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

Absolutely gorgeous state that I would think about living in along with many other parts of New England EXCEPT that a portion of the people are bat sh*t crazy and run most of the state. I think half the country is mentally ill and seriously unhinged to the point of psychosis.

Vermont tried to implement a state-wide universal healthcare system. It was an abject failure.

Is skiing still allowed in VT, or is that too white?

...Charles Murray and a Middlebury professor were insulted and assaulted there in 2016...I saw part of a Q&A with this professor in C-Span not long ago - superficially she sounded quite sane - she's for open communication on campus, feels sympathy for conservative professors who are afraid to speak out at Middlebury and elsewhere, wants people to be responsible for what they say and advocate - drilling down a bit though and the going gets rough - she has a rule in her classroom that anytime a student says something that offends another, the offendee gets to halt the class discussion and ask for an apology from the offender, who must apologize - the offender apparently can then return to talking about whatever it was that offended to begin with - I wish that Brian Lamb, the interviewer, had asked her if the offender had to recant whatever he had said that started the trouble or if it was understood that he was permitted to continue to hold the same beliefs - and why she didn't just have all students stipulate at the beginning of every class that they were sorry if they offended anyone to save time - I think she went 'round the bend long ago......

Vermont used to be a good place to live until liberals from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and NYC invaded them.
