How ‘Sensitivity Fascists’ Are Ruining Colleges
In a new column at the New York Post, the editors tear into the special snowflake crowd.
‘Sensitivity’ fascists are turning colleges into day-care centers
How will today’s college students function once they leave campus and find the world no giant “safe space” protecting them from things they don’t want to hear?
University of Pittsburgh students last week declared themselves “in danger” and “traumatized” over a provocative campus speech by righty flame-thrower Milo Yiannapoulos.
So traumatized that, at a student government hearing, they demanded to know why the school hadn’t provided on-site therapy for those who felt “invalidated” by the speech.
A speech that no one had to attend.
The student-gov president broke down in tears as she heard the complaints, then apologized for spending student funds on the guest (but said court rulings had left her no choice).
Meanwhile, two members of Bowdoin College’s student government faced impeachment for . . . attending a tequila party where some guests wore (gasp) tiny sombreros.
The school launched an instant investigation into this “act of ethnic stereotyping,” put partygoers on “social probation” and expelled the hosts from their dorms.
Oh, that more colleges had presidents like Oklahoma Wesleyan’s Everett Piper, who in December told his students to “grow up” and “get a backbone.”
“The creation of a safe space so that a countering idea cannot enter your world,” he said, “is not education — that is nothing but ideological fascism.”

This has reached a point where this is a parody of itself. Nonetheless, it is very dangerous, and it has been orchestrated to crush political opposition leftist indoctrination, and it needs to be met head-on. These are simply Hitler Youths/Mao’s Red Guards in training.
We can say now that college kids have become ‘institutionalized,’ like inmates of mental asylums.
‘Big leftist education’ needs to be broken, like any malignant monopoly. But first, we need to get our party in power to legislate remedies. (Hey didn’t we do that? Oh, forgot: we elected the GOPe.)
Avoid hiring any bozo who came out of one of these nuthouses. Avoid voting for any bozos (in particular, the GOPe) who will enable their handlers.
