Leftist students at the University of California, Berkeley recently attempted to shut down their own mid-term exam, demanding a take-home exam in its place.
As seen in a video posted on YouTube, four students demanded a take-home essay with significant time to prepare instead of the scheduled in-class exam, though Professor Harley Shaiken adamantly refused their request.

Oddly enough, this is actually the logical result of applying what the liberal/communist profs want for the rest of society. My comparative political systems prof in 1980 should have called his class "Soviet Communism Here and Now." He was all for "workers controlling the means of production" and all that. I should have told him that I agreed with him completely. In fact, students should control the means of production of grades. We could all voter ourselves "As" for the course and gone to the bar for some beers.
I wonder how he would have reacted to having his theories applied against him. It seems to me that is exactly what just happened at Berkley.
I'm guessing that Cal-Berkeley isn't one of those schools provided you get a degree in a real discipline. The vast majority of the students are not lunatics.
Absolutely right. Replace all those Western dead white men and their theories with their African equivalents. You know...guys like Newton, Pythagoras, Euler, Reynolds, Volta, Watt, Planck, Bohr, Galilei, Tesla, Pasteur, Faraday, Edison, Copernicus, Kepler, Maxwell and thousands more. What did they ever do to deserve such fame? We should use all the suppressed African discoveries instead.
