Amherst College students protest free speech fliers, seek punishment for offenders

Student protesters at Amherst College issued a list of demands Thursday which include disciplinary action and mandatory "racial and cultural competency" training for students behind a series of signs on campus that lamented the death of free speech.

The group Amherst Uprising is demanding that university President Biddy Martin issue a statement saying the university does "not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the 'All Lives Matter' posters, and the 'Free Speech' posters," which charged that the First Amendment was the "true victim" of the University of Missouri protests, The Daily Beast reported.

The students demanded that the people behind the free speech fliers be required to undergo "extensive training for racial and cultural competency."

They also asked administrators to excuse them from coursework and classes so they could participate in protests and sit-ins, The Daily Beast reported.

President Martin must also apologize for the college's "institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latinx [sic] racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism," the group said.

Three students have also started a started a hunger strike, The Daily Beast reported.

These poor babies claiming to be college students should be recycled starting all over in the first grade.

A simple expulsion would solve a lot of this.

Amherst? These are spoiled brat elitist babies probably without a single honest unprotected encounter with the real world in their whole lives. What they need is a bus ride to Springfield, leave them off for a week with $50 and tell them “good luck surviving on your own”.

The ‘chickens’ of 50 years of public schools run by the progressives coming home to roost.

Nah, Sp’field is too close. They might be able to get back to campus from there on $50. Better to give them $50, and then dump them in Dorchester/Southie.

Could this be the beginning of the end of the "education bubble?"

Will a significant number of people begin to realize that $60,000 per year is a bit much to pay for university?

The internet bubble, the real estate bubble...and hopefully now the education bubble is ready to burst!

I agree.

For the most part the lib commies running these institutions of higher learning for the last 40/50 years have brought this on themselves, they’re now seeing what they’ve opened themselves up for.

Apparently they have not been trained in irony.

Sloth: the sin of otherwise good men doing nothing in the face of evil.

These people are winning simply because they have no resistance.
