A group of students at Seattle University have taken over a university dean's office, saying they won't leave unless the dean resigns and the school grants a set of demands that would heavily politicize the humanities curriculum.

Matteo Ricci College is one of eight schools at Seattle University, and focuses on the study of humanities. But the students who have taken over dean Jodi Kelly's office say the college's current curriculum is utterly stifling, and they have published a lengthy list of demands for changes.

Chief among their demands is an order for the school to adopt a new curriculum that "decentralizes Whiteness and has a critical focus on the evolution of systems of oppression such as racism, capitalism, colonialism, etc." The curriculum should be taught by "professors of color and queer professors" and should place particular emphasis not on traditional educational concepts but instead on "racism, gentrification, sexism, colonialism, imperialism, global white supremacy, and other ethical questions about systems of power."

This entire bunch of idiot white kids should all be arrested for trespassing and thrown in jail. Then they could mix with the part of society that they have been brainwashed by the media to worship.

The only thing wrong with the spraying of mace picture is they were not using sarin.

Appeasement and accommodation only breeds more and more demands. Schools need to start confronting the disruptors and trespassers. Start arresting and expelling these students and paid agitators or simply turn the schools over to them.

Stalin did this with the farmers.
Democrats are doing it with our children.
Frankly, it’s too late, the infestation
has taken root.

They just keep proving it was a mistake for the Old Boomers to believe that everyone should go to college, bring back trade school, vocational schools.

Just continue on like they are not there. If they don’t go to class, they fail and let nature take its course. Could also close the doors and not let anyone or anything in, shut off the water and electric and see how long they can hold out without their iPhones.

There is no feedback path.

These people are running open loop.

As one of my (few decent) professors once said: if a pole moves into the right half-plane, something will happen to move it into the left-half plane, and that something may be outside the system itself.

The engineers out there will understand this (some may remember it).

Once you are forced into using the lexicon of the left,
you’ve lost. It’s that simple.
