Someone help me out with this Mizzu thing....

So, what happens if a bunch of people decide to walk through their "safe space" and act together to passively destroy their little camp. Not harming anyone, not violating their right to be in that space, not physically moving people or using force, but just being there. What would happen? A huge fight? A riot? What if 500 people just showed up, linked arms, and started walking all through the crowd and in and out of their "perimeter"?

They would be officially "offended". That would make it wrong on that campus. DOJ would be called in, and they would arrest those moving through the "safe space" and charged with a violation of the 1st, and hate crimes.

Meanwhile, those other students (99%) just want to go to school and learn engineering, Geophysics, biology, and other things that are going to earn them a great living and possible get some random sex with coeds.

Welp, smoke flares and masks it is then.

I'm thinking the University was getting ready to see millions not made this weekend if the game wasn't played...........which would have led to more press time about MU not being "race friendly" and potentially loosing football prospects down the road. Money has to be involved here somewhere.

I actually kinda enjoy the irony of athletics bringing an "academic" institution into complete submission.

Kinda pulls the curtain back to reveal what most colleges and universities(even some primary schools) have really become, window dressing for sports programs.

Maybe, just maybe, if parents placed as much emphasis on getting their precious little bundles of joy into learning instead of sports team uniforms, we'd actually be producing "adults" who have critical thinking skills and the cognitive capacity to think for themselves.

Hey, but ya'll buy the bread and circus, so ya got nobody but yourselves to blame.

Athletics in schools are nothing but fund raisers at the college level. Not so much at high school and Junior High levels.
I've said before that there are more efficient ways to run schools of higher education other than funding by athletics.

How about run these schools without tenure for the professors, run them without the brick monuments like the one on 412 in Tulsa that had to cost 200K to build for a simple sign etc, and put it into educating the students like it used to and not making them political pansy's. There are millions of kids in the U.S. that are smarter than most of the current crop of college kids.

Make it affordable for them and see where this country goes. I'd love to get on one of these campuses and go line by line through their budget.

Out of curiosity, what university did you graduate from?

 

[dennishoddy]

Does one need to attend college to see what type of BS is coming out of a minority of the students? I say again, 99% of the students are there to learn.

It's clear that most of you are completely out of touch with the reality of most everything academia related. What a circus.

Care to expound? You may not expect it, but I'd probably agree with you on most of it I suspect, except that it seems that those teaching are the ones who are out of touch with reality. They seem to exist in an alternate dimension of cognizance from the norm. I'm just saying that's what the average Joe on the outside looking in is seeing.

 

[tRidiot]

I know plenty of college kids completely out of touch with reality - as well as their professors. Real world experience has no place in academics. Too many working adults who return to college are shocked and amazed at the idiocy they are surrounded with. I know I was, and I was only in my mid-20s at that time.

I have not heard of any specific instances of "racist atmosphere", other than the painting of a swastika with poop. I'm sure if someone digs deep enough they'll find black lives matter and George Soros driving a bs issue. I highly doubt any of these wienies has ever experienced actual racism.
