Liberal intolerance in education

Dartmouith has spoken. The BLM protesters who invaded the library and shouted obscenities at students, driving some of them from the building, will not be disciplined. You see, they did not break any rules.

Throngs of protesters converged around fellow students who had not joined in their long march. They confronted students who bore “symbols of oppression”: “gangster hats” and Beats-brand headphones. The flood of demonstrators self-consciously overstepped every boundary, opening the doors of study spaces with students reviewing for exams. Those who tried to close their doors were harassed further. One student abandoned the study room and ran out of the library. The protesters followed her out of the library, shouting obscenities the whole way.

Students who refused to listen to or join their outbursts were shouted down. “Stand the f*** up!” “You filthy racist white piece of s***!” Men and women alike were pushed and shoved by the group. “If we can’t have it, shut it down!” they cried. Another woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who unleashed their insults, shouting “filthy white b****!” in her face.

That's too bad about Woody Durham.
 
No question RaleighDevil would have called it PC if white students were disciplined for using such "hate speech."
 
Ah yes, The New York Post... The last bastion of conservative bias and group think
 
welcome to the internet. hope you enjoy your stay.
 
Yeah, those kids are shitheads. That's why I chose not to go to Yale.

Why didn't you pose at 1/256th Algonquin? They don't even check that unless you run for national office...
 
Yeah, let's let solipcism in safe spaces be our goal. We also need a major in Twitter gibberish and whatnot.

1. This petition is especially dumb. Especially since just about every one of Richard's suggestions (other than Walcott) is firmly canonical. Just not foundational. There is a reason we read the OWGs, petitioners. A call to further diversify the canon is not at all the same as a call to cull the OWGs.

2. When you're losing the English faculty as allies, you're probably on your own.
 
ITT, we paint in the broadest of broad strokes.
