Mona Charen has written a stellar piece entitled “Snowflakes or Fascists“:
In light of recent episodes of mob action on American campuses, the quote needs updating: When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in “diversity” and demanding “safe spaces.”
…though it is couched in the language of safety, what these little snowflakes want is repression. Brenda Smith-Lezama, for example, is vice president of the Missouri Students Association. Asked about efforts on the Missouri campus to “muscle” student journalists away from a public event, she offered a view that would make Castro proud: “I personally am tired of hearing that First Amendment rights protect students when they are creating a hostile and unsafe learning environment for myself and for other students here,” she told MSNBC.
Congratulations, Yale, and Missouri, and American academia in general, you’ve succeeded in undermining the ethic of free inquiry, disinterested scholarship, and certainly anything like decent manners.

Diversity and multiculterarlim are a new age pluague in america being used by the left to bring america down and it started when america joined the wretched United Nations we need to defund both the UN and these leftists run universitiesRemember what Joe McCarthy warned us about these evil commie crinimals
Meanwhile ,in Canada we we will be bringing in 25000 refugees that we WILLNOT Be vetting. The U. N. (Whoopee! ) will be vetting a few and the rest will be vetted here. And once there her how many and how much court time and how much money will it take to get them out of the country if ever ? Omar Khadr and his family come to mind. They apparently been on welfare since coming to Canada , say they hate ,caused all kinds of trouble and my opinion been a disgrace. And oh yeah , are media darlings. This vetting is the number one issue we should be raising hell about. There is no excuse to not vet them before they come. This is OUR home and OUR safe place !
I hope all donors decide to invest in something other than the universities that is worthwhile and useful to humanity!

If you don’t listen to Andrew Wilkow live or on delay at 3am, you’re missing out. His almost hour long take down of these losers was epic yesterday.
Also, listen to her next paragraph that isn’t included in the piece. The stupid burns with these people.
“I’m sure if there’s a new fascism it won’t come from skinheads and punks. It will come from people who eat granola and believe they know how the world should be.” – Brian Eno, 1985

“…Our problem is that many of the students who were burning professors’ research notes in the 1960s are now on the faculty.”

Your kinder, gentler Mafia sans the brains. Nice University you have here. Would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.
the way it plays out of course, once the primary targets have all been exhausted and dispensed with, they inevitably turn on themselves for the uber sin of not following the very fluid dictate of the moment.
that’s when it really gets interesting. that’s when people die.
Do you think it be coincidence at play when all this lunacy takes place just after the first semester mid terms are graded? Dollars to donuts that the vast majority of these neonatal revolutionaries have failing grades and are – as children do – using it as a way to excuse their failures? 30,000 + enrollment at Mizzou and what, maybe a 1,000 or so participants in this engineered tantrum?
Occupy Wall Street disappeared shortly after the election in 2012. Only time will quell this “insurrection”. Specifically November 9th, 2016.
Independent thought. What a concept.
OCCAM:
Classic. Very well done. You had me laughing out loud throughout.
The stuff going on at colleges and universities and coupled with the bad press for the police is so egregiously racially charged that I am wondering if there is an actual effort to start a race war.
To what purpose and end I can’t imagine but I can read the comments on this blog and under the media news articles. The comments being posted and the messages being sent are getting worse and worse…. reflecting a growing racial divide.
I contrast this with what I see in government and politics, in sports, on TV shows, in the military, and these look very diverse (at least as far as blacks and whites) and it certainly doesn’t reflect the angst of these protesters.
So, is it Helter Skelter (reference to Charles Manson’s scheme to start a race war)?
David, it is possible.
Fools and bandits often believe they can benefit from inciting a riot.
So if you sense an orchestration, follow the money.
Who stands to benefit?
A statist might believe they can impose complete state control after riots.
I suspect they do not fear the mob enough.
Time to totaly cut off all funding to these collages and universities make this poiled little snots get a job for once instead of sitting in their dorms all day clicking their remotes and only leaving to attend the next protest
