[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It that Yale fast on its way of becoming Brown. [/quote]

Yes, I agree. It that Yale fast on its way of becoming Brown indeed.[/quote]

I don't understand the dynamics of these universities enough to understand your point.[/quote]

Brown is known as perhaps being the most liberal and crunchy of the Ivies. Not as intensely pre-professional or buttoned up/a training ground for bankers and lawyers. And Dartmouth the most socially conservative (yet moderate by general standards).

I've always seen Yale as a place for grooming leaders--look at all the Presidents and top officials who went there. However,[b] it seems like a small percentage of deranged inmates[/b] have cut the grownups down at their knees and [b]now run the asylum.[/b]

It's sad how it always takes a crisis to get Americans to care about their constitutional rights. School shootings trigger reflection on the meaning 2nd Amendment; and grotesque mob scenes and faux outrage over a misguided social justice meta narrative are what it takes to get people caring about the importance of free speech for ALL.[/quote]The bolded takes nothing from your opinion but this expression is so played out.  I think I've seen it a thousand times on this and other DCUM threads.  Whether it's true or not, there must be another cliche out there to affirm your thoughts.  Not the end of the world and, yes, there are people starving in Africa but geez![/quote]

For some it will be the end of the world. Should a president or professor be forced to resign or a student asked to withdraw because of a minor thought crime or petty alleged offense? Cause that's what these protestors want. There's no crime too small to be punished by the PC thought police and it all ties into their narrative of perpetual oppression, walking into all social situations with a victim mentality, and making everyone else responsible for their feelings. Very un-adult and unAmerican IMO.

So yeah, I'd say this expression, cliche or not, sums it up well.

I bet you'd fit right in at Yale!  :D [/quote]
