This spring, visiting professor Ryszard Legutko was prevented from speaking at Vermont's prestigious Middlebury College due to strident opposition by extremist and intolerant students. This was the second such embarrassment for the college: writer Charles Murray and a Middlebury professor were insulted and assaulted there in 2016.
Professor Legutko recently related his perspective on the experience, revealing that the college not only caved to the disruptive and disrespectful students, but legitimized their conduct! Further, the students have set out to proscribe future discourse that might again ignite their sociopathic anarchy.
Last year, our nation's children walked out of high schools to complain about school shootings. Encouraged by teachers and principals, these students proclaimed that they would finally end school violence by effecting changes to national gun laws. Many have praised these optimistic youths; others have condemned them. Both approaches are wrong.
Addressing the rebellion of America's youth in the 1960s, writer Wendell Berry remarked that "this generation is as subject as any other to intelligent scrutiny and judgment, and as deserving of honest criticism. It has received much approbation and condemnation, very little criticism" ("Discipline and Hope," 1970). Mr. Berry argued that the '60s youths correctly criticized their parents' world but that without guidance, they eventually embraced those same values in new forms. Thus, the Flower Children took root in Silicon Valley, where they now grow bald while the military complex and industrial waste flourish.

Well from reading about the revolution the students instigated it and then the workers joined in.
Students are never the instigators. The are 5he useful idiots.
Source = internet searches.
That sounds almost oxymoronic. Competition is so Bourgeois and capitalistic!
I dont want to kowtow to democrat politicians, who by definition do not have the maturity or life experience to have realistic opinions about anything.
“Source = internet searches.”
All contradicting your post.
Keep searching. A good source is the biography of Stalin and Trotsky.
They all contradict you.
I would not have posted if true.
Yes, and that is how civilizations disappear.
Lord of the flies on a grand scale.
“I would not have posted if true.”
ROTFLMAO!
“I read what I read and you read what you read”
And all that I read falsifies your post.
” If at anytime people want a correct answer they’d post something incorrect and would wind up getting all sorts of correct answers. “
huh?
When people post something that someone else thinks it’s wrong they go all out trying to prove they’re right and you’re wrong. So if you want the correct answer to something just post it and you’ll get all sorts of “corrected” answers.
“When people post something that someone else thinks its wrong they go all out trying to prove theyre right and youre wrong. So if you want the correct answer to something just post it and youll get all sorts of corrected answers.”
Is that your way of saying you posted fake news in order to find out the truth?
*sigh* No. Let it go. Bye.
“*sigh* No. Let it go. Bye.”
Why?
“Going”? That’s like saying Michael Moore is getting fat.
