The college president should man up, order campus police to arrest the protesters.
 
There's always welding school. Rarely progressive. :)

These students are in for a rude awakening when they enter the workplace. Best case is they'll be waiting tables and living in Mom's basement while considering going back to school for an advanced degree...and accumulating even more student loan debt which will never be repaid.

Your jealousy is showing, miles.
 
Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash.

A professor said he is facing calls to resign after he disagreed with a group of protesters calling on white students to leave campus for a day.

Activists at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. demanded that "all white people leave campus" for a "day of absence," Professor Bret Weinstein said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Weinstein expressed his disagreement with the plan in a statement, which led to the activists confronting him on video and demanding he resign.

"They imagined that I'm a racist," Weinstein said. "That has caused them to imagine that I have no right to speak."

Weinstein said the "mob" of activists is protesting perceived "white privilege."

He said the activists blocked campus police from entering the building where they had cornered him.

He added that even after the initial incident, college president Dr. George Bridges has ordered police to stand down from any action against the activists.

"This is something out of another country," Carlson said.

Weinstein said he is a "very progressive" person politically, but is in disbelief in what leftist elements like the group of activists is trying to do.
Reported.
 
I haven't seen any.
But I noticed that he, too has more conservative or centrist inclinations.

Just out of curiosity:
How many GB 'tards did you report since you joined, if any?

Don't ask Spidey to do math.

It's the very first thread on the board.
 
Just wow.

That aside, how many?
Let me paraphrase it: "How many posts of GBers who professed 'liberal/ left' views did you report, if any?

ADDIT.
I know for a fact that you reported several GBers who have conservative- centrist leanings, for posts far more benign than the lib. posts preceding them.
At least from what I observed since I joined the forum 2 years ago.

I think the article violated forum rules by quoting longer than 5 paragraphs, is all I can see. Content wasn't off. Stupid rule, maybe, but it's clearly stated.
 
You're actually right.

I just got distracted by my longstanding feud with spidey,
Related to the fact that he kept reporting me and others for writing "reported + explanations why that is" under certain outrageous posts in breach of forum rules. While he never reported, or even seemed to defend those types of posts.

Nothing intense, just a superficial fight.

Unbelievable! The idiot activists are clearly in the wrong in their assessment of racism, it's them that are behaving in a racist manner. But blocking the campus rent-a-cops? That's asking for trouble. But that didn't matter since the college president is unbelievably stupid by letting the students win. Fuck that noise. Call in the real cops and haul the stupid kids to jail, then educate the idiot president on how security teams should be used.

After one go with Spidey last year where his debate just went in this circle of WTF frustration, I just mostly skim past him.
