What University "Snowflakes" Are Really About
Frontpagemag.com ^ | April 6,2016 | Bruce Thornton

America’s privileged students at elite colleges and universities continue to be traumatized by speech they find “hurtful” and “threatening.” Last November at Yale it was a faculty email suggesting that students should lighten up on policing Halloween costumes for racial insensitivity. At the University of Missouri, some students were offended by the administration’s failure to investigate and punish alleged racial slurs. A Harvard student recently told FOX News’ Meghan Kelly that displaying the American flag in a dorm room or just being in the same class with a pro-life student is hurtful and insensitive.

“They know they have found a way to shut up anyone they disagree with, and to shut down any position or viewpoint they disagree with. It’s working. Of course they’re going to continue to use this method”

Yep, until the rest of isis gets here, they aren’t gonna care all that much.

The explanation for these delusional paranoids is easy- it’s the new marijuana they are smoking. 30% smoke the stuff regularly and 15% of those develop cannabis psychosis or about 5% of the total college population.

” Once a protected space for truth, independent thought, and free speech, now universities are training centers for left-wing cadres and commissars intolerant of political heresy and opposing points of view. “

They are not just intolerant of political heresy, it’s any deviation from extreme political correctness. These are dangerous people who some day soon will be climbing the political ladder to positions of power. They are the future red guard who given the opportunity will gladly put their opponents into a forced labor or extermination camp.

What happened at Missouri was completely fabricated by Several of the same Africans that burned and looted Ferguson.

Funny thing about them; I don’t think they are immune to a 7.62x51 from a SCAR-H.

Right now though, I’d settle for punching a few of them in the face.

Exactly. They’ve figured out playing the victim card provides them full control in the victim culture this country has currently degenerated into.

I would suggest this person lock themselves in a closet and never come out. They are incapable of dealing with life.

They don’t want to be protected.

They want control. They want to control what you are allowed to say.

No wonder Donald Trump is so popular because he is so un-PC.

I’m not so sure Trump doesn’t want to control what we say. Look at how he reacts to criticism.

The Fascist-Flakes are just using a strategy to get everyone to “submit”. Sound familiar?

I didn’t make that up, but it is a great description.

I no longer consider Ivy League graduates when looking for employees. Memorizing a book better than others doesn’t correlate with having common sense.
