WP: Yale’s president tells minority students: ‘We failed you’

From the WP comments:

* Yikes! What are these students majoring in? Insane Hypersensitivity Studies? I thought Yale had eliminated Smug Entitlement 101 as a required course.

I feel offended. Apparently, everyone reading this message (or at least Yale’s Dean) must appease me for that reason alone.

* Let’s see, a Frat is alleged to have not allowed in black girls, an allegation that has been refuted, but yet there is a Black Student Alliance on campus. Anyone notice anything here. I’m surprised those girls were not excoriated by the BSA for mingling with the ‘oppressor’ class.

Not only does much of this sound like an attempt to censor speech and control thought, but also a further attempt to extract special privileges. Not enough mental health care and such should be specifically geared to blacks. Well who would staff these clinics, better not be white professionals, maybe they could import Louis Farrakhan to run them.

Maybe all whites should be thrown out and then this could be a blacks only college. Ah but we already have those and these black students have rejected them.

But here we have these idiots and apprentice thugs first surrounding a Dean and later a college master, ironically questioning him but also shouting him down (that sounds rational and effective doesn’t it) and then they have the gall to claim they are harassed and intimidated.

And these jerks belong to a racist group that lobbies and threatens college personnel for privileges and rights. And just imagine their screams and crocodile tears if there was such as a White Student Alliance, which here seems terribly necessary.

Sounds like another gutless college self loathing idiot about to cave in to a hateful minority. Woe to Yale and the ghosts of all those who fought for liberty and free speech in this country.

* The white students should get together and demand a white student center along with a white dean sponsor who could listen to them whine.

* There is nothing in this article that deals with any issues of “safety”…are people “unsafe” because certain people weren’t allowed in a party? Of course not. Get a grip people, sheesh.

* Chronic appeasement begets a sense of entitlement. Offensive Halloween costumes? Hurtful e-mails? Not exactly our greatest generation.

* And now you are alienating the legal citizens and caucasians. How about judge students on their ability to perform the work in the class instead of by worrying about their color or nationality? Is that too much to ask, judge by accomplishments? So sick of a few getting their voice out there. Stop voting for liberals, vote for common sense, and do not vote for legacy or incumbent politicians, even if you have to move party lines.

* Appeasement of swaddled children.

* Can I slap some of those people? They are squandering the time they have at Yale! God knows if I was given such an opportunity I wouldnt being crying about some jerk fratbros not letting me into their party cause Im not white! YOU ARE AT YALE! Get a good degree, get a sweet job, and applaud yourself. Dont waste it trying to party with SAE!

* What a group of fools. the mere fact that this Dean even legitimized their infantile arguments is appalling. They should be verbally smacked down in no uncertain terms, as befits idiots who have idiotic ideas. The email in question was actually a model of liberal tolerance and fairness, the fact that it was offensive to them speaks volumes about the coddling of infantile students today.
