No, we are raising bully kids.

Fragile kids would not be subverting everything they touch.

Thus, the whole concept of this peculiar “safe zone” where kids can avoid reality and accountibility.

My own theory is that this is “Occupy [your town here]” version 2.0

Or “Occupy Campuses”

As idiot Nazi Pelosi said about ‘Occupy Wall street’ -”it’s wonderful and spontaneous and blah blah blah...” (not sure if she actually said the words blah blah blah)

So spontaneous that they had food tents set up with hired caterers and servers, and paid protesters.

And NO ONE in the media asked who was paying them.

This college campus thing started with campus sexual assault epidemic, that turned out to be one moron carrying a mattress around, who later was proven to be a liar.

Despite that they continue with this ‘campus assault’ meme, and now have added ‘safe areas’ where hypersensitivity to any perceived OR MANUFACTURED slight is magnified 1000 and advanced as legitimate grievance requiring SOME ACTION BE TAKEN!!!

I think the administrator who resigned was part of it- They promised him a cushy job elsewhere maybe?

No one who rises to that level (ON MERIT) would resign over such stupidity.

This is the culmination of LBJ’s “Great Society”

A generation born to the generation who were given handouts by LBJ to destroy family life.

“Fragile” is now the euphemism for “spoiled rotten sheltered brats?”

Perhaps we should pull out the Kent State history and review things.

After the Kent State shooting...numerous parents got worried and either immediately pulled their kids from the school, or waited til the semester concluded to pull the kid.

It did not take more than a few weeks for Kent State management realize their “brand name” was screwed up. So, they went did some radical things.

They terminated students who were aggravated triggers. They told them to go elsewhere.

They hired up their own security or police force, and did not rely upon the state or the local city for enforcement issues anymore.

They also brought professors in and told them to clean up or get fired.

****Yes, they are between 20 and 30+ years old. ****

The same average age as the MEN who stormed Normandy and Iwo Jima. What a difference between people then and now!

I think we need to look at this in a deeper light.

This is a purposely propagandized political movement to manufacture “racism”. There are Democrat Party political operatives actively stoking this fake “Racism”on Social media. Black Lives matters, the MO college campus etc are being staged.

I don’t know how many of you have teenagers but my teenagers are upset almost daily but this Instagram or Snap Chat or Facebook posting about this or that supposed racial attack. Once this crap is posted, it goes viral almost instantly

Look the Left needs their voter base fired up in 2016. The bulkwork of Democrat votes is the Black vote. They won in 2008 and 2012 by turning our record number of black votes. In 2016 they have NO candidates who appeal to that voter block. The Leftist machine must find a way to fire up that base. These fake “racists” attacks are the tool they are using.

We need some investigative reporters to start digging hard into this. I suspect you will find that these “racist reports” are being purposefully fed into social media by a very very few sources
