Do they know that millions of us are laughing at them? Do they know how utterly stupid they are? Or do they not care since they are paid by taxpayers and doing stupid things will not impact their revenue?

Yoga classes have been banned at a Canadian university because of “cultural genocide… due to colonialism and western supremacy” after complaints from political correct students.
Jennifer Schaf had been providing free weekly yoga sessions for both disabled and able-bodied students at the University of Ottawa in Canada since 2008.
However, this September she received an e-mail from staff at the Centre for Students with Disabilities, informing her that her voluntary work was no longer welcome, the Ottawa Sun reports.
She was told that “Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately” because the activity has been “taken” from other cultures.
The e-mail argued that such cultures “have experienced oppression, cultural genocide and diasporas due to colonialism and western supremacy”, therefore “we need to be mindful of this and how we express ourselves while practicing yoga”.
In pampering students with things like safe spaces, colleges are setting our students up for a rude awakening once they leave the cocoon. The real world doesn't mold itself to your feelings the way colleges are, and we're going to see waves of students coming out of schools completely unprepared to deal with reality.
In succumbing to the whims of these students who demand safe spaces and never being exposed to anything they disagree or might be offended with, they're being set up for a big surprise once they leave college. Unless they go on to become professors...

They are essentially creating the next generation of mass killers.
Do you know how many students attend MIZZOU? Where the millionaire's son went on a hunger strike? 35,000. 35,000 students and guess how many were a protesting? About 200 (yeah right, that's very generous). 200 out of 35,000 is way less than one percent of the student population.
Same thing here. Whiners are loud. And this is the main point, are they demonstrating at some Conservative bastion of hate? No, they're demonstrating at Liberal places.
RK, you could have stopped typing your title at "idiots abound". i wonder what is next for universities to eliminate...
The irony, at least to me, is that in the world of academia and higher learning, they are breeding a new level of idiocy unrivaled through our history. The 60s/70s radicals who now control higher education have proven that they can destroy the best educational system on the planet in less than 30 years.

Exactly, so why go to college? A high school diploma is more than enough for anyone. We should cut off all funding to these worthless institutions that claim to be educating people.
