I'm about 50:50 since he made the politic choice. It would have been academically plausible if there wasn't 'race and gender theory' as an avenue to express anger at white males without reproof.

What evidence do conservatives want kept out of universities? Which books do they want banned? What entertainers do the college republicans say should "tone it down" before speaking before their sensitive ears.

Going back to Foldn's earliest posts ITT to remember how this all started:

Many pages of Foldn screaming histrionically at people later, it seems that concrete examples of this that we've uncovered are...

Waow, sounds like we really need to stop this awful scourge of SJWs!

It seems very reasonable but what did it have to do with SJW's?

It was quite funny that given some of the other posts in this thread that that was the one that stood out. At least it was a reference to Obama's comments on the subject which would seem kinda interesting to the topic.

Well, if by SJW you mean unreasonable, intolerant people who are equally afraid and angry at listening to other points of view, then yes, that's exactly who I think Obama was addressing his comments toward. Whom do you think he meant?

Do you have anything to actually say here or are you just spamming?

If your comprehension is so poor (and it is, we've seen your posts in this thread) that this is how you interpreted my post, I'm not at all shocked that somebody in the (hopeless) business of educating you advised against attempting to have a discussion about the n-word in your class.

Hint: The conservatives I'm talking about are the folks (like you, I'm talking about you!!) in this thread who continue to cite their own imagination as part of this debate.

Good job, you're finally learning to back off from the scary (and hilariously wrong) assertions about banning speech and people being fired!

Uh, that's your answer? Nice dodge, I guess. You're not the first.

wat?

Professor makes reasonable decision - does that require SJWs? Is there some suggestion that absent SJW's the prof would have been okay with the book being introduced into the classroom?

lol, in response to bringing up points you made earlier about microaggressive speech being banned (nope) and teachers fearing for their jobs (seems they don't have a reason to), you pivot to something something Obama comments, and I'm dodging???

Your posting here just keeps giving and giving.

I'm not pivoting anywhere. There are professors on record saying just that, they disagree with you. Microagressive speech is most certainly banned from safe spaces, that's like the very point of a safe space. It doesn't mean safe spaces are bad, that depends on what is defined to be a microaggression. So again, I'll ask, what was Obama talking about and to whom was he directing those comments?

By you, captain Tone Police? Virtually every spirited argument against a bigoted position since Mr Mexican circus music took his leave. Luckily most people here will just ignore you or call you on it, so you sort of suck at your tone policing gig.

Seems like we can all agree those professors are pretty dumb, given the total lack of professors (despite some people in this thread trying very, very hard to find some) being fired for innocuous speech.

Banned how? Like, who gets punished for it and through what process?

(in b4 another link to the Atlantic article with a "WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS")

He was talking about, and to, oversensitive college students who are too afraid of dissenting ideas. I agree with everything he said.

You generally aren't allowed to drop N-bombs in class. Hope that clears it up.

You're still not being tone policed LG.

If you ever have any arguments you wish to put forth then it wont be ignored because of your tone. At least not by me.

? So the professor made a reasonable decision and a very easy one at that.

Where did the SJW's come into the picture? Are you saying the prof wanted to allow that book to be discussed but was 'scared' off by some group of objectors knows as SJWs?

chezlaw is now arguing against quotes of FoldN posts about what FoldN's point is lol, he's just SO SURE the Holocaust denial rapist is definitely making some good points that the hated liberals aren't giving him credit for.

chez, FoldN, y'all ever notice that your never-ending quest for intellectual diversity and increased internet civility only seems to manifest itself in the EXTREMELY SMALL niche of saying racist **** without consequence?

Funny, that. Some might even say telling.

AGAIN, we have managed to find a situation where right wing professors HYPOTHETICAL FEARS of future hurt feelings qualify as a problem that should be fixed by lecturing anti-racist college kids to be more gentle, but ACTUAL RACISM by actual racists must never be called by name.

Great! If you agree with him, then it sounds like you agree with me. Except perhaps about safe spaces. You see, if you use words, phrases or actions deemed to be microaggressions, then you are typically asked to leave safe spaces. That's how that works. Not a terrible idea on it's face, actually probably quite workable, as long as safe spaces aren't forced on unwilling participants, like say an entire campus, or political meetings like student councel, and the sorts of things considered to be microagressive aren't innoculous actions like shaking your head in disagreement or silly ideas like America is the land of opportunity. (FYI, it's those people you and I agree Obama was addressing who are calling those silly things microaggressions, and considering their entire campus a safe space "threatened" by Trump chalked onto sidewalks.)

I always notice your fine work Fly it rarely fails to entertain.

but no of course it's not remotely true that there's any quest to say racist things without consequence. That's a figment of your fine imagination.

There's no way DMW has a college education

Do we need a safe space for discussing the discussion of safe spaces?

Clearly I don't, because you've managed to blow this into some thing where crazy kids are taking teachers' jobs away and colleges are banning microaggressive speech, and that is a hysterically insane fiction you've invented.

The fiction you've invented about my hysterically insane fiction is boring.

FnD is clearly trolling this forum. In fact, I think this entire thread should be moved to SMP or PU, where all of the special snowflakes can debate with Sklansky as to the likelihood that all of this "safe space" discussion s due to minority students having eaten too many lead paint chips during childhood.

And by the way, BruzeZ was a terrific racist, just terrific.
