"Yale should be a place of comfort for all students and you didn't do your job."

Um, no. Yale is a place of learning. For adults. It's completely within your rights to be offended and its within my rights to not give a f*ck.

No kidding.

For being so smart and reading good, they're pretty stupid.

I guess all the people who didn't get free points are busy in the library.

SJW's are the most intolerant human beings on the planet.

She's not going to like the real world after college very much.

Prof handled it like a pro.

I want to count punch everyone in that video. Reminds me of the black lives matter protest at the Bernie Sanders rally. How stupid can you be

As a former preschool teacher, for example, it is hard for me to give credence to a claim that there is something objectionably “appropriative” about a blonde­haired child’s wanting to be Mulan for a day. Pretend play is the foundation of most cognitive tasks, and it seems to me that we want to be in the business of encouraging the exercise of imagination, not constraining it. I suppose we could agree that there is a difference between fantasizing about an individual character vs. appropriating a culture, wholesale, the latter of which could be seen as (tacky)(offensive)(jejeune)(hurtful), take your pick. But, then, I wonder what is the statute of limitations on dreaming of dressing as Tiana the Frog Princess if you aren’t a black girl from New Orleans? Is it okay if you are eight, but not 18? I don’t know the answer to these questions; they seem unanswerable. Or at the least, they put us on slippery terrain that I, for one, prefer not to cross.
Which is my point.


This is what they got offended over .

Even if we could agree on how to avoid offense – and I’ll note that no one around campus seems overly concerned about the offense taken by religiously conservative folks to skin­revealing costumes – I wonder, and I am not trying to be provocative: Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious… a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?

After reading the professor's letter (from the link earlier in the thread leading to reddit), I cannot fathom how anyone could respond to it with shouting and screaming. It's well-reasoned, concise, and reasonable. The professor stated his opinion far more eloquently and with much less anger than I would have making the same point. To respond by badgering him, yelling at him, and going off the deep end is just wacky.

Someone send it to the South Park guys. They could definitely use this in their current season.

What a bunch of babies. I haven't needed a "safe space" since I was dragging around a blanky everywhere.

The only thing I can come with is she was probably on her period.

Up until we saw her face at the end, I thought she was white. She sounded pretty white right?

I don't know if that count is the worst part of that video, or the snapping, or even the douche yelling retweet.

Watch the snapping video that was posted. Everybody goes nuts when he is about to make a brilliant point about why he won't instantly apologize.

The entire group is clouded by their own hate and bullshite.

Personally, I really like this professor.
