When the most coddled and protected elites of a nation
begin protesting that they are being mistreated and need a “safe space” to
escape the harshness of daily living and the offensive things one sees, hears
and smells during the day, we know we’re in trouble.
In the recent university protests we’ve seen college-level
juveniles lie about college presidents they didn’t like and about professors
they disagreed with, deny first amendment rights to fellow students, threaten
violence when they didn’t get their way, scream at professors who tried to
reason with them, lie about events that did not happen, and make demands that
are stupid at best and unachievable at any rate.
I’d like to see the college president at Missouri who
was forced to resign from his job, which it probably took him years of
dedicated work to achieve, sue his detractors for lying about him, and sue the
university for not defending one of their own administrators against fascist
tactics. But he probably got a princely buy-out from the university if he, as a
good liberal, would just walk away, keep his mouth shut and not make any waves
that would offend the good students of his school.
Perhaps a re-introduction of the time-tested swat
paddle would be good for these protected brats.
They should be ashamed of themselves for disrupting an education that is
beyond the reach of many others who can’t afford the high price of college
today, and especially ashamed should be the son of a millionaire who pretended
to go on a hunger strike because he lost his healthcare to the Obamacare farce. Liberalism and Obama took his healthcare, but
he’s too uninformed to know it.
These poor, sensitive dears, want the police to
investigate the slightest word uttered that they don’t like, yet they loudly make
charges of racism against Asian and black students and professors who have
opinions that differ from themselves, and many of the hated professors likely
had to work to pay for their own educations, not get it free as these young
loons are demanding.
Our precious students have even coined a word to
describe the things they hear daily that offend their sensitive ears:
microaggression. And exactly how these
students will be protected from these microaggressions once they are out of
school and enter the competitive world is still to be determined. They will likely be unable to compete with
the more hardy workers who did not have the umbrella of college to shield them
from the rigors of life. If college
students are offended by simple Halloween costumes, they’ll never succeed
outside the college campus.
What is really lacking in the lives of the protesting
students is a sense of humor and proportion, and they think too much of their
own selfish selves. Not long ago Jerry
Seinfeld and Chris Rock announced that they will no longer be giving concerts
at college campuses because the students either don’t get the humor these
comedians poke at everyone, or they really are too sensitive and unyielding to
listen to it. Colleges are training people
who will be perpetually offended by everything they see and hear. But healthy young people brought up in a
varied society like America can’t really be offended by the life around them or
they would never have made it past 15 years of age. I fear this a false face they are putting on
in a pretense of being compassionate and racially sensitive, because they buy
into their own lies of calling others racists and haters. These young people believe
they are better than anyone else and they want to show it, or maybe they just need
to reinforce their own sense of goodness to themselves.
At this point the colleges being impacted by these
protests and demonstrations should be denied funds to operate for one more day.
Close these liberal protest factories and send the students home if these
places of higher learning are so offensive. After all, if the liberals who run
these colleges and universities are doing such a bad job that liberal students
are offended by the “systematic oppression” they feel, they deserve to be
closed.
