well, I guess it does tie into the op. It is college after all.

I don't really understand what the students are protesting. I honestly don't think they have a good idea what they are trying to achieve through their protesting. But the university hasn't eliminated freedom of speech. They may, as a result of the protests, in which case they might be criticized depending on the decisions/circumstances.

The professor who restricted the freedom of the press was clearly being rebuked by the university and is no longer there.

Maybe they can issue sweaters to students with your own special letter or symbol so people who do not share your view can avoid being near you.

Can't we all just, get along..??

They are getting everything they want and are rapidly approaching the point of "what do we do now?" It either fizzles out due to boredom or we get some violence to spice things up.

Yes, knowing if I get my feelings hurt I can round up a few friends and completely destroy someone who had nothing to do with it's career...

So the Kenyan born muslim was a professional protester?
Interesting.

Was HockeyDad his supplier?

Oh No You Didn't just pull the "I know you are but what am I?" routine.
Did you?

She resigned her courtesy post in the journalism department but remains an assistant professor communications department.

Take a look at her resume and tell me that these three words don't pop in your head: What the fark?

You're correct TMC, I had scanned the CBS article which said the journalism school was reviewing whether to eliminate her and she resigned before they could come to that decision. ... To me that means they told her they were going to get rid of her if she didn't voluntarily leave.

I'm not sure I understand her position in the communication school and how that relates to U Missouri, as every article I've read has stressed that these are two different entities. I'm not sure how they are related, and I'm guessing no one else here does either.

She acted incorrectly and was clearly punished. Don't see the real tragedy. Or tyrrany...

I blame the SEC...

Good post...

That's what she said...

I can never understand him when his mouth is full.

You don't think the individuals, exhibited by Z in this thread, are a little hyperbolic with their whole "in an environment that is tyrannical"?

The issue is, at best, puzzling. I'm puzzled by why the protesters think this is the molehill they're willing to die on. But it isn't my job, responsibility or right to tell them where their efforts and credibility are best spent. But of course this sort of thing will gain traction with the groups that want to use it as an example of ivory tower education system being out of touch with dang-gum common sense.

And here's a little more from the tolerant Lefties @ yet another University

Pardon me Tom but I had to "tweek that " a lil bit....


And toss this back in again, well worth the watch IMHO

This (Black Female) Prof of Law is THE POSTER CHILD of the opportunities and successes the LEFTISTS say they want for the poor and less fortunate and minorities......So why do these lefties turn on her and attack her????


Why did I point out her gender and race???? Because she falls into TWO differing groups of MINORITIES and coming from a poverty driven upbringing.....has clearly STILL BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND not allowed herself to become delusional about how and why she was able to get where she is!!!!!!

I am puzzled by what the protest is about. There seems to me to be nothing there worth protesting about.

I find it unacceptable that university police are trying to limit free speech.

I find it unacceptable that the protesters are trying to limit access by the press.

I find it saddening that careers were ruined without an obviously logical reason.

I fully support the students right to protest.

Agreed but I'd have swapped your first line....for your last!! :)


And even more from our Higher Thinking Darlings.....

Because as we are seeing it " in some cases " leads to severe Ignorance...

Sounds like you (TCBY) are against the pursuit of higher education.

Tail.... I'm saddened that you don't feel that you can learn anything from college.

When I went in I was ignorant of a lot of things. I didn't know the process by which cells generated energy, I was unfamiliar with the genetic regulation of specific proteins, I didn't know multivariable calculus nor could I speak russian.

I'm sure colleges these days still provide these services to individuals who don't go in already knowing all of this. You must have just been a very very advanced highschool student.

College educations are by and large overpriced and overrated.

College is needed if you want to pass the bar, or practice medicine, but then there is the case of most people. Where trade school or even a few of the right books are what is actually needed. Truth is that is is wasted time and money for many. Remember, Bill Gates doesn't have a degree.....

...or a couple MIT engineers to design a ditch digging robot....
