South Africa: Black college students lash out at "hard" philosophy exam. (rating, status)

If they can't handle a college exam how will they be able to run the dispossessed white-owned farms? I'm thinking the operating of these farms will be far more difficult.

A philosophy class from the University of Limpopo staged a walkout from their test on Tuesday after complaining that the questions were too hard.

In various videos on social media platforms, the students can be seen packing up after declaring that the test was difficult. In one video, a female student pulls out from her bra what looks like [study] notes as she dances in celebration of the walkout. In another video the students complain that "the exam will kill them".

Reminds me of when certain groups complained that the NYC firefighter exam was too hard and sued, so the court ordered the test to be made easier to increase diversity among the ranks.

It looks like a mental ward not a college class.

It's really embarrassing and the original tweeter, a student, thinks it's a good look.

The dumbing down of the human race is in progress.

Not a lot different than many US colleges. Safe spaces, cry zones, Play Doh. Snowflakes seem to be an international phenomenon these days.

What else would you expect?

Philosophy is hard.

I wonder what qualities a person must possess in order to exhibit so much illusory superiority over a group of people they've never met and know absolutely nothing about.
