What's Going on at University of Missouri?

This idiocy is spreading like the flu.

I heard on the radio today that black "students" have occupied the office of the president of Princeton and are going to hold it until Princeton agrees to take Woodrow Wilson's name off of every building and college.

What do you bet Princeton folds like a cheap card table?

I thought Woody was a bigger socialist than BO. Why would they hate him?
 
Woodrow Wilson's attitudes on race were unenlightened by the standards of his time ... much less today's.

Assuming they are students, these people are wasting an incredible opportunity to turn the fortunes of their future families around for generations. They have the chance of a lifetime but instead are obsessed with a guy that left office in 1921. When back people sang "we shall overcome," I'm guessing that they had the dream that their grandchildren could get a very highly rated education leading to a great job. Wilson may have completely sucked on racial issues nearly 100 years ago, but don't let him be the reason that you throw away an Ivy League education.
 
I should have made it clear I was providing an answer to Clean's question, "Why would they hate him?" not advocating for the demonstraters. Spider, of course you right about the value of a Princeton education.

If we started scrubbing our history clean of those "unenlightened" by today's standards, there wouldn't be much to study.
 
Are the Princeton Profs monsters for making these students take their tests as scheduled?
 
I do not buy "peaceful" either. Would it be peaceful if they did it in a court of law, hospital or funeral home? I think not. They should have been arrested for disturbing the peace - all of them.
 
Will be interesting to see if Mizzou will be able to find a decent replacement for Pinkel. I can't imagine any decent head coach wanting to get involved in that dumpster fire.

Yes, never has a group been so entitled and demanding.

Of course, the college kids have had a through brain washing by the Left, so there's that. This movement reminds of Mao's cultural revolution of the late 60s on a much smaller scale.

I see that the husband and wife professors at Yale that were attacked because they had the nerve to say that trick-or-treaters had the right to wear "offensive" costumes, like Mullan, stepped down. They said the chill in freedom of speech at Yale was intolerable.

Yeah, we need to toughen kids up. Read more Hansel and Gretel and other Grimm's Tales and less of this Koala Lu I love You and Make Way for Ducklings. When you grow up thinking you're just a screw up or two away from being ditched in the woods, you respect/fear your elders more and don't whine about insignificant crap.
 
My hope is that most of these pathetic dumbasses are a loud but very small minority of young "adults," as the radical hippie baby boomers were on college campuses in the '60s. They caused havoc on campus, but the vast majority of them grew up and ditched their idiocy once they had to make it in the real world. Being a SJW is a little like forming a rock band. It's easy to start, but it's pretty hard and unusual be able to make a living at it. That leads most of them to have to get real jobs, and it doesn't take more than few years of gainful employment and paying taxes for someone to drop most of that horse ****, even if they don't embrace full-blown ideological conservatism.

From what I can see, more conservative student activists "go pro" than liberal activists do. I knew several liberal activists back in the day, and very, very few of them are still activists. Most of them eventually got real jobs, had families, and greatly moderated their views. However, most conservative activists I knew at the same time are still conservative activists (working for groups like Americans for Prosperity, Heritage Foundation, Empower Texans, etc.), because if you're willing to sell your soul, there's often someone willing to buy it.

If you're a good advocate who seems sincere, some corporate hack will pay you to spout his message. Good example is Michael Quinn Sullivan, whom I've known for several years. The guy was just an activist who worked for Ron Paul for a while, then went to work for the Texas Public Policy Foundation doing tax and budget stuff, and now he's got Tim Dunn's (oil money) balls firmly entrenched in his mouth and makes very good money to have said balls in his mouth. Sullivan is probably the most famous example in Texas (and the most feared activist in the Capitol), but he's one of many. There are tons of Michael Sullivan starter-kits all over the place.

I agree with you and hope you are right
then I remember that right now over 94 MILLION people of "worker age" are not in the employment pool or evenlooking
It appears to be very easy to live a life just off the rest of us paying taxes.
There will be some in the current SJW band who will live gov't provided life. let's hope it will be a small number
and the rest grow up.


reading some of these demands I wonder if as the list is being drawn up they try to put down the most ludicrous thing they can think of and then laugh at how the adult President or Chancellor will take it seriously.

but sadly, they are taking them seriously because they don't want these things to escalate to the point where they wind up like the U. of Missouri President and Co.

It shocks me how racist some of their demands are, particularly when Black Lives Matter has anything to say about it.

You do realize that figure includes permanently disabled, retired and several other categories of people you wouldn't expect to be big contributors into the workforce, right?

Clearly more people need to be working but the exaggerations stated as facts don't make a better point.

The problem isn't the kids that are whiny idealists that want something for nothing. Kids have always been that way. The problem is that the adults in the room are giving in. Its like giving the two year old at the store the toy they want so they will quit crying. Works great in the moment but you have hell to pay every time you walk into the store as the demands only get bigger and bigger.

You forgot the largest component of the 94 million -- housewives.
