Stay classy, Academia

Dr Edison Jackson was the adult in the room full of children.  He had to step in and take control of a situation where alleged college graduates were acting like middle school brats.  He did what needed to be done, showing more backbone than most.

College may indeed be overrated, especially in 2017 where campus seems to be overrun by idiots who cannot see two sides of an issue and are quick to take offense at anything that does not conform to everything on their ideological checklists.

College is about learning how to THINK, something that is clearly not being taught.

It's time to start tossing people out.

There was the disgraceful episode at Bethune-Cook where Secretary of Education had to deal with rude obnoxious morons who would not shut up long enough for her to give a speech.

Thanks to Dr Jackson, she did.

Then there were the reprehensible horribly racist comments by Dean June Chu on Yelp. Yale tried to brush it under the rug but now there appears to be some  discinpinary action forthcoming, but only after some extensive media coverage.

Then of course, there are the violent protesters of Berkely,, who should really rethink their approach because if Youtube is any indication, they can't fight very well.

Democracy is all about varying opinons.  You will not agree with everything everyone says.

So what? That is life.

What you see in Academia today is totalitarian behavior.  Take a good look at history.  Totalitarians always fail and end up in the ash heap of history.

Enjoy the ride, PC Commissars, because it is about to come to a halt.  Maybe screeching halt (defunding) or slow spiral into oblivion (University of Missouri's 20% fall in enrollment), but the end is coming.

Good idea to change course.
