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

Posted on 12/02/2015 11:27:39 AM PST by C19fan

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.

Our version of Mao's Red Guards continue their march through the higher education system.

The comparison to China's situation is apt. Mao called out the Red Guards as street agitators, to keep opponents off balance, to terrorize what was left of civil society as he tried to change it, and to engage in his fantasy of "permanent revolution."

Do NOT doubt that #BLM, Occupy, etc... have rec'd some direction from the White House as well as government funding. They are acting on the most salient points of Obama's ideology. In turn these movements know that they have sympathy and support at the DOJ and White House, so they know local authorities will treat them with kid gloves. This will last until January 2017. Some activists will view this as a real revolution, so on their own will go beyond anything planned or will go on their own loopy quests, also as we saw in China - until the Chinese Army decided they had seen enough and started to shoot them.

Student admitted on a quota system can’t do the school work & then have too much on their hands to get in trouble.

You are absolutely correct. And I frankly think there is even more to it. There is no doubt in my mind that mass shootings can be fomented too.

I suspect that we will see - as trends develop in the future - that these campus incidents and protests peak right around the campus "drop date," that is the date after which you can no longer drop a course you know you are going to fail.

The leftists on the college campuses thought they would somehow be immune to the crap they put their professors through in the 60s.

The worm is turning.

Only one answer the President/Board of College can reply with.
You don’t like it here then leave, you are FREE to do so.
You disrupt the education of student who want to learn and you will be removed.

Alums must withhold funding from these institutions of lower-morals until the faculty restores sanity.

That came later, as I recall. In the meantime, everyone suffered.

I agree. This is funny. Marxist, white skin hating, white professors getting the boot by their racist creation!

This is too good. : )
