This is supposed to be college,not 4th grade grammar, right?

It was a Facebook post, not an assignment. If you're this upset over a college student posting grammatically incorrect comments on their own profile, then you must be absolutely livid that the POTUS does the same on his official twitter account? I mean, you're not a hypocrite are you?

Nope.

Not upset in the least.



When your head finally explodes, can you post a pic to your Facebook feed and here for those of us not on FB all that much?

Thx!

This’ll be GREAT!

I like it when kids think they have it all figured out and believe they are super smart and logical. It's cute.

So you're fine being flagrantly hypocritical? I mean, we all know that you are, but I will give you credit for being honest about it.

Millennials, you gotta love them, they don’t want a hand up, just a handout.

Do you pay attention to the news? Yes, I know... alot of it's fake. But we can still watch reports and glean information.

Do you deny that radical leftists go to extreme measures to protest conservative speakers at campuses across the country?

Violent or disruptive protests on college campuses in 2017

Heck, here's just one snippet from the article:

Quote:A planned talk at the University of California-Berkeley by polarizing Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled Wednesday evening after protesters threw smoke bombs and flares at the student union building where he was scheduled to speak.

No, that's your interpretation of that, and it's something that I personally have never said/done, so I don't have any idea what it's doing here.

Yes, it is my interpretation as I process what I see from various media/social media sources.

Remember this? Somebody wrote in chalk on a sidewalk and students freaked out.

Someone wrote ‘Trump 2016’ on Emory’s campus in chalk. Some students said they no longer feel safe.


Do you deny that radical leftists are actively trying to shut down opposing views because those views offend them?

You've literally provided no specifics, just vague complaints of general acceptance for ideologies you don't care for and an intolerance of ideologies you do care for on college campuses. Honestly, how is someone supposed to genuinely respond to this sort of criticism? Of course I think that colleges shouldn't arbitrarily treat ideologies differently, if that's what you're asking.

You know, I didn't realize you weren't up on current events. I thought they spoke for themselves. I simply provided commentary.

Now I've provided just a few specifics, but there are many more examples.

Please tell me you're not trying to say that college campuses have an equal serving of liberal and conservative elements. Heck, I don't believe it's even 60-40.

You can't possibly believe there's an almost-equal balance among the two.

First of all, it wasn't a genuine reaction, it was a joke that people here don't seem to get because their Overton window is so far right that berating a student on social media for daring to not like Trump seems reasonable to those of you here. Even in the set-up to this story it's clearly stated it was a facebook post that the student made and the professor commented on. If you think it's appropriate for a Professor to randomly respond with this on their students Facebook, you have some major issues with not grasping boundaries. But, again, it seems like this was all a joke that went over the heads here.

Actually, his reaction was over-the-top. It takes satirically defending this type of behavior to force certain people to show their hand.

In one breath the radical leftists say they have to the right to push their views but in another breath they're offended when a non-PC view is pushed. Surely you don't deny this.

Wrong, someone posted a screen cap of his response on their FB. "Adams' comments were originally posted on UC’s private Blackboard online class platform and available only to the 75 students enrolled in his What’s Hot in Popular Music class." "The critique wasn't intended for anyone outside of his class, Adams said. It became public when a UC student who is not enrolled in the class shared a screenshot of it on Facebook.".

Your claim was "We allow radical groups to engage with impunity on college campuses -- under they rallying cry of "academic freedom" which isn't really supported by anything you said. I'm not saying radical leftists don't exist, I'm saying it's entirely disingenuous to use it as a general descriptor of colleges. A radical lighting some fires near Berkley isn't exactly an honest appraisal of the state of higher education.

You're using a clearly absurd example to characterize reality, and an entire ideology. I don't find one a person losing their mind over Starbucks saying "Happy Holidays" and portray your entire ideology that way, because that would be disingenuous. I certainly don't use that person to base my opinion of the likely end goal of all conservatives like you seem to do.

No, I think there is legitimate claim to be made there, but there is also some truth to the fact that GOP ideology is partially to blame. Continually attacking Universities, science, the educated, and intellectualism in general doesn't garner you much sympathy in intellectual pursuits? You don't say. That being said, I find most of the complaints about this to be overblown. Most of my professors were liberal, but there were conservatives too, and they weren't unicorns like so many people act like they are. But hey, propose some genuine ideas to help solve this, and maybe we can apply them here and elsewhere.

No, I did, best I can tell it's a schedule of optional student activities which revolve around the topic of sexual identity, gender issues, and sexual practices. It's not my cup of tea, and I'd be bored to tears over most of those subjects, but I would certainly not characterize it as "filth".

Yeah, there are a lot of people who have really immature viewpoints of sex and sexuality, that is fair.

But that isn't what that sex week seems to be about, at least from the schedule you linked. So why are you mentioning it like it's relevant?
