Hamilton College Students Demand Free-Speech Ban and Want White Faculty Out of Leadership
Daily Beast ^ | December 1, 2015 | Emily Shire

A group of students at Hamilton College, known only as The Movement, has given new meaning to the expression “everything but the kitchen sink” in a list of demands—“Demands by Hamilton College,” no less—sent to the college’s president.

Limiting freedom of speech; discouraging white faculty from leading departments; hiring of financial advisers to solely work with students of color; allocating student government seats specifically for “marginalized and underrepresented groups;” and erecting a statue in honor of the Oneida Native Americans are all among the demands.

If there’s no free speech, no one has to let these students talk.

Every bit of this, ALL of the various movements at the various schools, comes out of the whitehouse. The president HIMSELF has foment ed this. PERIOD.

This is one case of “blowback” that I’m very happy to have occur.

The school should write them a letter declining their request and inviting them to leave and take their demands (and their money) to some other “institute of higher learning”.

Last I heard, students don't have a right to go to a particular university. They apply, and are accepted...or rejected.

Hamilton College should just kick them out.

This is just comical at this point.

I hope these educators have fun dealing with the little monsters they created.

Its going to be even funnier when this ‘everyone gets a trophy’ generation has to make it in the real world.

Trivia question for extra credit: What is the name of the little upstate New York town in which Hamilton College is located?

Hamilton was on my short list of college choices.

I have NO regrets that I didn’t go there

>> A group of students at Hamilton College, known only as The Movement

At least they picked an appropriate name for themselves.

I wonder if it’s an all-Chocolate Movement, or if there’s some white flakes embedded in it, here and there.

So right you are.

Another part of this is that all Obama has to do is move his left hand slightly during some speech or press conference and the signal is responded to at once.

These guys are primed and waiting for the slightest of signals.

Who says Obama has no leadership skills.

What’s odd is that it’s a private liberal arts college and barely has 2,000 students. Way up in northern part of the state. It’s one of those colleges that is barely surviving at present.

This “Movement” is undoubtedly a halfdozen spoiled entitled kids that drink too much redbull and smoke too much weed and have never seen the back of a woodshed.
This list of demands should be immediately wadded up and tossed in the garbage and the kids be told to stop causing distractions.
