    Yeah I think so, but don't let her have any liberties in modifying the costume...

        I don't think that Shapiro should be prevented from speaking, but I see no problem with protesting him. Why shouldn't people protest someone who advocates denying rights based on sexual orientation?

            I am 100% Ok with people protesting whatever they like. I am just surprised that the little dude generates that much commotion.

              Reed College reached peak Wokeness and the freshmen, especially ones from foreign countries who know this protesting is just grandstanding bullshit, decided they weren't getting into debt $50k per year so that they can watch a bunch of degenerate virgins lead an endless protest of classroom lectures.

              Notice how all but one or two of the protesters in the classroom are white and the people sick of their shit, aside from the foreign students, are the minority students.
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                        It’ll probably keep getting worse until we all die. I’d guess towards the end of Don Jr’s second term, 2030ish.

                          • (Those meetings ended when RAR members stopped coming; they complained of being “forced to sit in hours of fruitless meetings listening to full-grown adults cry about Aristotle.”)
                            Not sure which would be more amusing:

                            (i) That the professors' sincere devotion to Aristotle and holding meetings put the lie to the students' "efforts" (showing them to be more interested in protesting than in anything else) or

                            (ii) That the professors deliberately bored the students' will to persevere out them.

                              Colleges and universities usually have a "non-harassment" policy that prohibits anyone from engaging in intimidating communication, behavior, etc. Why were the RAR protesters not subjected to school discipline for violating policy? Why didn't the faculty members get AAUP involved and maybe file a grievance?

                              Students who are not enrolled in a class regularly walk in, disrupt the class, have signs suggesting the professor has ties to white supremacy, shout over the tops of people, and all administrators do is compromise with these people?

                              Ridiculous.

                                The Marist College athletic department changed the name of its mascot from 'Shooter' to 'Frankie' because of ongoing gun violence in the country and the stigma attached to the term 'shooter.'
                                I wonder what IPU says about this change.
