Ivy League ‘crybullies’ failing classes, requesting extensions to offset stress
By Madison Gesiotto - The Washington Times - Thursday, February 25, 2016

Millennials at Brown University have officially gone off the deep end, now comparing their social justice work to full-time jobs and requesting special treatment from the university.

Their ridiculous requests include excused class absences and assignment extensions.

“There are people breaking down, dropping out of classes and failing classes because of the activism they are taking on,” an undergraduate student at Brown University told the Brown Daily Herald.

Apparently, this student and others at Brown have been too busy pushing their leftist agendas to remember why they are in college in the first place.

“When faced with the decision of completing activist work or studying for an exam, students sometimes feel obligated to choose the former,” Liliana Sampedro, Brown University sophomore, told the Herald.

Miss Sampedro further expressed displeasure with her professor’s refusal to grant a week extension on a research project that she claimed she was too tired and hungry to complete after her student activism efforts.

What the Campus Crybully Wars Are Really About
The end of education as we know it.
February 29, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

The campus wars aren’t really about race. Race and the rest of the identity politics roster are the engine for transforming an academic environment into an activist environment.

The average campus already skews left, but it maintains the pretense of serving an educational purpose. The demands put forward on various campuses begin with racial privileges, but do not end there. These demands call for politicizing every department, the mandatory political indoctrination of all students and faculty, and the submission of non-political academic departments to activist political ones.

The campus wars are a declaration that activist non-academic departments that offer identity politics analysis while contributing nothing and which often owe their existence to campus clashes from a previous generation, should dominate all areas of life and thought at every university.

Imagine if physics majors rioted and demanded that every single area of study on campus had to incorporate theoretical physics and hire physics majors. That is exactly what is happening with identity politics studies. It’s a naked power grab that has the potential to redefine academia as we know it.

While black students are the public face of the campaign, behind them are embedded faculty radicals like Melissa Click whose abuses recently led to her firing from the University of Missouri. Click’s body of work, gender, race and sexuality analyses of popular culture, is fairly typical of the activist faculty behind the power grab. Media studies is often confused with journalism, but the two have little in common. Media studies has become a guide to politicizing culture by viewing it through the intersectional lens.

Click’s husband, Richard Callahan, who also took part in the harassment, is a religion professor on paper, but in practice offers class analysis of religious practices. These resumes are fairly typical of the faculty activists behind the crybully insurgency. They may belong to anthropology, sociology, religious studies or a dozen other departments, but all they ever do is overlay their political filter over a given field.

They’re not academics; they’re activists with a mandate to impose their filter on everyone.

When we talk about political correctness, it isn’t just about banning certain jokes. That’s the smallest part of it. Political correctness is about making the political filter, the left’s lens, mandatory for all.

The campus wars are dividing universities between academic departments and activist departments. The activist demands call for embedding activism deeper into the structure of universities with more activist deans, departments and professors dedicated to their agenda. Funding is diverted from education to activism. Activist curriculums become mandatory to recruit more student activists.

Student activists demand exemptions from their studies for activism and academic bankruptcy that will allow them to erase entire semesters from their records. Academics take a backseat to activism. The purpose of the institution ceases to be education. Instead the university exists to manufacture more activists to make more demands, first of the university, and then of everyone else.

Crybullies Demand "Office for Social Transformation" to Punish Political Incorrectness
March 7, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Campus crybullies are frantically outdoing each other to come up with the nastiest and craziest assaults on free speech and sanity. Robby Soave appears to have found a new winner.

Students at Western Washington University have reached a turning point in their campus’s hxstory. (For one thing, they’re now spelling it with an X—more on that later.) Activists are demanding the creation of a new college dedicated to social justice activism, a student committee to police offensive speech, and culturally segregated living arrangements at the school, which is in Bellingham, up in the very northwest corner of the state.

The demands are for a College of Power and Liberation to teach social justice...

...

They want show trials, executions with crybully kangaroo courts and they want to spell them as "crxbully cangarxx cxxrts". Because social justice.

And this is only the beginning, enemies of the state!

These demands come out of a long hxstory of oppression played out at all levels of schooling... these demands are the beginning of a transformation rather than a Band-Aid solution to the problems

Well isn't that just xxxxx xxxxxxx.

Bill Whittle is back and puts the campus Social Justice Warriors in the crosshairs.

Hip-Hop rhyming is called Skeltonic verse, and it was invented by the man who wrote those lines: White Male John Skelton, who was born in England in 1463.

Now if all of this sounds petty, and ridiculous, and racist, and utterly barking mad to you… well, it sounds that way to me too. But that is who these progressive crybully tribalists are: insecure fascists who want to tell other people how to wear their hair.

They become apoplectic about things like the Washington Redskins, but they may want to take a lesson from another despised and marginalized group of American immigrants: the Irish. The two great slurs leveled against the immigrant Irish concerned their drunkenness and their violence. Here’s the mascot they chose for themselves – a drunken fighting Leprechaun -- and here’s the parade they have annually and here’s the green beer we all drink on St. Patrick’s day, and once a year everyone in America is Irish including this left wing, divisive, Alinskyite agitator [Obama]. That’s because unlike the Social Justice Weenies, the Irish have a sense of humor, which they no doubt culturally appropriated from our common African ancestors.

So Jesus, Mary and Joseph, why don’t you grow up, you whiny little crybabies?

Diets are a Tool of "White Heteronormative Society”
May 10, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Also sanity is a notorious tool of “white heteronormative society” which is why the crybullies and social justice warriors utterly reject it. After all one person's definition of crazy is another person's University of Minnesota event.

A self-proclaimed fat activist, Virgie Tovar, promoted the idea that overweight people are an oppressed class at a University of Minnesota event called “Dispelling Myths: Fat, Fatphobia, and Challenging Social Stereotypes.”

The event, held on International No Diet Day (May 6), was sponsored in part by the university’s School of Public Health and its Office for Equity and Diversity.

Of course it was. Every victim group must have its day. As long as it uses the right trigger words.

...

Sure it's absurd. But there will be people for whom this will click, who will experience "consciousness raising" and go on to great succeed in their new victimhood.

And what's next?

College to Hold Benefit Concert for Muslim Student Criticized by Conservative Prof
December 11, 2016
Daniel Greenfield

Crybullies cry almost as easily as they bully. Take the case of Nada Merghani, a Muslim "refugee" who was investigated by the Secret Service for alleged threats against Trump.

In August, just before Donald Trump was set to take the stage to speak at my university, UNC-Wilmington, a student posted on Facebook, “Y’all are not prepared for what I’m about to do.” The context of the quote made it seem like a threat so the Secret Service paid the student a visit. Readers shouldn’t let the use of the term “Y’all” fool them. This threat wasn’t issued by a redneck wanting to see the Donald dead. In fact, our UNCW rednecks love Donald Trump. The most frightening type of student imaginable made the post: A self-described “queer Muslim social justice warrior” (hereafter: SJW).

That's Mike Adams writing about Nada. You'll hear more about him in a moment.

“Expect to see me at the Trump rally on Tuesday. Y’all are not prepared for what I’m about to do,” read Merghani’s Facebook post, referring to the candidate’s Aug. 9 rally where he would make his controversial “Second Amendment people” remark.

“All I can say is pray I make it out of this alive.”

You can see why the Secret Service noticed. So Nada began demanding armed guards.

...

That's right. A benefit concert.

"Native Americans who piece together Southern rock full of gospel harmonies, hip-hop inflections and Motown soul with a journeyman work ethic. With bold songwriting and bewitching arrangements, DWR breaks rules effortlessly."- Sylvia Pfeiffenberger, "Indy Week"

I hope the organizers will provide an armed escort in the form of a thousand handpicked Swiss Guards, a royal chariot and forty handmaidens to escort her to and from the concert, after which she will like literally cry and then angrily denounce/sue someone while the media writes sympathetic stories about her suffering.

HOW TO TALK LIKE A SOCIAL JUSTICE CAMPUS CRYBULLY
It’s not the end of free speech, it’s just the end of speech that is free.
April 20, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

...

Free speech is actually not at all endangered on campus, according to the Wellesley News which defines free speech as any speech that protects the underprivileged. The only free speech is left-wing speech. Any other speech is a form of oppression against the underprivileged who have the privilege of calling it out by harassing anyone who engages in it to protect their existence from your existence.

That includes lying down in the middle of freeway traffic so as to impede white supremacy by preventing teachers from getting to work, kids from getting to schools and ambulances from transporting dying patients to the hospital. This calls attention to the plight of angry African Studies majors who almost read “Between the World and Me” and named their gerbils after wanted terrorist Assata Shakur.

All non-social justice forms of speech are hate speech. These include supporting Trump, quoting the Bill of Rights or refusing to check your privilege. Checking your privilege determines how much free speech you really have. The privileged have the least free speech because of their burden of privilege and the underprivileged are privileged with the widest latitude of free speech.

...

The essence of totalitarian privilege is the insistence that your identity and politics endow you with unique rights and powers. Orwellian word games can mask privilege as the intersectional lack of it, but it’s still all the same. Oppressors begin by insisting that they are the oppressed. Wars start in the name of peace. Social justice is eliminated in the name of social justice.

It’s not the end of free speech, the campus crybullies insist. It’s just the end of speech that is free.

THERAPEUTIC UNIVERSITIES AND SOFT DESPOTISM
The safe-space's heart of darkness.
May 1, 2017

Bruce Thornton

The phenomenon of rich, privileged “snowflake” college students demanding “safe spaces” from “microagressions” rightly provokes derision and scorn from normal people. Those who live among the slings and arrows of the real world, where actions have consequences and one’s delicate self-esteem is a matter of indifference, can only shake their heads at such childish tantrums. But the roots of this degradation of the university’s traditional mission to cultivate critical reasoning rather than narcissism run deep in our therapeutic culture, and threaten the virtues and qualities of mind necessary for self-rule and political freedom.

Start with the “self-esteem” fad that colonized the schools more than 25 years ago. In 1991 a widely publicized “study” proclaimed, in the words of a New York Times headline, “Gender Bias in Schools Is Still Short-Changing Girls.” Because of the “unconscious bias” of teachers, the tale went, grade-school girls are wounded in their self-esteem and thus rendered incapable of excelling in traditional male-dominated disciplines like science and math. Though the study’s methodology and conclusions were quickly discredited, it went on to provide intellectual support for the $600 million Gender Equity in Education Act of 1993. It also encouraged the more expansive application of Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendment Act, which threatened the cut-off of federal money to colleges in order to coerce them into policing “discrimination” on the “basis of sex.”

This is just one example of how left-wing identity politics, in this case feminism, generated phony “research” that gave a patina of science to contested and dubious ideology, which then became enshrined in federal law. Today, the abuse of Title IX drives the administrative infrastructure of universities that caters to selected victim-groups, creates unconstitutional inquisitions that investigate and punish allegations of “sexual assault,” and shuts-down free speech by conservatives. After all, we mustn’t let wounded self-esteem damage the prospects of women and minorities already victimized by the “patriarchy” and “racism.”

...

Bad ideas make bad schools, bad schools make bad citizens, bad citizens make bad laws, bad laws make bad government. That’s the recipe for tyranny.

President Edison Jackson was not pleased to see his students exhibit such behavior and was forced to interrupt DeVos’s speech for several minutes to address the graduates who continued getting louder and louder.

“If this behavior continues your degrees will be mailed to you," he said. "Choose which way you want to go.”

Of course, the behavior continued and DeVos was allowed to continue, though still drowned out.

The angry students had petitioned school leadership to rescind the invitation to DeVos, calling it an “insult” to the legacy of the college. The Florida State chapter of the NAACP called on Jackson to resign.

Jackson never backed down and responded in a pro-free speech response to student complaints:
