College Cry Bullies In Pennsylvania Demand "Racist" Lynch Memorial Hall Be Renamed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

In a recent post, Not a Safe Space – Canadian University Suspends Yoga Class After Students Become Offended, I explained how those most responsible for the almost inconceivable authoritarian idiocy spreading across college campuses are not the students themselves, but their spineless and inept administrators.

 

These kids are more or less acting like Wall Street financiers after the bailouts. After the bankers were provided with trillions of dollars in backstops and no one went to jail for destroying the economy, they immediately paid themselves record bonuses a year after the worst of the crisis, and are now once again thieving and pillaging at will.

 

Why? Because when no one is held accountable, the incentives are in place to steal. Similarly, no adults are holding these out of control child-fascists accountable for their despicable behavior. As such, these tyrants-in-training are getting more out of control every day, and getting away with it. Thank you college administrators.

 

– From the piece: Protesters at Smith College Demand Journalists Swear Loyalty Oath Before Reporting on Them

You’ve got Trump supporters on one side, college cry bullies on the other. One group consists of self-described conservatives, the other self-described liberals. Both have authoritarian tendencies and would throw out the rule of law, civil liberties, and rationality in a heartbeat if it meant advancing their own agendas. Both are equally dangerous, and both movements appear to be growing. The depressing thing is, rather than Americans uniting under Constitutional principles, the trend seems to be two camps diverging into their own unique brands of totalitarianism. The future does not look bright should this continue.

In the latest example, this time at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania, students remarkably want to rename a building commemorating Dr. Clyde A. Lynch, the college’s 11th president who served during the Great Depression and WWII, because the word “lynch” has racist implications. This sort of epic stupidity is of course the logical outcome of college administrators consistently pandering to the inane demands of college cry bullies nationwide.

Talking Points Memo reports:

Some students at Lebanon Valley College, a private liberal arts institution in Pennsylvania, have demanded administrators rename the campus’ Lynch Memorial Hall because of the “racial connotations” associated with the term “lynching,” pennlive.com reported Tuesday.

 

The building was named after Dr. Clyde A. Lynch, the college’s 11th president who served during the Great Depression and WWII. Lynch raised $55,000 for a physical education facility that took his name and was later converted into classrooms, according to the college’s website. 

 

Student protesters also demanded that the college offer a more diverse curriculum and have its staff members undergo additional sensitivity training, according to the report.

 

The president of the college’s Black Student Union told pennlive that she thought the demands were “pretty reasonable.”

If this is considered “pretty reasonable,” we are all in very, very deep trouble.

Meanwhile, this must be creating quite the conundrum for U.S. Attorney General, the…

The alternative media acts like this crybully phenomenon just happened the other day. A quarter century ago in the late 80s / early 90s, this feminism and whites are the cause of the world's problems propaganda was being pushed back then.

Colleges teach no marketable skills whatsoever. Even students pursuing business degrees have to take these "humanities" classes as prerequisites. Once they have this drivel pumped into their minds, it makes them mentally weak and dependent on the system.

Nightengale Conant programs are excellent to deprogram oneself from this filth taught in colleges.

I wish I would have known about Nightengale Conant way back then, because it would have saved me decades wasted on dead end service level jobs.

Having an engineer degree I appreciated taking classes outside of the math and science stuff. One reason I went to my particular school was to get a more well rounded education than straight up engineering. This does eventually payoff as I can write and speak instead of just doing calculations all day long. It may not be for everyone, but some of these little details end up setting you apart from others. Two classes that everyone should take are technical writing and something involving public speaking.

Do you need a business major to work in finance or create a business? Probably not, I would use it more for making connections. Without connections, for finance, I would go straight into computer science.

As to this article, I am waiting for the dictionary to be banned for being too racist.

My username at work translates to "cigarette butt" in another language. I'm so offended by this. Every time I must report a result on a patient it is signed as " cigarette butt" on their chart. This is driving me to dispair. Is this microaggression or oppression? Obviously it is somehow directed at my gender but I may need the help of a feminist to discover the meaning and its interconnection to the rape of the world by white males.

In all fairness to the sensitivities of everyone,  I suggest that anyone with a name or title that could be offensive to more than two people now living be forced to change their nomenclature. Also all words that could in any way demean the self image of anyone must be stricken from not only public and private speech but anything in print be criminalized and filtered from the internet.

All people with the name Lynch, Adolph, Moses,

the title Chief, Pope, Mullah

nickname Red, ass hole, grunt

For those of you out there, like myself, who have experience with hiring/firing, would you hire a college grad these days?

I sure wouldn't.  Know-nothing, bad attitude, deep sense of entitlement and the minute one of them complained about some trivial bullshit like this I might not be able to resist the temptation of shooting them dead where they stand.  Then I gotta hire a lawyer, cobble together some facacta insanity plea to stay out of jail, hire MORE lawyers to keep the parents of the now-dead little darling from taking every last penny in the inveitable civil suit.... I mean it just isn't worth it taking the chance on hiring one.

What's scarier is that you're so passive, detached and ignorant. 'They merely want to rename something.' The Bolsheviks had a penchant for renaming things they didn't like either.. and look at all the wonderful things they were allowed to accomplish. These ninnying, pissant, self-important, perpetually offended simpletons are dangerous because they can be and are easily manipulated into saying and worse doing things that an otherwise intelligent individual would say is 'silly'. What happens when the request or action taken isn't 'silly' but dangerous? These are the brown shirts, these are the new Red Guard. Your reaction should be anger. These fuckmooks need to be smacked upside the fucking head the moment they start spouting out their SJW non-sense.

When they use their 1st Amendment right to openly call for the execution of police and white people in general, stripping people of their 2nd amendment, tearing down monuments of Thomas Jefferson, use physical violence to prevent people from reporting on their insanity, etc... I think it's well within the perview of someone like my self and many others to want to smack idiots in the face for shooting off their dumb fucking mouths without consequence. If you want to openly call for me to be killed for the color of my skin, I find it very reasonable for me to react violently.

You are poorly screen named.

I can get really angry. Obviously you can too if you are sticking with this point of view. You are clearly really reactive on this topic.

I can feel like being really aggressive. That does not mean I will do it. Feelings are just feelings. They come and go like the weather. It is a state, not a trait. 

I tell you this because I see you as dangerous. YOU can't let a fellow poster vent anger here without shaming him. You are not in favor of self governance at all. You want to govern his feelings. His feelings are wrong.

Go ahead, pile on. Maybe I deserve it.

I do like to think of myself as a retro-virus in the system.

While other professors are reproducing the system in the students, I am occupying a site that 1. Is not reproducing the same shit and 2. Writing new viral code. 

I talk to my students about the economy. I assign "Money as debt." I frame the stuff around the idea of Elite Crime, which is under prosecuted and under researched. I get through to some of them. And a few of them are already there and thrilled to see someone in a college class opening up the floor for these kinds of discussions. 

I try, but it is a losing battle. At best, I might be slowing down the damage a tiny bit. 

If you have a thousand starfish beached, you may not be able to get all of them back into the water, but it matters to the few that you can. Or so I try to tell myself.

Errrough! Dammit this sucks.

When my oldest went to college, I looked into why college was so damn high.  Here's one thing I found out;

In 1990 the Faculty:Administrtor ratio was around 30:1.

Guess what that ratio is now?  In the UC system one administrator will cost you on average about as much as ten new assistant professors...

Let me be clear, everything that the government subsidises will get more expensive.

So there is something I need to tell you about {deep sigh}

A lot of college aged kids don't get satire or irony. Sometimes when I pull it in lecture, they take me literally and I have to stop and repair it. They don't get a lot of cultural references. To be blunt, they don't get a lot. I push a few of my students really hard and they love it and take as many classes with me as they can get (I am deeply flattered when that happens, I admit it). There are many of the so called cry bullies that tell me my classes are too hard because I make them apply ideas rather than just memorizing materials. The come in my class and tell me they have never had a professor talk "with" them in class before, that they are used to power points or seeing a professor's back the whole semester. 

I could go on...

This is bad...

So very bad...

Giving in to this is giving up. Admin needs to spell it out to the young morons.

And the standards are completely non-existant. I have a side-gig as an associate professor. If I held my students to the same standard that I was held to as a college student in the late 80's, they would ALL FAIL.  EVERY SINGLE ONE.

We could go on and on... think I will.

Ya'll need to fucking know...^Peak^ is fucking right about this.

We have a minimum number we are required to pass. If you don't they come take your class from you and put you through a "course redesign." You become defined as a "problem professor" who teaches a "bottleneck course" (as in you are preventing them from giving out degrees).

It is not entirely Admin's fault. The state has rigged the funding formula so that they give out state funds to the colleges and universities that grant the most degrees. There is a lot of pressure on us to pass them.

Guess what? I am not passing a whole bunch this semester in one of my classes. I don't fucking care, come get me, come make me redesign this fucking course. Those students did not do the work. They did not attend (night class, they are hungry and tired). I gave them all kinds of chances, extra credit quizzes at the beginning of class that if you read before you came to class you could pass the quizzes and get points (most of them failed their first test is why I implemented this). Even then, I had folks making a 0 on those damn quizzes. I had extra credit papers they could write. Of the 4/30 who took me up on it, 2 plagiarized. What the fuck more can I do?

I see the definition of "bottleneck course" has changed a lot in 30 years!

In our day, a "bottleneck course" was an insanely difficult course specifically meant to shake-out the students that didn't belong in that major.

So for example, in our college in Computer Science, the bottleneck course was software engineering, and you either passed it or switched down to an easier major like the more generic "Information Systems." Switching down retained most of the credits you already took, so the student didn't get hurt too badly by the poor decision.  This was standard pratice for all STEM Majors back in the old days.

'Throughout these dark times I have seen students on campus arise to fight and stand in solidarity. I’ve seen marches to protest the lies in the media perpetrated against Jews and Israel. I’ve seen students with tear soaked shirts light candles for our fallen brothers and sister and pledge that they’ll do whatever it takes to bring kindness and justice to the world. I watched as thousands of people made their way to Sharon Massachusetts, just outside of Boston where Ezra was laid to rest. They keep going, they honor, they stand in solidarity, they advocate for their home, they get out of bed and they choose to live their lives for Ezra, Ziv, Naftali, Eyal, Gilad, Hadar, and everyone else who was taken for being who they were, for being Jewish, for trying to spread their light onto the world. '

Remembering Ezra Schwartz - A Hasbara Story
'What the crowd and television viewers were not told is that Ezra Schwartz, who was Jewish, was killed while traveling to perform community service in Oz Vegaon, an Israeli-occupied West Bank park that is even illegal according Israeli government law. Places such as Oz Vegaon are called outposts and their residents and those that maintain them are among the most militant of the settler population.

The park, which Schwartz and his fellow Yeshiva students had previously visited twice in order “to clean and beautify,” according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz (registration required), contains a memorial to the three Jewish Israeli West Bank teens who were kidnapped and killed near there in the summer of 2014. Their killing served as a pretext for Israel’s subsequent brutal invasion of Gaza.

Oz Vegaon is located in a region known of Gush Etzion. This place is the scene of mass civil Palestinian insurrection in which the participants hope to obtain national self-determination and freedom from the yoke of a more than half century of Israeli oppression. By performing community service in an outpost in Gush Etzion, Schwartz became a partisan in ongoing civil strife and was in no way a victim “of senseless violence” in the same way as the Americans who were killed recently in ISIS attacks in Paris and Mali.'

My idiot cousin has decided that after three years in college he is now a Progressive. That history doesn't matter because it is in the past and all that matters is the future. That we should all work to advance to the bright future we have in store for us if we become progressive.

He said that learning history is what turns us into bigots because we might want to return to the ways of the past if we learn about them. That babies are born pure and that learning history in school is what causes us to learn hatred for other people.

I asked him if his eyes were taped open and his arms strapped to the chair during his brainwashing.

Question - you may recall the McCarthy era, we (as a country) were very far right. Anyone labeled a 'Communist' was treated like public enemy number 1.  What label today resembles those dark days ?

Answer- Racist

I really don't see why a person labeled a racist should be villainized or even criticized.  One is not born a racist, it's simply one's experiences that shapes his/her opinions.  So what's the big deal?  Once again who benefits and gains an 'edge' from the whole lie. It is in their interest to keep it alive . . . and they do.
