what kind of world is this when these melters are actually taken seriously, instead of laughed at?

Quote:
Students at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., are protesting a politics prof whose op-ed in The New York Times in October has struck them as excessively conservative, according to reports.

The students claimed they were offended by his supposed “anti-Blackness, anti-LGBTQ+, and anti-woman bigotry” and staged a large sit-in. They also presented demands, such as a “tenure review” of the professor, Samuel J. Abrams.
Sarah Lawrence professor says college abandoned him to fight alone after protesters targeted him
a few of the things they are 'demanding' -

Housing Accommodations and Accessibility
Sarah Lawrence must commit to actualizing the value that housing is a human right.

1. The College must provide winter housing to students at no charge. This housing must include a communal kitchen with dry goods from the food pantry available for all students.
2. The College will designate housing with a minimum capacity for thirty students of color that is not contingent on the students expending any work or labor for the college. This housing option will be permanent and increase in space and size based on interest.

Food Security and Accessibility
Sarah Lawrence must commit to actualizing the value that no student go hungry.

1. The College must commit to devising a food plan where every student has access to, at minimum, two meals a day, including weekends, school breaks, and days when the college is closed due to weather. When dining options are closed on campus, the College must provide meals for students staying on campus, including vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, halal, and kosher options.

The college should reply with rules. Act up, get kicked out.
I expect we’ll be seeing some interesting videos from here soon.

How will these women adapt when they graduate and enter the real world?

The College must ensure that students can share and transfer meal swipes and/or use multiple within the same dining period. It is unacceptable that there are students with leftover swipes at the end of the semester when other students are going hungry because they run out of meal options.

OK, this one actually makes some sense. But the rest of them . . . well, let's just say that if Godzilla decides to give Japan a break and come attack the U.S. instead, it doesn't look like it would be a great loss if he targeted Bronxville, NY first.

Good. Now they can debate the issue and if the professor or college is worth its salt, it will provide a valuable lesson to the students. This is what is suppose to happen in college, debate, view sharing, listening to others opinions while shaping your own.

I would rather college students take this approach and argue their points then march around with signs to protest speakers who offend them.

They'll remain cloistered on the academia plantation where rigid, orthodox thinking makes things nice and safe.

Here's where that professor REALLY f'd up big time:

".....He said Monday evening that his philosophy was not an attack on students: “Viewpoint diversity is asking that multiple viewpoints are considered on campus and in the classroom. So that means rather than simply attack capitalism and free markets without a deep understanding of history and teach socialism, we also teach the value of markets, choice and individualism.”

He said his ideology has been to teach students the realities of adult life: “Rather than teach that government needs to get bigger, and is the solution to poverty and improving the welfare of Americans, and this is often the only view taught, we need to also teach how capitalism has lifted millions up, and allowed markets to make the nation efficient........”


To progressives that 's considered "hate beliefs".

They're going to try to force their political correctness and snowflakery into the real world and change the real world! That's the point of these liberal colleges!

By suing everyone in their way and getting anyone who looks at them cross eyed fired for #metoo related infractions. They'll be miserable, but successful.
