Yale students sign mock petition to repeal the 1st Amendment

You don't need to apologize to me. Education for all but the elite is pretty much here.

 

The age of unenlightenment is here.

 

A lot of the kids that give over their lives to getting into the Ivy League may not be the most free or creative of thinkers.

 

Like Bugs Bunny, liberalism took a wrong turn at Albequrque.

 

Remember, Yale was the place where a huge issue was created over something as fucking benign as a Halloween costume and resulted in a student who wanted "safe space" but was in fact hysterically screaming at an adult prof and creating the exact environment she was chastising him for.

"According to The Washington Post, “several students in Silliman said they cannot bear to live in the college anymore.” These are young people who live in safe, heated buildings with two Steinway grand pianos, an indoor basketball court, a courtyard with hammocks and picnic tables, a computer lab, a dance studio, a gym, a movie theater, a film-editing lab, billiard tables, an art gallery, and four music practice rooms. But they can’t bear this setting that millions of people would risk their lives to inhabit because one woman wrote an email that hurt their feelings?.....

if an email about Halloween costumes has them skipping class and suffering breakdowns, either they need help from mental-health professionals or they’ve been grievously ill-served by debilitating ideological notions they’ve acquired about what ought to cause them pain.......

As students saw it, their pain ought to have been the decisive factor in determining the acceptability of the Halloween email. They thought their request for an apology ought to have been sufficient to secure one. Who taught them that it is righteous to pillory faculty for failing to validate their feelings, as if disagreement is tantamount to disrespect? Their mindset is anti-diversity, anti-pluralism, and anti-tolerance, a seeming data-point in favor of April Kelly-Woessner’s provocative argument that “young people today are less politically tolerant than their parents’ generation.”

Great article imo. The whole "everyone gets a trophy" approach has been a horrible failure. The current generation has been coddled into thinking that life should have no suffering, no disappointment, and no pain. And they have not been taught any coping skills should any of those feelings arise. They wouldn't know a thick skin if they brushed up against one and it sliced their pathetic little arm open.

 

So if the first amendment is so great, why is it an amendment?

 

bc they had left-wing freedom hating idiots back then too.

 

Because at first they had fogotten to give you the right to post idiotic statments on the internet.

 

Now they are whining because ethnic food isn't ethnic enough.
