College Students Are Ridiculously Infuriating Safe-Space/Mega-thread

[KingSweden]

It matters 0% what major you have for most jobs. None of the people in my office have business or finance degrees - I myself have a history degree. Employers care more about if you can learn what the job entails to do your job for them. My wife's psych degree had nothing to do with the position she had before going back to school for her masters.

I graduated college in May 2014. When did this culture begin?

I don't remember the term safe space or trigger warning being used when I went to school and my school was overwhelmingly liberal.

We didn't have fraternities or sororities either. So I don't know.

Maybe I was just in a bubble.

Graduated in '12 from UW in Seattle - not exactly a right wing stronghold. I don't remember any of this either, you're not alone. I do sometimes get the sense that this is especially prevalent on private, exclusive campuses i.e. Yale, Dartmouth, Wesleyan etc. I'm sure it happens at big public universities too (see: Missouri) but it seems to be particularly prevalent at private liberal arts colleges.

I've been to events at Hillel houses. Hillel houses are nice places. I have a more positive opinion of Hillel houses than I have of Janet Mock.

The unsettling thing about this is that they were targeting a Jewish campus group rather than an explicitly Israeli one. The idea that Jewish groups deserve condemnation by mere association certainly undermines any claims the protectors may make about their lack of antisemitism.

This College Leftist and This Nazi Skinhead Bonded over Their Shared Antisemitism. What Happens Next Will Warm Your Heart.

It's sound much more click bait if that last sentence read "You'll never believe what happened next!"

Here's a fun list of annecdotes, although much of the blame is leveled at colleges rather than just the college students.

Which is, I think, where the blame SHOULD be leveled. The institutions caving time and time again are what makes these silly things spread. If they showed a backbone this would have frittered out years ago.

The President agrees with us.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That's a really, really good quote. Hopefully it gets broadcast more, because he is 100% right and this is the attitude liberals everywhere should take.

Milo Sillylastname was invited to speak at DePaul, you know what happens next.


...

it's actually better than you'd expect.  The organizers were asked to pay for extra security ('cause, ya know, it's the fault of the speaker not the fault of violent infants doing the, ya know, violence) in case trouble broke out.

It did because people aren't allowed to have an opinion that differs from the BLM clowns.

Well thank the deity of your choice they paid for extra security.  link - youtubes

Great job there.

He spoke at FSU a few months back. I hate Milo. I think he's pro-rape, and as I said to Mechaman on the phone the other night, I think he's literally the embodiment of the stereotypical sadistic, psychotic homosexual that homophobes used to spread during the whole Day Care Satanic Abuse pandemic in the 1980s.

That being said, the behavior of the students at FSU (which included forming a human chain around the auditorium and threats of assault) was disgusting. Perhaps the Trumpletariet needs to start playing this game and respond in kind.

It's so sad that so many college students are resorting to Gestapo tactics. It makes me fearful that the 1990-2000 generation will be far, far, far worse than anything said about the Baby Boomers.

But Sanchez tell me how you really feel about him
