It’s nice to hear someone finally calling this what it is.

Ted Cruz calls out ‘pampered teenagers’ on college campuses – and their parents

‘We shouldn’t be raising a generation of young people that are so pampered that they never have heard anything that offends them’

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz didn’t hold back when asked recently about the special snowflakes demanding speech they disagree with be squashed.

In an interview with Adam Carolla, he called whiny students “pampered teenagers,” and said they do not have a right not to be offended.

Real Clear Politics reports:

“There are many on the left who I think are weakening this country,” Cruz told the popular podcaster. “So you talk about, for example, universities. You see at universities these essentially pampered teenagers, many of them from very wealthy homes, who complain that they don’t want to hear anything that they disagree with. That it is a microaggression and it is the most bizarre and anti-academic notion that you can have.”

“I agree with John Stuart Mill,” Cruz said about free speech on campus. “The best cure for bad speech is more speech.

It gets better when Cruz takes it a step further, and calls out the reason why insufferably indignant students are not used to hearing the word “no.”

“And we shouldn’t be raising a generation of young people that are so pampered that they never have heard anything that offends them,” Cruz added. “Well, we don’t have a right not to be offended. We have a moral obligation to [speak] the truth and to confront evil.”

Cruz went on to dismiss as foolish the clamoring by some students of color to remove reminders of Woodrow Wilson at his alma mater, Princeton University, because the former president was racist.
