Is this the end of liberalism?

[civman110]

The left is imploding on itself. Leftist university professors being attacked for not banning Halloween costumes and failing to create a "safe space" at Yale where no one can disagree with the PC police.

Another student accuses the professor of being a racist because she is black and he did not remember her name out of his 500 students. It must be a racist micro aggression.

UPDATE (9/11/15):

University President Tim Wolfe was forced to resign.
Professor Mr. Loftin was also forced to resign over the incidents.


Mizzou protesters try to ban "white media" to create a "safe space" for black protesters.

Spoiler :

Earlier in the day, the group of protesters clashed with reporters who were simply trying to cover the demonstrations after the resignation of the Mizzou president. Students formed a human chain around the area to create a “safe space” where the media wasn't allowed to enter and began pushing reporters. “Hey hey, ho ho, reporters have got to go,” many chanted.

UPDATE (10/11/15):

The campus police at the University of Missouri sent out a campus-wide email this morning asking “individuals who are witnesses of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions” to immediately report the incident to them.

The email did not define what constitutes “hurtful” speech but did say if anyone experiences or hears it they are immediately to get in touch with cops and also provide “a detailed description of the individual(s) involved” along with the “license plate and vehicle descriptions…” Also, “If possible and if it can be done safely, take a photo of the individual(s) with your cell phone.”

The email says if it is an emergency situation of “hurtful” speech not to call campus police but to dial 911!

UPDATE (11/11/15):

Another University of Missouri Professor, Dr. Brigham, has been forced to resign.

Spoiler :

As members of the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus met with student activists at a closed meeting Monday morning, an anonymous caller phoned in a threat to MU’s Oldham Black Culture Center.

A white professor, however, challenged his students to come to class, to prevent the “bullies” from winning:

“If you don’t feel safe coming to class, then don’t come to class,” Dale Brigham wrote in an e-mail to his Nutritional Science 1034 class.
“I will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class.
“If you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them. If we cancel the exam, they win; if we go through with it, they lose.
“I know which side I am on,” Brigham said in the e-mail.
“You make your own choice.”


Brigham’s message drew anger from several of his students.

My Teacher had the nerve to email me, "If we cancel class, then we let the bullies win." Like this is a game or something.

I am terrified ! We just literally walked passed a racist cult in speakers circle i dont feel safe at Mizzou anymore im ready to go
— Hailey (@mariehaileyy) November 11, 2015


Brigham confirmed to The Washington Post that he had sent the e-mail.
As for being the headline of a Washington Post story the night before, Dr. Brigham responsed by at 9:43 Wednesday, saying:

The exam in cancelled. Our students will be able to take the exam at an alternate date with no loss of point. No one will have to come to class today. And, I am resigning my position.

Mizzou Demonstrators Segregate White Allies to Form "Black Only Healing Space."

Spoiler :

Student protesters at the University of Missouri asked white supporters to leave Wednesday night in order to create a “black only healing space.” Steve Schmidt, an activist who was at the protest, tweeted that Concerned Student 1950 group were “asking white allies to leave.”

Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Johnetta Elzie seemingly confirmed those with Caucasian skin were asked to leave the area, tweeting that the group had created a “black only healing space for the students to share, decompress, be vulnerable & real.”

Mark Kim, another reporter for KOMU who was at the scene, told TheBlaze that he spoke with some people around the area and confirmed white individuals had formed a separate group upstairs.

“White allies are upstairs in their own breakout group,” he said in a tweet.

The news comes after the Concerned Student 1950 group had blasted the “white media” earlier this week for not “respecting black spaces.”

UPDATE (12/11/15):

Claremont McKenna, Dean of Students resigns.

Spoiler :

BREAKING: Claremont McKenna Dean of Students resigns

Full resignation letter:

Dear CMC Community:

Since 2010 I have been privileged to serve as Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College. Today I am submitting my letter of resignation, effective immediately. I do so with sadness beyond words, because these nearly six years have been the most rewarding and fulfilling of my life, but also with the conviction that it is the right thing to do for the school and the students I care about so deeply.

I have been grateful for the support of the Administration and the heartening encouragement I have received from so many of my students, former students and colleagues. Among the calls, texts and emails I have received is a student who wrote:

“You’ve inspired me in my time at CMC. Please stay strong and realize students like me need you to stay here…I will always be honored to consider you a mentor, a role model, and above all, friend.”

And a faculty member who wrote:

“I also recognize how much you have worked to make our community more inclusive… I know I join many fellow faculty members and students in expressing my full support and confidence in you as Dean of Students here at CMC.”

To all who have been so supportive, please know how sorry I am if my decision disappoints you. I believe it is the best way to gain closure of a controversy that has divided the student body and disrupted the mission of this fine institution. Most important, I hope this will help enable a truly thoughtful, civil and productive discussion about the very real issues of diversity and inclusion facing Claremont McKenna, higher education and other institutions across our society.

Sincerely,

Mary

SJWs at Yale declare that it's impossible for Black people to be racist! (video included)

Spoiler :

Last night, students at Yale held a “teach-in” to discuss racial issues, described by Yale Daily News as “A forum dedicated to educating the community about the issues faced by people of colour at Yale.” Panel topics included “mental health and microaggressions,” “women of colour,” and “systemic racism.” This followed weeks of protests and attempted Maoist-style purges at Yale after a professor at Silliman College suggested that offensive Halloween costumes might not be a crime against humanity.

SJWs Declare a "Million Student March" for tuition-free public college, cancellation of student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for college workers (video included).

A statement from the activists reads: “We are people of all colors, genders, and sexual orientation, and we are united to fight for education as a human right.” Protesters are calling for tuition-free public college, cancellation of student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for college workers… plus a lot of other stuff about “straight white male patriarchy” and rape culture on campus.

University of Missouri Names Black Interim President, Michael Middleton

Spoiler :

Michael Middleton, 68, takes over for Tim Wolfe, who resigned abruptly on Monday amid student-led protests over his administration’s handling of racial complaints.

Middleton, who is black, resigned as deputy chancellor of the Columbia campus in August and took on the role of deputy chancellor emeritus. He had been working part-time with the campus’ chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin, on a plan to increase inclusion and diversity at the school.

Middleton has a bachelor’s degree from Missouri and became one of the first black graduates of the law school in 1971. He worked with the federal government in Washington and was a trial attorney in the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division before joining the university law faculty in 1985.

He also helped found the Legion of Black Collegians, a student group involved in the current protest, and himself participated in previous campus protests for civil rights and against the Vietnam War.

He was interim vice provost for minority affairs and faculty development starting in 1997, and a year later was named deputy chancellor. In that role, he was credited with turning women’s studies and black studies programs into their own departments.

UPDATE (14/11/15):

SJWs take to twitter to condemn the Paris terrorist attacks for stealing their spotlight by not covering the "terrorist attack at Mizzou" and yes, white people are racist.

"Both situations are equally messed up!" and "a supposed 'safe space' is also terrorism."

Spoiler :

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters responded to the murder of scores of people in Paris at the hands of Islamic extremists by complaining about losing the spotlight and saying their “struggles” were being “erased.”

UPDATE (16/11/15):

SJWs: "“F*** you, you filthy white f***s!” “F*** you and your comfort!” “F*** you, you racist s***!”" and #F***Paris

Spoiler :

Black-clad protesters gathered in front of Dartmouth Hall, forming a crowd roughly one hundred fifty strong. Ostensibly there to denounce the removal of shirts from a display in Collis, the Black Lives Matter collective began to sing songs and chant their eponymous catchphrase. Not content to merely demonstrate there for the night, the band descended from their high-water mark to march into Baker-Berry Library.

"“F*** you, you filthy white f***s!” “F*** you and your comfort!” “F*** you, you racist s***!”"

Students who refused to listen to or join their outbursts were shouted down. “Stand the f*** up!” “You filthy racist white piece of s***!” Men and women alike were pushed and shoved by the group. “If we can’t have it, shut it down!” they cried. Another woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who unleashed their insults, shouting “filthy white b****!” in her face.

Resentful black activists and their comrades also started a backlash against the huge public sympathy for the Parisian victims of the Islamist terror war. On Sunday, they used Twitter’s hashtag #F***Paris to reveal their emotional reaction to their loss of attention.

Hip-hop artist, ‘Na-Ledge’, released a song on YouTube titled "F*** Paris / Na-Ledge from Slave 2 a King"

Spoiler :

The hip-hop artist, who goes by the name ‘Na-Ledge’, released the track on YouTube yesterday, in which he raps, “The way I’m feeling right now, I feel like f*** Paris.”
The rapper explained the reasoning behind the song, commenting, “I say this Because of the MAJOR participation of the SLAVE TRADE FRANCE was involved in. Hate to see the lose of life, yet my ANCESTORS souls are still crying over there PAIN.. And I am to.. France turned 4 times as many slaves as the Americas and used further brutality if that is even fathomable.”

The #F***Paris hashtag began to pick up steam yesterday when it was tweeted by a number of #BlackLivesMatter supporters who were upset that the Paris massacre had taken media attention away from protests at the University of Missouri.

UPDATE (17/03/16):

Meanwhile more racist and hateful leftys at Harvard.

"White people should kill themselves because it's ethical." "Affirming black life means white death has to occur."

"White life is wrong." "White life isn't worth affirming."

Spoiler :

This debate about whether white people should be exterminated was held at Harvard University. The pro-genocide activists, Damiyr Davis and Miguel Feliciano, are from the University of West Georgia.

The topic of the debate was supposed to be renewable energy — not race. The subject was: "Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially reduce restrictions on and/or substantially increase financial incentives for energy production in the United States of one or more of the following: coal, crude oil, natural gas, nuclear power, solar power, wind power."

The white team chose to advocate wind turbines. Instead of addressing that issue, the black debaters began arguing that all whites should kill themselves and that their white opponents should die.

This was NOT a position that was assigned to them in class. They claimed that their pro-genocide movement was *REAL POLITICAL ACTIVISM.*

Amazingly, the University of West Georgia brags about these two anti-white debaters on its website. The duo's passionate advocacy of white extermination has made them No. 2 in the country!

This is an original thread. This happened very recently.

Nah, these SJWs don't disagree with conservatives. They are fighting other liberals.

They saw an e-mail they didn't like and a professor refused to ban Halloween costumes then politely stated that he did not agree with them, thus failing to create a "safe space" where only the SJW's opinions have a right to be heard in their safe little echo chamber.

Since radicals apparently represent the entirety of the left, would it be fair to say that all right-wing leaning citizens are Nazis?

Well these are liberals. I'm only calling them what they proclaim to be.

This kind of behaviour has become a common occurrence on University campuses. They are only reaping what they've sown with their "safe spaces" where alternate opinions are not tolerated and of course micro aggressions, real or imagined.

The signs at the new building say “All Gender Restroom,” and Ms. Linzer has observed women wondering aloud, “You mean I can go in the men’s room?”

The Whitney isn’t alone in being challenged to rethink one of the most basic uses of public space. With the issues of serving openly in the military and same-sex marriage now largely resolved, the fight for all-gender restrooms has emerged as the latest civil rights issue in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (L.G.B.T.) community — particularly the “T” part.

Schools and universities (including Johns Hopkins and Michigan State), museums (like the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City), restaurants both trendy and modest (such as the Pass & Provisions in Houston and the Midtown Cafe in Santa Cruz, Calif.) and even the White House (in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building) are recasting the traditional men’s/women’s room, resulting in a dizzying range of (often creative) signage and vocabulary.

Part of the reason is legal. Seattle, Berkeley, Santa Fe, Austin and Philadelphia are among the cities that have passed laws requiring single-user all-gender restrooms. Philadelphia has an online Gotta Go Guide showing the location of such facilities, and there’s an app, Refuge Restrooms, that does the same nationwide.

Philadelphia businesses will have 90 days to become compliant, said Helen L. Fitzpatrick, director of the mayor’s office of L.G.B.T. affairs. “But the goal is that nobody should ever receive a fine,” she said. “I will be going out and using the law as a teachable moment.”

Oh, they always double down and they will, but my prediction is that they implode and start fighting themselves (it's already happening). There will be more calls to ban freedom of expression and free speech.

What they have created is an unsustainable neurotic population. This is looney toons.

 

[Wolfbeckett]

I think of it instead as the rebirth of Liberalism. True Liberalism as it used to be understood demands free speech, it demands personal freedom, it demands debate and conversation even when the topics are difficult or uncomfortable. The exact opposite of what young modern progressives stand for with their limiting of speech, their safe-space culture, and their "everything is an offensive microaggression" mentality.

There are actually quite a few places in Europe where public restrooms are not gender binary and it's been that way for years, they work perfectly fine. There was one at an aquarium I went to and nobody batted an eye. Americans are just inferior to Europeans clearly.
