Insane liberal chickens coming home to roost ...

The recent wave of student protests is aimed at liberal professors and administrators.
Current student anger eerily fits the pattern of most left-wing unrest, from the cycles of the French Revolution to the campus riots of the 1960s.
First, protests gradually grow more extreme. Venom is directed at fellow leftists who are deemed insufficiently radical.
In revolutionary France, wild-eyed Jacobins soon guillotined reformist Girondins, who were considered passé. During the Russian Revolution, extremist Bolsheviks marginalized liberal Mensheviks. In the 1960s, many members of the SDS and Black Panthers hated liberals who disapproved of their violence.
A group called the Black Justice League wants the name of liberal but bigoted President Woodrow Wilson removed from Princeton University. Liberals are aghast that the century-old memory of their progressive hero might vanish from the Princeton campus.
Radical students bully liberal deans, crowd into the offices of college presidents, disrupt students in libraries, and shout down public speakers.

The most that one can say is that the BLM group is guiding the university crowd to terminate the insiders and hire only BLM-supported characters.
This would typically mean some type of agenda and handcuffing of the future of these institutions to BLM and some social message theme.
Realistically....why would I give Junior $90,000 for a college that drifts in and out of threats, riots, demonstrations, and a board that might not be concerned with higher learning? I’d start to demand that Junior only attend particular schools and BLM-schools would start to be labeled as ‘problems’. You can guess the scenario that occurs with this type of identification.
How would downsize a university staff then....as bloated as they are?
They are impaled on the horns of a dilemma. They can’t boot them out or their source of inflated income would dry up...and most would have a hard time earning a living if their value was tied to their productivity on the open market.

Reality doesn't touch their minds.
It's all rainbows and unicorns.
In the basement laboratories of the Political Science wings, Progressive Faculty and Administrators Declare in Unison:
IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE!

What do you expect? The kids are told by their parents from age 2 that they will attend college and that if will be paid for by parents, loans, scholarships. For the white kids, that’s limited to parents and loans.
No one ever tells their kid that they’ll have to “work their way through college and we’ll help.” That would be mean. It would be bad parenting. If word got out in the Homeowners Association meeting or at their consumerist church, they’d be pariahs for not loving their child enough.
So, Junior goes off to college with an entitlement attitude and meets up with professors and other entitled kids who build that attitude into what we see today.
Parents made spoiled brats. College perfected it.
It is pathetic yet entertaining when the asshat/moonbat student losers confront the moonbat/asshat faculty/administration. LIBs are such a laugh riot. Losers all.

That’s why I cheer for the students. I hope they take it all the way to the point where they claim that white toilet paper is racist and they refuse to wipe as a way of protesting. I love watching liberal agendas collide.
I wonder what percentage of the protesters are engineering and math majors, or even business majors vs psychology, journalism, or race/gender studies majors?
Also, college campuses are the last places where unemployed, unemployable people have an audience.
I bet most of the “protesters” are taking non-science (nonsense?) classes. Probably, they are in the process of flunking out...they just don’t know it as yet. What losers in life.
About a decade or so ago, they had a woman from Canada as their president.
A well-to-do alumni family gave the school $25M to endow a chair of Western Civilization (Studies?).
The chick from the Great White North spent the money on every thing but what the money was designated for.
Princeton may have had to return the $25M.

Not true in my family.
I have a granddaughter attending a pricy University,. She found an on campus job in her freshman year and continues to work this year.
The grandchildren who are in high-school all work part time and will continue to do se when they attend college.

>>I have a granddaughter attending a pricy University,. She found an on campus job in her freshman year and continues to work this year.
She earns enough to pay for a “pricy” university?? Does she even earn enough to pay half of the cost?

Beats me. My daughter and son-in-law are the parents and their finances are none of my business.

Well, I was talking about kids having some significant skin in the game when paying for their own education. I’ve found that students at community college and inexpensive state schools pay a larger contribution than those at the pricey schools (percentage-wise and in actual dollars).
I like Victor Davis Hanson’s writing. Thanks for posting.
Me too. Seems like I see less and less of him lately.
