It's funny when it's a post ranting about black people, it's fine but when one starts a post for black collaboration it's an issue. It seems that some of you just look for these articles for the sole purpose.
Not a lot different than many US colleges. Safe spaces, cry zones, Play Doh. Snowflakes seem to be an international phenomenon these days.
Was just about to write something similar - this is a global thing now with students whining and complaing about things being "too hard" for them. If these are the "leaders" of our future, this entire planet is doomed.
When college is "too hard," perhaps college is not the answer. There are great, high-paying jobs for graduates of certain trade-tech fields or apprenticeships. In many cases, they pay better than the typical college degree job does.
I read some Twitter posts about this and evidently some of the students indicated that the queries on the test were not covered by the syllabus or the lectures in class.
But even with that, I don't see a need to walk out.
I think there is more though than is being reported in the media about this.
See the article I posted later in the thread. It seems the test that was handed out was for the wrong module. I don't know why they didn't just approach the Professor to ask why the test included material never covered.
After seeing some replies from incredulous South Africans about HS education there I decided to do some research. Evidently after apartheid the education department has lowered the % to pass certain grades to as low as 20%

Instead of teaching students to be better at math, South Africa has dropped its passing mark. South Africa's Department of Basic Education has lowered the pass rate for mathematics to just 20% in an effort to keep children moving through the country's struggling school system.
Then you are wrong. There is no "human race" to begin with. There are human races of differing psychometric qualities and tendencies. Of course progressives are trying to dumb down humans. But let's all just play ignorant of the how and why which is ironically an example of the dumbing down of humans itself.
