Missouri Faculty to Walk Out in Solidarity With Students

One of the alleged incidents, a swastika decorated with feces is still being checked out. If it turns out to be the work of ‘a person of color’, it will, of course disappear down the memory hole—or better yet, a teachable moment showing how the pervasive racism drives said ‘persons of color’ to such desperate acts.

The governor, Nixon, is a democrat and will back the students, just as he backed the rioters in Ferguson. But the General Assembly is firmly in the hands of republicans—conservative republicans with veto-proof majorities in both houses. No matter what Nixon does, there will be negative repercussions for Mizzou if this gets out of hand. If Nixon gets too cute, he’ll find himself impeached.

Missouri (the state) will be saved.

This will be the outcome: The President will be the sacrificial lamb. He will “resign” (he’ll offer his resignation rather then be pushed out). A black man or woman will be appointed President on an interim basis.

The day that happened, if I happened to be a student there, my applications to transfer elsewhere would go into the mail.

The sad question is one of what university would be better.

[Smokin' Joe]

Just as in the 60’s it’s to society’s shame that parents don’t raise their children to know foolishness when they’re taught it. Allowing students to be spoonfed liberal poison from the age of 5 yields adults who are brainwashed and unable to critically think.

What I was wondering is if the students are so eager to kneel at the altar of political correctness and multiculturalism that there is no push back, no support of the President. That just seems strange to me.

If they get the president to resign get ready for boycotts at ten other colleges to demand the resignation of their presidents.

I read somewhere that it is 8% blacks. Probably a good percent of them are scholarship athletes.

See 12. What was the actual incident?

He had transgressed the Unwritten Law.

[Smokin' Joe]

At least ten. Maybe far more. It will be the intellectual equivalent of Zimbabwe.

If the school administration caves into these demands there will be serious repercussions from another direction as well. The school donors may well reduce or stop financially supporting the school.

[elpadre]

that may be true for a few of the big name universities, but the hundreds of other schools playing FB, whose players seldom go professional, many are role models.

[dfwgator]

At Mizzou, Michael Sam is considered a “Role Model.”

If I were a prof at Mizzou, I’d be sure to give a pop quiz in every class I taught today and ding anyone who missed it 10% of their grade. Between the over-entitled students and a whack-job faculty, they’ll shut down the university. OTOH... maybe that’s not a bad thing?!

Actually KCMO is pretty nice. You may not have noticed but the Royals just won the World Series. Almost 1 mil showed up for the parade and the rally and there were only three arrests. No burnings, everybody just having a great time. During the Ferguson riots there was nothing going on here. Over the years we’ve had some feral youth trying to make trouble at the Plaza but that’s now totally under control.

I was at a military school in Lexington MO in the 90s and in Lawrence in the early 2000s.

I always like KCMO area and would not mind living in Leawood, KS Overland Park, KS or Parkville, MO.

Heck, if I could tolerate the liberal stupidity, I could live in Lawrence.

[Gritty]

Liberals fighting Liberals.

What could be more fun to watch?

[hal ogen]

Fire all these LIB idiots: Faculty, students, football players. Fools.

[subterfuge]

Sounds to me like there won’t be an end to this until some blood has been shed. Literally.

[bgill]

It’s not the university’s job to hand hold these little babies on any social issues. Or maybe they are wanting out of midterms.

[FourPeas]

Push back would be seem as racism. Academics like this university president were the ones pushing this concept. He got the logical conclusion of his own policies.
