When I posted on the mommy boards I got fed up with this line of thinking, and it was a breeding ground over there for it. Can't ask questions, means you are whatever -ist they can fit. Can't speak of things that trigger people because it is offensive.

Even in school, I have had a talk with my students about what "free speech" means, because they think it means they can say and do w/e the fuck they want in class.

There are a lot of people who just don't have any common sense.

That's the main issue.

Best I can gather is that there was a hindu swastika written in shit in one of the bathrooms. Turned into a protest, they didn't want to allow reporters into their 'safe space' protest. They demanded the president resign and apparently he did due to pressure from the university as a result of the football team refusing to play if he was president which would of cost them 750K$. From what I can gather they didn't think the president of the college did enough to raise the % of minority students and minority mental help advisers. As for the video itself its just that asian dude trying to record the public protest for the news and gets prevented from doing so.

Might be wrong on some points as my interest in this past the video is limited.

Many of the protests have been led by an organization called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student.

Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe "acknowledge his white male privilege," that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.

Just a friendly reminder that while these people are gigantic insane babies who spurn education in favor of radicalized race/gender activism. They have the ability to influence the lives of others for the worse just for disagreeing.

[Zetanio]

This is some seriously stupid shit. How is this even a thing?

[BerenTebogo]

That was 100% how that random white woman who wanted to be with the cool kids was behaving.

[Ksandra]

Am I wrong in the perception that college kids have always protested over stupid shit? But maybe the difference is now people are actually getting fired over it?

This is (probably) the first protest in history where students viewed the media as the enemy instead of an ally. Like fuck, even going back to Kent State it was the media who got the story out to the world.

Now it's all "don't appropriate our story, white media, this isn't for you."

Fair enough. That makes a lot of sense.

He makes sense, the situation doesn't.

The biggest shift is in the types of things they protest. They have gone from arguments in FAVOR of freedom of speech/right to assembly and an open dialogue of many controversial ideas and beliefs. Now they want freedom of speech shut down unless it agrees with them, they want a shutdown of any ideas and beliefs that disagree etc. But yes colleges are very activism friendly.

The best part is that mizzou is a top 3 journalism school.

Was at a bar show last week some time and some girl was talking to me during the opening bands. She sees someone wearing a shirt of the band and starts going on about it. I just said, "yeah, I like Jeremy Piven too".

Deadpan face. I was cracking up inside.

If you mean the woman at the very end asking for "muscle," according to leddit she's an assistant professor of Mass Media at the university.

Her research interests center on popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture. Her work in this area is guided by audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy. Current research projects involve 50 Shades of Grey readers, the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children's television programs.

I just don't fucking know anymore.
