College campuses have been the source of activism for more than 60 years:
Off the top, here are some of the issues:
Civil Rights
Equal Rights
Vietnam War
The Draft
Apartheid
Afghanistan War
Iraq War
And most of these movements expressed hatred of the existing American status quo, at the time. They did not however have social media to communicate.
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter launched in 2004-2006. Media quickly trended online. Obama was the first POTUS to serve in an era of increasing influence of social media. Everyone had the opportunity to express themselves. People tend to believe anything when it appears to validate their perceptions.
The 24/7 news cycle demands constant new material and all media relies on sourcing from social media and comments.
There are 20 million +/- college students in the US, right now. Most of them manage to exist without making spectacles of themselves. That some do, is not particularly reflective of most students.
How can you say that, considering HOW America became a free and separate nation?!!
I would bet if many people were alive at the time of the American Revolution, they would have viewed our historical patriots as 'Criminals'...who resorted to violence because they were upset about taxation and representation....
But since they succeeded, its different, they are honored and celebrated now. LOL
Hmmm. Have you ever seen Red Dawn? The original not the pathetic reboot. When the Eckert brothers went to to town drive in to see their Dad and it had been converted for "re education." The background had the commie narrator yammering saying "America is a whorehouse where the revolutionary ideals of your forefathers have been perverted to make you all slaves to the capitalist system"...blah blah blah.
Where rock do these nasty scumbags crawl out from under?
"KU student body president says ‘death to America.’ Might such rhetoric accomplish that?
"Condemnation was swift and torrential, but consequences are unlikely, for the University of Kansas student body president who retweeted Sept. 3, “happy friday everybody. death to America.”
Niya McAdoo’s bizarre retweet, from a Twitter account called @comradeSYX, brought a perfect storm of outrage not just to her, but to KU. “Donors, Alumni Enraged by University of Kansas Student Government’s ‘Death to America’ Message,” read the headline at national columnist Todd Starnes’ article on the episode.
“It is ironic that she’s endorsing death to America,” says state Sen. Kellie Warren, Republican of Leawood, “when America’s liberties are what give her the freedom of speech to say such outrageous things in the first place.” Warren called for civility at KU, and for students not to “elect student government leaders who further incite the very hatred and division they claim to oppose.......”
I would bet if many people were alive at the time of the American Revolution, they would have viewed our historical patriots as 'Criminals'...who resorted to violence because they were upset about taxation and representation.
No Taxation without Representation was more the excuse than the reason. Antifa didn't support BLM because they care about black people. They did it because they wanted a revolution.
I think in George Washington's case, he was mostly annoyed by the Quebec Act. He hated the French, and Catholics, and felt like after all the fighting he did in the Seven-Years war that Quebec should have been handed over to the colonies. He partially got what he wanted after the Revolutionary War when Britain ceded us the "Northwest territories".
*shrug* I'm not surprised by any of that. The most annoyingly woke types are often white.
Generally speaking, if there was a decent case for removal one would not have to try to invent seriously racial allegations out of someone falling asleep at a meeting.
Right. It’s quite silly, as though she couldn’t just be tired. She was accused of being “fatphobic” and other things. My guess is that some students really don’t like her and will use anything to get her out.
