[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question: Has Yale Become a PC Joke?

Yes. Yes it has. Along with many other college campuses. And they have been for a long time.[/quote]No, it hasn't.  You're taking the rantings of a few people and defining Yale (a university that has been around for a few centuries) as a joke.

To answer the original question.  No.  No it hasn't.[/quote]

many students there I am sure are appalled at the behaviour of the small group of students but afraid to speak out. 
Much will depend on how the administration responds to the students’ demands. [/quote]Appalled and afraid to speak out does not define a school as a joke.  There are ridiculous comments made by a couple of political candidates running for president.  Their (what I consider crazy) comments do not define America as a joke.  They are the rantings of a couple of people.

Also, there are a few demands that I do not deem ridiculous.  I find nothing wrong with changing the name of a dorm named for a man who was a spokesman for the slave plantation system.  I'm sure that are Jewish students would have a problem with a university building named Hermann Goring Hall.  Or our white students who might have a problem with a dorm named Joseph McCarthy Hall (but maybe not as some institutions).[/quote]
