How Did Go So Far Wrong?

Schadenfreude is arguably petty but I’m honest enough with myself to know that I enjoy it. I especially enjoy it when the situation that engenders it is and was so easily predictable, such as the Black protests and proto-riots at the University of Missouri and other campuses where the Blacks have risen up and claimed oppression, victimhood, and a violation of the “Safe Spaces.”

How did this campus political correctness get so far out of hand
How Did This Campus Political Correctness Get So Far Out Of Hand?

After decades of the teachers and administrators of America’s colleges and universities feeding the monkeys on a steady diet of ethnoguiltism, victimology, and manufactured outrage and angst against Whites and especially “White Authority” they really shouldn’t be shocked that the Blacks and the Liberal and Progressive Millennials that have been pandering to- and enabling them turned around and bit those very same hands that fed them.

In a very real sense these schools are reaping exactly what they’ve sown. And, if they have created a climate which brought seeds up out of the ground with vegetation on the end of them looking like something they never dreamed of, that is wholly and solely their own fault.

Show Me Where It Hurts

Show me on this doll where the Confederate flag hurt youShow Me On This Doll Where The Confederate Flag Hurt You

Truly, we need to set aside “Safe Spaces” for them, spaces where they can be kept safe from reality and in which we can guarantee that they will no longer pose a threat of harm to others…

An Unsafe Opinion

Bryan StascavageLast month Bryan Stascavage, a 30-year-old Wesleyan University (WSA) economics major and decorated veteran who served two tours as an military intelligence analyst for the US Army in Iraq penned an unsafe opinion about the Black Live Matter (#BlackLivesMatter) movement in an op-ed for his the school newspaper, The Wesleyan Argus. The previous winner of WSA’s Chadbourne Prize was shocked by the result.

His op-ed, “Why Black Lives Matter Isn’t What You Think,” wasn’t a glowing endorsement of the Blacks’ movement and, therefor, was met with a shitstorm of hate and vitriol from the Blacks and the Liberals and Progressives who pander to- and enable them.

That was, in itself, completely to be expected and it’s hard to generate any true sympathy for Mr. Stascavage who should have known what he was buying for himself by not adhering to the Left’s and their minority sharecroppers’ orthodox dogma of total submission to their doctrine.

No. What is horrific is a subset of these vermin’s response, not against Mr. Stascavage directly, but against the The Wesleyan Argus which published his opinion piece and, thereby, exposed the student body to it. The Liberals, Progressives, and their minority sharecroppers are demanding that Wesleyan University defund the Argus because of it.

A petition demanding the Wesleyan Argus lose funding unless it meets certain demands has signatures from at least 172 students, staff and recent alumni. Signatories threatened to boycott the paper because they said it fails to “provide a safe space for the voices of students of color and we are doubtful that it will in the future.”

They also demand that commitment be made by the Argus to create work study/course credit positions; a monthly report on allocation of funds and leadership structure; a required once-per-semester Social Justice/Diversity training for all student publications; active recruitment and advertisement; and open space on the front page in the publication dedicated to marginalized groups/voices, specifying that if no submissions are received, The Argus will print a section labeled “for your voice.”

This is what now passes for students in these Affirmative Action times and in the wake of what the “Civil Rights” movement has degenerated into. They demand that White voices be silenced in favor of “Social Justice” and providing Liberal, Progressive, and Minority students total freedom from any opinion or subject matter that might may them uncomfortable in some way, shape, or form by not rigorously adhering to their sensitivities.
