Ha, that's 20 minutes from my house. I know the guy, has a local restaurant. The ironic thing is the county he lives is like 98% white. Very rural, in fact it's a heavily Democratic county. If anyone has rafted the Ocoee River, it's there. It's like they're still living in the 50's when the South was Democratic. The next county over (where I live now) is heavily Republican.

More PC run amok. "Insensitive" to the masses for no reason, but no one cares how insensitive it is to this girl to say "we associate your dead father with bigotry" for no apparent reason.

The best part about the Trump presidency is stomping out the SJW crowd. I enjoy watching them combust.

This whole "safe space" stuff really bothers me... I get that some claim it's just a place for those with similar backgrounds to meet and share ideas without having to be attacked and such (that's the OG premise/idea).. I've seen the comparison to a gay bar for gays wanting to meet like minded people...

...but... that's not exactly how it's being used... it's more of an allowable, 'put up the wall' reaction that is counter to everything higher ed. should be... If you want to meet people that have the same experiences, create a club and you will be offered a time and space to that end... but going out and screaming at the world and then refusing a counter argument is not freakin healthy.... how can you say you are challenging minds to new and bold ideas and attempting to create well rounded individuals when you allow them to create a 'no debate' zone anywhere they choose, any time their world view or emotions shaken???

I have a senior in HS that is looking at some pretty good school and this "safe zone" attitude at some of them is really turning us, and her, off. We have been watching how many of the schools she is interested in are reacting to the election and it will make a difference on where she decides to go. We are visiting Columbia later this week and saw where they had a gathering at 1:00 AM with students crying and peacefully protesting. Fortunately the school hasn't really endorsed anything like comfort dogs, cry rooms, or therapy sessions.

It really does concern me about what she will be exposed to by those that are supposed to broaden her education and not narrow it.


EDIT: Weird, I tried to quote ACAMP"S post and it wouldn't let me.

I know a few kids at Columbia and they say the PC shit there is awful. That being said, at the end of the day it still in Columbia, one of the best schools in the world, and they are still glad they made their choices to go there since it is so highly regarded.

Every day I'm more and more thankful that:
1) I went to Notre Dame, which is not an ultra-liberal echo chamber of sissies and where we could have real discussions about things with normal people.
2) I went to school before social media was really what it is right now.

I was just thinking this to myself recently. I graduated college in '13, and it has gotten exponentially worse in just the past three years. The hive-mind, group-think, mass-shaming stuff wasn't nearly as crazy then as it is now.

Yup. Twitter had just started becoming a thing when I graduated in '10. Facebook didn't have a "newsfeed". I really feel like every year since '11 stuff has spiraled more out of control. We've got social media lynch mobs for anyone that isn't PC. We've literally got kids getting kicked out of PUBLIC universities for saying things like #AllLivesMatter.

I love that guy, and why am I not surprised everyone's favorite SJW for women in video games is upset about the outcome?

Who dafaq was that bitch at the start and how does anyone take anything she says seriously at all....?? From 1:10 on it's like a Saturday Night live skit of someone trying to make a SJW look like a hypocritical child except that was real.......

This was real, until UM pulled it.....

self-care-trump-play.UMich_Law_School.screenshot.jpg


Better article from USAToday....SIAP

'Tolerant' educators exile Trump voters from campus: Glenn Reynolds

(Embarrassed by the attention, UM Law scrubbed the announcement from its website, perhaps concerned that people would wonder if its graduates would require Legos and bubbles in the event of stressful litigation.)

It’s easy to mock this as juvenile silliness — because, well, it is juvenile silliness of the sort documented in Frank Furedi’s What Happened To The University? But that’s not all it is. It’s also exactly what these schools purport to abhor: An effort to marginalize and silence part of the university community.

.......


But when you treat an election in which the “wrong” candidate wins as a traumatic event on a par with the 9/11 attacks, calling for counseling and safe spaces, you’re implicitly saying that everyone who supported that “wrong” candidate is, well, unsafe. Despite the talk about diversity and inclusion, this is really sending the signal that people who supported Trump — and Trump carried the state of Michigan, so there are probably quite a few on campus — aren’t really included in acceptable campus culture. It’s not promoting diversity, it’s enforcing uniformity. It’s not promoting inclusion, it’s practicing exclusion. And, though it pretends to be about nurturing, it’s actually about being mean to those who don’t fall in the nurtured class. Schlissel says he wants the University of Michigan to be “a welcoming place for all members of society,” but how welcome can students who backed Trump feel in the wake of this performance?

Morons on Twitter are claiming that Steve Bannon is a homophobe because of Breitbart headlines about Milo's Dangerous Faggot Tour.
