What is this "cry for a safe space" schlock? What is that supposed to mean? I'm sorry... you want a safe space, go back home to mommy and put your diaper back on, I'm sure she has a nice playpen for you. You want to stay in COLLEGE, then you oughta learn you're not a 3 year old any more, and best grow up some. Right quick.

it's disturbing how wide spread this psychosis is at college campuses. It is one of the reasons I no longer teach. These students are unteachable.

The Chinese call USA Millennials "strawberries" because they are so easily bruised. Before long they will call them serfs.

Just reading the title of Uncommon's post caused me to enjoy a laugh that lasted about 10 seconds.
I'm still off and on laughing at it.
Mommy needs to come visit college in order to wipe the noses of these poor tender little babies.

While I think this is a ridiculous reaction on the part of the students, part of the reason for it is availability of communication technology. Most of these are young people with little experience in the real world. Imagine when you were young how many impulses you felt that were frustrated by the fact that you were alone in your feelings. Would you have acted on them if it was easy to gather a group of other inexperienced, attention-seeking people to create a demonstration?
Yes, the propaganda machine within public education is partly at fault for the lack of reasoning of these kids. Yes, the media loves to stir the pot of political correctness and statistism.
There are forces that are manipulating these inexperienced young people. Without the wisdom gained by real life (as opposed to life as portrayed by television) they are easy targets. No one has taught them to think and the business of education is purposely failing them.

Oh, Lord. This is my alma mater. Damn good academics, but they have gone completely insane. My father went there, and I, and both my children.

They all need a good spanking

Uh.....

what?

Could this be real? Have the worlds delite gone beyond creating useless idiots?...don't even know what to call them now...

What strikes me is that if this is their biggest concern given everything else going on in the world then these students are beyond clueless, They qualify as useful idiots in the purest form. Good luck to them after they graduate (if they are not paralyzed by fear) in finding employment. There aren't ANY safe-places in the world although Gitmo in Cuba might qualify.

Awww. Poor babies.
Gee, I wonder how they'd react if they were cops being shot at, or front line marines. I guess you'd need a clean-up crew. Not for the blood, but for the poop.

Realize that these students are the best and brightest products of our educational system, and be afraid.

I can't imagine what the sheeples' reaction would have been if "Trump says to get a job" was chalked on a sidewalk.

I can't wait to order large fries from these intellectual powerhouses. Hahaha, just kidding. McDonald's wouldn't hire them. They'd have to be able to do stuff. But it would be fun to order a Whopper at McD's and watch them crumble.

So, Snopes found a tweet that I had made about this, and decided to include me in their "False" rating of the Emory story:

However, while I could have all my readers fit into a broom closet, I had my own response:

The most fragile hot house orchid does not get to dictate the political atmosphere that allows them to "feel" safe when it creates a corrosive atmosphere for the other freedom loving plants on the campus - I.e. The hearty sort that attend Emory specifically so they can survive and thrive when they leave the bio bubble that is college life.
BTW I can tell you that as an attorney in the "real world" political speech is the most highly protected form of speech under the constitution. Those who would seek to undermine free political thought are indeed dangerous and make me feel more than a little uncomfortable and threatened for my freedom and liberty, where is my safe space and free counseling!

Not sure why they are fussing, most college students should relate to using sidewalk chalk. (and play doe, marbles, finger paint and Daddy's credit card)
"A" students teach the "B" students to work for the "C" students. Then teach that the "C" students are evil and greedy for enslaving those very same "B" students.

I am voting for Trump because he tells it like it is, speaks his mind, and is going to shake things up in Washington and stick up for us citizens. Hillary will stick up for her supporters (wall street). Cruz is some religious zealot that the other senators hate. He will go no where as a president, and will get no respect from foreign countries.

....and these are the same individuals we are going to try and vote for freedom and liberty...we are truly doomed...

So the picture the author wanted us to look at showed the back of 4 students. I couldn't form any confirmatory opinion or not from that one. The next picture showed students from the quarter face, but their sign was unreadable.
