All of the Cultural Revolutionaries complaining should be expelled for racism. Time to go woke on them.

One hopes that these fascist students will receive the same level of forgiveness that they so enthusiastically foist on others.

What fools we are for caring one bit what a bunch of snotty, immature, barely-out-of-diapers children say or think. They need to sit down, shut up, and do their homework. Then get a job.

At one time the purpose of college was to teach how to think and how to learn. Today it is simply indoctrination.

It is amazing how good a job they have done.

He should have screened Mel Brook’s BLAZING SADDLES. Their heads full of mush would explode.

The Wokesters are strong enough to follow Sinema into the Toilet to harrass her . . .

but feel triggered and unsafe watching a movie based on a Shakespeare play.

“Are you offended? Good! Twerps like you with tiny Woke minds need to be offended. A lot.”

It’s better to go out in a blaze of glory than try to go along to get along.

A pet peeve of mine is judging classical literature and art from 500-600+ years ago by 21st century liberal left standards. That was not the world these people lived in and created in. It’s history. You look at it with an open mind to try and understand the era they lived in, not judge it.

The lesson here for all?

NEVER! NEVER! APOLOGIZE WHEN YOU BELIEVE YOU DID NOTHING ILLEGAL OR “WRONG!”

Doubt anyone at the University of Michigan has the courage to stop this anti intellectual nonsense. This is what happens when people who do not have the intellectual capacity for higher learning and cannot cope with the subject matter are openly patronized by guilt ridden wimps.

Exactly. It probably won't end yet either. Today's Communist "activists" like this are not sane by any measure.

The irony is that in most opera productions of Otello,white singers play Otello in dark makeup as Olivier did.

If he had shown them Orson Welles' film of Othello, I wonder if the students would have known Welles was white? It's in black and white and Welles' makeup is quite good.

This is chilling, although not surprising. The Left is constantly on the lookout for more people to prosecute. After all, Madame Guillotine must be fed.

Side note to the limousine liberals: Don't look so smug. Any one of you could be next.

So now Asians are also racist. Seems like the only non-racists are black people.

They shouldn’t include quotes by un-named students. Quotes without ownership are worthless.
