Student protests: Only smypathic media allowed; Vox, predictably, agrees.

[Tear Down This Wall]

Step by step, the younger generation marches - in complete ignorance - toward fascism...and, some "adults" in the press laud them for it:
http://www.vox.com/2015/11/22/977837...ia-free-speech

The students:
"We are asking that any journalists or press that cover our story participate and articulate their solidarity with black students and students of color," one of them told MassLive in the Student Center Wednesday. "By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight."

See, there...it's the media's job - in this generation's estimation - to choose sides in political discussions. And, not just choose sides, but "articulate their solidarity."

Yes, you are in an America where a generation of kids believes this.


Next, Vox - an online "news" site begun by former Washington Poster Ezra Klein and led by former Slate writer Matthew Yglesias - says, "yeah, that's okay":

"On-campus stories don't stay on-campus stories anymore. And this means there's almost no breathing room for students, faculty, and administrators to work through genuinely difficult questions, with the airing of impolitic opinions and overheated statements that's usually involved with that.

Any Smith student talking about racism at that forum would have needed to do so knowing that those remarks would be read by hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of people, many of whom interpret and comment on them without a shred of good faith."

Interpretation: Had unsympathetic media been allowed to cover the event, an adult somewhere might have read the idiotic statements made by the "students, faculty, and administrators" and - gasp - maybe even criticized them!

The horror!

Now, of course, the idiots at Vox think this is all well and good so that the little flower can grow in their own pot. But, here is the problem, that Vox - predictably - ignores:

These delicate little flowers, who can't be criticized by "outsiders" are calling for people to lose their jobs and end their careers as educators. And, incredibly, not unsympathetic educators! Educators who have spent their lives trying to create a more coddled campus existence for them!

The delicate little flowers are now biting the hand that feeds, and Vox stands by and says, "Yeah, that's good. We agree with this."

Again...in America.

And I read that story as documenting that some places are limiting access to the media and why. The article's title is "Why colleges...". I didn't read it as being supportive of that action. But, what do I know, I see Bin Laden as a terrorist and Mandela as an agent of social change? You come from stock that saw Bin Laden as a freedom fighter and Mandela as a terrorist.

What in the hell are you talking about? We are talking about students being overly sensitive and leftist media types supporting them for it. Bin Laden and Mandela have nothing whatsoever to do with it. Further, you have no idea what my views are about either of them.

A. Having fun with your avatar picture and referencing Reagan & Company's stance on Bin Laden and Mandela. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't want me to crack wise about Reagan then you could change your avatar or your "handle". I open the door to Seinfeld criticism with my username.

B. To the point, I read the article that you linked and didn't see it as "supportive" or "critical" of the action of schools limiting access by the media. It just kind of presented both sides of the issue.

Serenity it's time you be not only honest with us, but honest with yourself. The political correctness you see ramped up on college campuses today is nothing more than censorship. And as these colleges have become more progressive/socialistic over the last fifty years, the incidents have increased exponentially. You cannot deny this.
Now these attacks on the First Amendment have historically not stopped there. We have already seen conservatives disinvited to campus commencements and other activities. Shouted down at other events. What was once a bastion of exchanging ideas and thoughts, the University campus has become a place where only leftist ideology can be expressed. What ever happened to "tolerance" and "diversity"? What's next, book burnings?
Serenity you have a good knowledge of history, you know where this ends right? I am challenging you to speak up against it. It's ok to be on the same side as conservatives.

It all predictable. Long ago on college campuses, anything not liberal began to be shoved aside. And, incredibly, you get these articles from time to time asking, why aren't there more conservatives in academics? Duh.

Now, you've got kids at college campuses pretending that they aren't safe. Making up stories. Demanding the people lose their jobs over their precious, little feelings.

It's a predictable as it is stupid. These kids...they can't even think. And, the adults at the universities who - we thought - were supposed to be teaching them how to think problems through and deal with adversity, do don't it. They do just the opposite.

It's all part of the left's plan to make us subservient to the State. The sissification of America's youth is full blown. Did you know that most public schools will not allow teachers to use.....red ink pens to grade papers? That red ink hurts their fragile little self esteems you know. Gotta employ a more sensitive way to correct a student. I thought self-esteem was earned by achievement?
Yes, the left is hell bent on making our society one of dependency, one that leaves important decision making to a higher power.
Kid got expelled the other day because he ate his cookie into the shape of a gun. The degree and amount of this kind of nonsense out there is jaw dropping.
With only 20% self describing themselves as "liberal" it's about time that the rest of us expose all of this leftist psychobabble. It has exceeded the level of insanity. It is damaging our core of who we are.
Maybe Trump is that man.

TDTW, You and I dont always agree but SN is one of those WAY THE F&&CK out there dudes. I do believe he just picks up random crap and shoves it in his pipe and smokes it.

C'mon man. You're not even trying to put any effort into your trolling. I guess Democrats were the first idiots who supported the radical Salafist Islamic movement in the ME when Carter refused to support the Shah of Iran. How about Hillary and Obama in Libya and Syria?

The bottom line is that only the libertarian wing of the Republican party advocates for non-interventionist foreign policies.

Starting to think Serenity really does not believe all of this socialist crap. He's just on here pulling our chain.

For anyone with even an average intelligence, can see through the pitfalls and failures of leftists ideology. It is flawed in so many ways, it is indefensible.

Simply have them explain how an ever increasing welfare state, where more and more of your citizens are dependent upon the State, extrapolated out over time, ends up? I see these knuckleheads supporting a socialist like ole Bernie, who genuinely thinks that you can just tax the ultra wealthy, at a rate approaching 90%, and that will fund all of these infrastructure programs around the country, putting millions to work, and the wealthy will just stand by and allow themselves to be taxed in this manner. I mean it is the most flawed approach to an underemployment problem that you could devise.

That's what these media whores need to delve into instead of concerning themselves with whether or not Mitt Romney beat up a kid in 5th grade, or Donald disrespected a Muslim somewhere, or dared to use the term "illegal aliens" or if Ben Carson tried to knife someone when he was a street punk in high school. You notice they didn't spend a whole lot of time digging into BHO's past. To this day, we don't know much about this man who leads us. Unbelievable when you think about it.
