[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think college students should show moral outrage whenever another college student tells someone s/he disagrees with to shut the fuck up?  Or is it just when they tell authority figures to STFU?  [/quote]

If I'm going to Yale for an education, I want to learn from professors who are free to speak their mind without having to toe some ideological line or risking verbal and/or physical assault from some punk student. Make no mistake about it, this silly, stupid black girl needs to be given a time-out before she is allowed to return to classes.  Her conduct crossed the bounds of civility at a college campus and she should be suspended.[/quote]

+1.

I wasn't in college that long ago and I've seen this kind of crap conduct first hand. If only these types could be booted more easily.

Not to derail this thread too much but a girl down the hall from me at my "prestigious" slac had serious mental issues and started cutting herself. Her roommate went through hell between having to avoid their dorm room and all the followup meetings with residential staff and the hall RA about "mediation" procedures. Seriously?! This poor girl should have been forced to take medical leave and the other roommate should have been offered a single ASAP. No one should be forced to sleep and do homework in a tiny cinderblock room with someone in the fetal position teetering on the verge of suicide. Instead, reslife staff stalled until the parents called a Dean and read them the riot act about having to pay room and board to deal with this shit and their daughter being told to be more "sensitive" and patient about resolving the matter.

We also knew a girl who had to have her stomach pumped TEN times due to alcohol poisoning and drug issues. Somehow the school missed these red flags and she went on to vandalize the apartment of a friend whom she later falsely accused of rape.  :shock:  :shock:

From my experience, colleges can be incredibly tone deaf and flat out stupid about resolving campus safety and quality of life issues in a rational manner. And some students have no business being in college. Instead we defer to "all children can learn". Except they're not children: they're rational adults who need to be help accountable for their speech and physical conduct.

I doubt Yale girl be suspended. Because of her race. Even if she was asked to leave, even temporarily, then she'd go full martyr, demand more attention, and get a book deal out of it.[/quote]

+1 what the hell is wrong with some of these kids? I've heard stories from my younger cousin, an undergrad, about students having unnecessary verbal confrontations in class over material that offends their little fee fees. College used to be fun in my day, which wasn't that long ago...[/quote]
