FRANCIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
Um, that you're tolerant of the views of others in a free society? Oh, that's right, it's only when the views agree with your own that you're tolerant.
“My question is this: What does it say to our students by inviting her here, someone who has at one point or another blatantly insulted at least half of those enrolled here? Even more fundamentally, what does it say about us?”
It says that somewhere, somehow, there are folks who believe you can tolerate an opinion differing from your deep indoctrination without peeing in your pants. It says that there is this system of thinking called “rationality”, that, while it calls upon you to do the arduous work of utilizing some of those neurons allegedly being cultivated between your ears, does not rely upon your fearfully rejecting any differing opinion by reflexively calling it “racism” as a crude defense mechanism. Indeed, it is just a variation of the “tolerance” you speak of, except of a different opinion than one you may now have. And the idea is that by using those neurons, like biceps and leg muscles, over time and with continued use, you might just become what we call a “thinking person” instead of a victim of your own fearful reactions. And developing this trait in you is the general idea of why your parents spend between $6,000 and $40,000 a year sending you to an institution of higher learning. See how it works?
The bottom line is: There are those who have more faith in your inherent intellectual worth than you yourselves do. This function is called “learning”, and one of the prerequisites to this learning is that you cease believing that you, at your just-over-pubescent age, have all the answers. You’ll just have to take that part on faith. And it may be uncomfortable for a minute, this mental expansion opportunity you’re being afforded, but many people before you, for thousands of years, have gone to schools, advanced their educations, and bettered themselves. Now, isn’t America great, to give you that special chance? How’d you like to be a part of it or what it could be if it wasn’t filled with fearful drones who cannot think for themselves?
Oh cry me a river, Loretta.
This is America, deal with it. And we won’t be silenced especially during this administration.
So grow a thicker skin or get psychotherapy.
Nobody ever pays attention to those guest speakers on college campus anyway. At least I never did.
I take that back. I went to see carrot top when he came to my campus. But that was just to make fun of him. He was still skinny back then.
By being tolerant and accepting of Ann Coulter. Who is definitely different than you and your gay friends.
Apparently, the author believes that there isn't a single conservative in this oh-so-diverse campus that wants to hear a voice in the wilderness.
Al Qaida good, Ann Coulter bad!!
sounds like the little pantywaist who wrote this piece isn’t tolerant. what a bigot.
Last time I checked, “Muslim” is not a race. Further, her comments about Jews were not about the Hebrew race, but the Jewish religion, so that’s not racist either. I’m not quite sure it speaks well of a college to have editorials that don’t even contain an understanding of a simple term like “racist”.
She really does know to rile them up.
Can you imagine the lawsuits if they ever actually caught her actually speaking/writing an untruth?
