Mizzou And Yale Show Why It's Time To Burn Universities To The Ground
From The Federalist:
Notice also that all this claptrap about "safe spaces" is a dodge. The protesters are so concerned about "safe spaces" that they formed into an angry mob to surround a lone individual and shout obscenities at him.
Where is the safe space for the Christakises?
Obviously, this isn't about safety and comfort at all. It's about raw power. It's about whose demands will get met whenever they make them-and who will be sacrificed to those demands.
The most prescient thing said about this kind of student protest culture was an observation made by Ayn Rand back during the first go-around, in the 1960s. The purpose of all the marches and sit-ins and riots, she wrote, was to condition students to accept mob rule.
Here we are fifty years later, and this is quickly becoming the openly declared purpose of universities.
This is higher ed's time for choosing. If this is the new purpose of the universities-to nurture a crop of activists trained at whipping up angry mobs, and a generation of college graduates conditioned to submit to those mobs-then there is no longer any purpose served by these institutions.
There is certainly no justification for the outrageous claim they are making on the economic resources of the average family, who sends their kids to schools whose tuition has been inflated by decades of government subsidies.
