Chaos on campus: Students protest, call for heads to roll at schools around country
Fox News ^ | 11/13/2015

Chaos swept over college campuses around the nation Thursday, as the ousters of the embattled University of Missouri system's president and chancellor earlier this week were followed by dozens of other student protests calling for more faculty and staff heads to roll.

A popular professor at Missouri said he resigned Wednesday after students lashed out at him for pledging to give a scheduled exam amid spiraling protests, but the university said Thursday it rejected his resignation.

The Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College in California, Mary Spellman, resigned in a letter to the community Thursday, after some at the school called for hunger strikes over what they perceived as a lack of support for students of color.

Students at Ithaca College in New York, Yale University and Vanderbilt University in Tennessee were also calling to ax administrators, and even more campuses were pledging solidarity with the burgeoning social justice movement.

As many as 20 other campuses around the country were planning marches Thursday, including St. John's, Syracuse and Columbia universities in New York, Harvard and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Disaffected students at Loyola University in Chicago and the University of Michigan were preparing a list of demands and threatening action, according to The Seattle Times. Black alumni at Georgia Tech were crafting a letter to that university's president, urging a continued commitment to diversity.

“Don’t be surprised when these punks turn against the teachers and administrators and murder them like did in China during the cultural revolution.”

I was thinking the same thing.

“The dear little children who can�€™t stand to hear something they don�€™t like are going to be hit with chaos in a short time when the dollar loses its status as the petrodollar and singular reserve currency.”

Bingo! We have a winner. Unfortunately the time tested solution to the problem is war.

Look to see a reemergence of the draft or at least some serious consideration of doing so. All this is looking like a replay of the 60’s

Conservatives shouldn’t be sitting back gloating that the leftist administrators are getting what they deserve — this type of behavior needs to be smashed.

That’s what’s so schadenfreude-y about it. They did it to themselves, through their brainwashing of the uneducated brains that arrived at their doors for decades......................

This is the OWS of 2016.

That occurred to me also. But OWS only had the power to close down a street now and again. But these folks have to power to shut down football programs, college campuses, etc. They are much more dangerous.

Agreed. But, like in the story, Dr. Frankenstein (the Leftists) may be underestimating their ability to control the monster they are creating.

Timing is everything. First, let them purge the University system. Then, we step in and restore sanity.

I have to think that at some point, these butt hurt little cry babies are going to get smacked in the face with reality. There is no racism, and there is no oppression. There is only their infantile stupidity, ignorance, and victimhood mentality, none of which are going to get them very far in life.

University presidents and chancellors should get a grip on their jobs and start throwing these bums

It's already begun, albeit mildly physical. That's called HUBRIS and induces much Schadenfreude...

They can't handle the simplex tableau in their quantitative methods weed-out class, so they want the professor fired?

Well, they NEED to reach out to anything that can enable them to evade the reality that they must be inferior!

For the retarded and thugees, the ultimate and most useful education and erudition is physical violence.

Q.E.D.

“The dim party platform”

Its a trap! They know conservative are law and order types. And will side with the law at the expense of the Ute vote.

My advice is to stay out of this trap. Let the Campi geniuses figer it out without Republican/ conservative intervention.

This is a side show Kabuki theatre. The War on College Children.

This problem is for the local Campi and does not rise to the level of presidential politics.

How about they drop the near worthless “students” from being enrolled at the school?
