The ‘Yale snowflakes’: who made these monsters?

Video footage of Yale students losing the plot over a faculty head and his wife, who said everyone should calm down about Halloween, has caused much head-shaking in liberal circles. And it isn’t hard to see why. The head’s crime was that his wife sent an email suggesting academics and students should chill out about ‘culturally insensitive’ Halloween costumes. It’s okay, the email said, to be a ‘little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive’ on this one day. For his wife issuing this mildest of rebukes to over-sensitive over-18s, the head was accosted by a mob of students insisting the email made them feel unsafe. When he told the crowd that he thinks university is about providing education, not a ‘safe home’, they screamed at him to ‘step down!’. ‘Who the fuck hired you?!’, the most unhinged of the students cries.

This came out on the 9th and it's pretty obvious by the past few days events that the downward swirl continues. Sorry if you're offended snowflakes. Get over it.

The hard core left is being devoured by even more radical leftists. They created this mob and now it will destroy them. No sympathy here.

I’m hoping this is going to destroy higher education. That I even said that shows how as a country we’ve failed. Without higher education, perhaps these snowflakes and sjws will have to attend vocational school or sit home on their parents’ money until their parents wake up and kick them in the slats.

Yep.

Universities and their unchecked liberalism and leftism has brought this along.

The odd thing is the baby commie students are more right than the Prof, in that universities did and are supposed to provide safe havens and environments.

Liberals did away with that decades ago. And they also made these little Stalin kids have an insane idea of what a safe environment would be.

LOL! Who made these monsters? Yale had a hand in it. Now they reap the fruits of the insanity of liberalism (totalitarianism).

A daddy Leftist saddled a mommy Leftist with a child.

She was going to do her Socialist duty and abort the fetal tissue, but she realized it was her duty as a New Socialist Womyn to raise a future progressive to advance The Glorious Cause.

Closing down liberal arts degree programs would end 90% of this.

Kids with real majors have no time for it.

Their parents are the reason.

Parents that range from already insane leftists to lazy conservatives.

They all think they are the most special, and creative people to ever walk the face of the Earth. Social media + YouTube has given them the impression that they have real power and control. And to a certain extent they are right.

All it takes is one of these brats, a made-up story, and a hashtag, and these people can end careers, ruin businesses, and drive people to suicide. So why is it any shock to see them making “demands” to universities and physically assaulting people?

The ‘Yale snowflakes’: who made these monsters?

Is this a rhetorical question? For decades, conservatives have been screaming at the top of their lungs that liberalism is nothing short of totalitarianism, and now that those mindless moron indoctrinators (i.e. libtard professors and politicians) are being overrun by their creations, they feign ignorance regarding why the snowflake fascists are revolting against them.

Yale needs to integrate more with the rest of New Haven.

For education and learning, not this fascist/commie safe haven crap to psychologically crippled children!

Same ninnies who claim the right to have a safe place to drink up, smoke up, or shoot up substances that are killing them.

The worrying thing is that these radicals will eventually rise to power and will have no qualms about executing those who are not “pure enough”. It always happens. Keep you powder dry and your gun handy.
