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.

Anyway, it was a mostly suburban white audience and he was describing to us the kind of smarts that inner city youth have for survival that more privileged youth never develop. An example he used is "can you imagine leaving a child from the suburbs off in the inner city and tell them where they had to go to get to a doctor's appointment, give them a bus schedule, and tell them "figure it out". Point taken....base inner city teaching on real life experiences. By the way, this absolute genius of a teacher did not believe "the disadvantaged" should be given special breaks...it keeps them dependent and enslaved.
What's my point? I could find a very special place on the east side of Cleveland to leave them off these spoiled brats and tell them to figure out the bus schedule to get to a room they can stay in, cross town!
And finally, all protestors will be given participation trophies.
They need to transfer these little trendy idiots to Amherst’s North Korea campus. They’ll get a good education in quashing free speech.
Those pitiful white brats need to apologize for ever being born.
Um, that is an oxymoron...
There's a mouthful.
These "students" are not what is pathetic. Embarrassingly pathetic is the administrators that created this and are currently grabbing their ankles to make it easier to get sodomized by these wankers.
I’m Jewish and have never felt the need to ask any U.S. institution to apologize for a ‘legacy of antisemitism’.
Amherst COLLEGE is an expensive private liberal arts college, not the same as the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
They have hipster capella singing groups that are quite obnoxious.
Kids graduate with double majors in liberal arts and stratospheric student debt.
Isn’t that precious. LOL!
These college administrators have sold to the students, that very rope that the students are now using to hang them.
Let these leftard scum squirm for a while. Eventually we ar going to have to have another Kent State moment when this communist nonsense gets put down.
I for one have had more than I can tolerate of them. They are itching to start Civil War 2 which will not end well for them since they are the least prepared.
What makes you think they’re white?
...as they wear their t-shirts that read: I’m Glad I Are A College Student
They forgot to add the newest isms.
Dumbism, Stupidism, Idiocyism, and the many more isms that describe these nuts.
Just guessing ..... Amherst .... Mass ....
Considering the kind of parents they probably had, it’s a miracle they WERE born.
Hmmmmm....maybe some of us “white-folk” can incorporate a “facility of higher learning”, charge each of these “whiney-babies” $250/head and give them certificates from
University of Renselaer - Antigua
Are these children really THAT stupid?
BLM seems to be involved in most of these events.
For a very long time opposing viewpoints have not been welcome on most College and University campuses.
That these infants do not want free speech should not be a surprise to the nitwit professors and administrators who have promoted this idiocy.
They didn’t miss much did they? :)
I agree with you on the administrators and I’ll add the tenured profs.
The next step is demanding that college education is free.
