Students Demand 'No Bulletproof Vests' for Safety Officers

[Kracer]

13. bring their mommies to school with them.


Only eternal victims with no hope of cure would make such demands.


So students are victims and want to be treated as such. Thought you wanted to be a contributing member of society, "equal", rather than broken down souls who need constant care.


Off the hypersensitivity scale for sure and the capitulation by schools only encourages these circus trainers to make the liberal masters of academia spin like dancing bears in a side show.

5 and 7 I only comply with the rest I would disregard.

[AnnieA]

This is such a load of you know what.


When I went to college, I was just grateful I could go. Yes, I was white but poor as a church mouse.


This is all so ridiculous.

Looks like we've taken a step back prior to 1965.

MLK Jr. is prob rolling over in his grave.

Yep, just a bunch of crybullies.

[petch751]

omg, can someone put an end to their misery?

Sounds like they just want the campus rent-a-cops to quit pretending they're in the military. Pretty reasonable actually, the big military-style vests should only come out for SWAT functions.

[greywar]

The argument is that they want their campus security to act less like a military force. I kinda get it, but the safety issues trump it. Bulletproof vests make sense. They really didn't think much when they wrote their list out. They should have focused on their actual concern-ie "the campus cops act like they're a military force that won't be questioned, and hides what they do". The request to remove bulletproof vests just shows they dont understand the current reality they live in, and instead want to pretend they live where the rules of reality do not apply.

Its a bunch of nonsense.
