Has Yale Become a PC Joke?

[Anonymous]

So there's a forum for you to express your views. But because many others view these students as unreasonable and extreme somehow you want to shut the discussion down. You are just as extreme as those students and in your last post this comes out loud and clear.

It's interesting that these days you are more likely to have pc 'protests' like this at a place like Yale than Cal-Berkeley.

I wonder why that is. Cal was ground zero for the protest movement in the 60's-70's

Never mind some of the despicable name calling of the URMs and veiled references to bwing on financial aid. Total hypocrits. And nothing to do with some loud mouth Yale student but everything about a platform to voice your disdain for minorities.[/quote
And the usual attacks, just because people disapprove of what of these students are doing they must be racists and bigots.'

BS. The thread is wrought with negative innuendos and veiled numerous veiled references throughout the thread about academic capabilities and other veiled nasty racial remarka.

But just like YOU, I can speak up and call it the way I see it. It's not about your disapproval what the students are doing but everything why this is an opportunity to denigrate under the guise of your free speech.

This or you are not worth anymore tkmr. I'm more interested in Paris.

The young adults have gone back to their classes, and the kids are still here arguing about costumes, etc, over and over and over.......

I think your assumptions are wrong. First, what happens at a place like Yale interests the types of people who read DCUM. Second, the fringe group of radicals at Yale is still making "demands" for changes at the school, which include replacing the two masters at Silliman (who had the temerity to suggest that perhaps students could police their own apparel without the administration telling students how to act) and making race-consciousness training mandatory for everyone at Yale.

If I were making assumptions, I'd assume that you're someone with a connection to the school who is worried about what this nonsense is doing to the Yale brand, and therefore wants to downplay it.

+1 the pp just wrote to Jeff trying to shut this thread down

The irony of that is staggering.... One of the biggest turn offs about these incidents has been the feeling that people are trying to ban and suppress speech that they disagree with. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that that would extend to asking the moderator to shut down this thread. Unbelievable.

I had the same reaction. As Yogi Berra reportedly said, it's "deja vu all over again."

Cal is not 77 percent white like Missouri is.

np. Pretty sure the kids are still making demands and searching for safe spaces. Are those spaces like bubbles? I didn't know that college students and administrators sucked their thumbs still.

I wasn't comparing Cal to Mizzoo. I was comparing Cal to Yale.

Nope. Amherst is the PC joke -- they've managed to make even their reasonable demands look ridiculous.

What happened at Amherst?

To the person who wanted this thread locked or deleted: shame on you. I've spent most of my twenties in undergrad and grad school. Most of my profs and peers and I are beyond sick of people like screamer girl and the Yale protesters browbeating the public and forcing unnecessary curriculum changes. Go home if you can't handle studying uncomfortable truths or interacting with people as humorless and insufferable as you are.

I saw this problem coming years ago; I'm glad parents and older alumni are now learning how much the quality of education is suffering now that this is a national story. All because we have to blindly worship at the altar of PC.

Parents, please try and be better role models for civility and reason. Your kid's future classmates will thank you for their well developed coping skills so they know better than to rip down posters, scream at people, shout down any speaker slightly to the right of far left, or demand that books that hurt their feelings be removed from the syllabus. It's college: grow the f up.

Some protesters have even tried to silence those who oppose affirmative action policies as purveyors or "hate speech."
