What whaaa whaaa.
My favorite candidate didn’t win the presidency
This somehow equates to the senseless murder of 3,000 innocent Americans at the hands of Islamic terrorists?

Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.

When Republican Donald Trump was elected president last week, the intelligent, determined young women of Converse College lost their minds.

Both of them?

The student lied....

Converse College released a statement Wednesday referring to the classroom incident, saying the student was “NOT Ejected From Class”:

An article was recently posted online claiming a Converse student was ejected from class after expressing a political viewpoint in opposition to her faculty member. The faculty member and student involved have asked Converse to convey that this claim is untrue and to clarify the situation. The student was not removed from class. There was a discussion in the class regarding the outcome of the election in which the faculty member and the student disagreed. The student was given the opportunity to leave class and she chose to do so. Both parties have resolved the situation to their full satisfaction, and the professor has apologized to the student as well as to the other members of the class.

Converse College strongly supports civil discussion of different perspectives among all of its community members. In any case where we discover that this principle has been violated, Converse has and will continue to take appropriate action. In an address to the full faculty and staff this week, President Newkirk reiterated the College’s policy on academic freedom and added, “I urge you to be careful about stating your personal political views in the classroom and potentially creating an environment where the students believe that there is only one right opinion, or only one right opinion on our campus or in your class. We must be open to other points of view and allow students to explore these issues in the public discourse.

ANOTHER good reason to put the adults in charge - defund these leeches!

“The United States Department of Education (ED or DoED), also referred to as the ED for (the) Education Department, is a Cabinet-level department of the United States government. Recreated by the Department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88) and signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 17, 1979, it began operating on May 4, 1980.

The Department of Education Organization Act divided the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Department of Education is administered by the United States Secretary of Education. It is by far the smallest Cabinet-level department, with about 5,000 employees. It has an annual budget of US$73 Billion (2016).”

Translation: The student was told to "get the F out of my class" by the indoctrinator aka "teacher".

Trump didn’t just defeat the Wicked Witch, he broke the Liberals. They are still in shock over his victory. They are such collectivists they even collectively had a nervous breakdown. It’s fun to watch.

All of this boils down to “the globalists are scared”.

How come males aren’t allowed to attend this college? Give these anti-male colleges a dose of there own medicine and fight for the right for men to go to college there.

What a teachable moment the College had here.

“Yes, we want a women to break the glass ceiling, but it is vitally important that woman not be a criminal.”

That should have been the guiding philosophy here. It obviously wasn’t.

Here women were thinking with their “female part”. Men get charged with something akin to that all the time. When they get accused of it, it’s supposed to be funny. It’s not funny, and it’s not meant to be funny here.

For eight years we have discussed how terrible it is that Blacks were first represented by what we have come to believe is a traitor. It’s a slap in the face of every Black person in the nation, that Obama was foisted up on stage as the first Black president. Even though they voted for it in large numbers, others helped.

Here women thought it was more important that a female was president than that a good person was president. They actually wanted to wave all her criminality, just so a woman could have the job.

Who cares if it’s a person who may abuse power as she has for decades, and this time from the White House. It’s more important that a woman have the job.

Stupidity like this is difficult to describe other than outing the group who had that collective brain failure.

The faculty at this college should be ashamed of themselves, and if my daughter were going there I’d yank her out of then with ten minutes of hearing about this.
