Minority students at U-Md. issue 64 demands

Snowflakes, with the emphasis on "flakes", being taught victimization politics at a public university. Go to college, learn a f'ing marketable skill, and go forward and live your life as you choose. So tired of this ****.

We have to brainwash those that have a different opinion from us or else it's oppression!

I don't get this mental health bit. They asked for that at Missouri. Not sure why that keeps popping up.

Some of what they want is censorship (movies, speech).

I wonder if Christians would be allowed in the prayer rooms.

Sorry, but this is a lot like how Nazi Germany got its start. I don't understand how so many young people can't see that their form of inclusion is really a call for enforceable oppression and that attempting to rewrite history doesn't actually form a new and better reality.

* Penalties for groups that screen movies that “perpetuate false narratives and stereotypes” of Muslims.

Of course they are the ones who determine if the narrative or sterotype is false.


These people are truly mentally ill.

And there it is again, Demand #35...

I wonder if that would include movies that perpetuate true narratives and stereotypes like Lone Survivor, American Sniper, and Black Hawk Down.

Sigh... No, no you don't warrant a department for your victim group... Hell I don't even think you warrant a "program".

It's rather interesting to now see minorities now actively advocating for many things their parents fought against.
