We demand the creation of a position that will support undocumented students. Not to be outdone, a coalition of dozens of faculty and staff have signed their own letter, and it’s one of the most craven academic documents I’ve ever read. It begins: We acknowledge that all of us who have power within the institution share responsibility for the racist actions of others. Furthermore, those of us who are white bear a particularly large share of that responsibility. We acknowledge that we have a great deal of work to do in order to honor and live up to the demands made by student leaders during last week’s protests. .
i love how you guys need to call a bunch of kids a liberal mob because you dont have much else to go after. so petty
You have to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast when he had the professor on. Rogan's reaction to all this is priceless. He was more shocked than I was.
These idiots are obviously being controlled by the administration to create a bigger administration. University administrations are already way to big and tuition far too high.
lets judge conservatives by the 33% percent that are stupid racists with guns vs the handful of liberal activists 18 year olds as a scary uncontrollable mob armed with textbooks
The obsession with TV news consumption is really strange. I don't think I've watched a non-Anthony Bourdain minute of CNN in the last six months, but somehow they are wholly representative of liberals? I find these SJWs to be distasteful and totally misguided in their beliefs and tactics. Thought as insular as theirs could only flourish in the luxury of fringe academia. I'd never even heard of this college until these videos were posted. No, they do not represent the millions of liberals in this country.
So a professor was publicly accosted and harassed because of his race. Where are the CF liberals? Oh wait, that's right: we only have illiberals.
Again: it's ridiculously regressive and wrong. But I'm not convinced, as you seem to be, that the outsized viewership of misguided students at a small liberal arts school in Washington state represents a larger trend applicable to tens of millions of Americans.
There are not tens of millions of illiberal CF members, and not all of which are American. Also, what makes you think these students are "misguided"?
They've bought into an ideology that places outsized importance on minority attributes at the expense of everything else. It's a belief set that can only be manifested on campuses because, once they graduate, they'll find that the majority of people are unsympathetic to their total focus identity. People care about what affects their lives directly, not abstract claims of supremacy and oppression, and won't be as willing to engage in self-flagellation as insular university staff. There are tangible problems in this world and extreme SJWs do very little to address them. They are politically stupid in that their aggressive labeling and denigration of white people will never reap tangible progress toward whatever end they seek. As long as there are problems in this country like increasing rates of poverty, drug addiction, unnecessary medical bankruptcies, political cowardice, infant mortality, etc., the SJW wave will continue to be nothing more than a boogeyman amplified by YouTube. You're right, I interpreted your broad brushstrokes about "illiberals" as applying to people outside of this board. Sorry about that. I still think you're being unfair.
their action is "mob like". By the way, these kids are mostly bunch of illegal aliens or anchor babies demanding for their "rights"
mob-like?????? You mean a gathering of people but it's not quite a mob. "The crowd at the Toyota Center was mob-like"
if these children are not suspended/expelled, they will continue to behave like children inmates have taken over the asylum
