College/university SNOWFLAKES

[Mills]

I think we should all use our GI bills when we retire to go back to school and do nothing more than troll these little snowflakes.

For the Country, this is a disaster.

For my kids, this is GREAT!! I'm not raising them to be pussy's and to run to gubmint at the least perceived slight. I am raising them that sometimes life isn't fair and you need to work harder and dig deeper; to never quit; never succumb or let yourself get beatdown if you are in the right.

I give them room to fail and then am quietly standing nearby to hold them, hug them and also quietly AAR why it went wrong and how to avoid that result in the future.

They are strong, resilient kids who will one day reign supreme over the fawning, feckless sycophants in "progressive-land".

This is an American epic fail.

University of Florida offers counseling for students 'troubled' by Halloween costumes


Published October 14, 2016
· FoxNews.com

The University of Florida is offering counseling to anyone who gets offended by any costumes worn this coming Halloween.

The school wrote in a blog post Monday urging students to “think about your choices of costumes and themes.”

“Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions. Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people. Also, keep in mind that social media posts can have a long-term impact on your personal and professional reputation,” the post read.

The school reminded students that anyone who is offended or troubled by an incident or a costume, they could seek counseling at the wellness center or alert the school’s Bias Education Response Team which provides support to those who were impacted.

“If you are troubled by an incident that does occur, please know that there are many resources available. Please take advantage of the 7 day a week presence of the U Matter, We Care program at the University of Florida by emailing umatter@ufl.edu. Additionally, there is a 24/7 counselor in the Counseling and Wellness Center available to speak by phone.”

The University of Florida’s post comes days after Wisconsin-La Crosse hosted an event that attempted to educate students on not dressing like a racist. About 30 students showed up to the event, which was advertised with posters asking “Is Your Costume Racist?”

One school district in Connecticut was also cracking down on clown costumes after the “killer clown” fear that has plagued cities nationwide. The district prohibited clown costumes and any “symbols of terror” for Halloween outfits.

So what is the end game on this? To outlaw the celebration of Halloween or the continued redefinition of racism and assault of the 1st Amendment?

According to Wikipedia, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has over 10,000 students. The special snowflake students in places like these are probably a tiny, albeit loud-mouthed, minority, so hopefully our youth aren't completely screwed up. The big concern are the college faculty and admin types who coddle and abet this behavior, probably because they are special snowflakes themselves who got into academia to avoid having to deal with the real world.

Yeah, you got out when the gettin was good ...

Have seen a marked increase in metrosexual "men" this semester ... You know the kind, hippie beards, hair done up in "man-buns", wearing flannel shirts, skinny jeans and some type of sandal, all the while puffing on one of those "Vape" things.

Thankfully, ALL my classes this semester are in the science building, so I don't have to cross campus or see them too long. I take the train in, walk to the science building, take my classes, then walk back to the train. It's all about limiting my exposure to them.

You forgot the big earrings and tattoos

The phrases "man buns" and "puffing" should never appear in the same post.

Oh, right...talking college campuses - carry on.

Please. If you're going to label those douche bags, could you at least use the proper moniker? Their proper identifier is "Lumbersexuals". They are of the same build, effeminacy, attitude and loathsome character as metrosexuals yet they adopt a frail and wispy facade of rugged manliness like that of a woodsman, roughneck or hunter in order to hopefully impress the independent woman on campus (okay, coffee shop/book reading) who is seeking out her alpha male.

Wow! I had no idea how abrasive us older generation types were (and I don't think of myself as that old). What an article! I expect Putin has been reading stuff like this and thinking what a bunch of pussies these Americans have become. It's no wonder they are in the process of preparing for war (Russia, incase you missed my intent).

What are we to do when these hurt feeling, sniveling wimps get drafted and are supposed to go out and fight a real enemy? Okay, that was a rhetorical question. It is going to boil down to us guys who thought we could kick back and retire peacefully. Guess I'm going to have to let my kid read some of these articles so that he knows what's going on when he goes to college.

Tomahawk, you have read the cards right. It is all about perception (hence this safe space shit). The girlies look at these bearded, flannel clad guys and think they are onto something. Too bad the media keeps the real warriors who are out fighting for our country hidden. I guess that would probably scare the young chickies of today and they would search for a safe space free of real men, where only the pretend guys are........so sad!

It's not their fault they have fine-tuned t the exterior that attracts girls, and skip the repulsive interior. It is we neanderthals who refuse to evolve Had a lady friend who declined men from Bragg for years only to get hitched by a lumbersexual in Florida. Yes, earrings, tattos and all. Could have been a poster guy in "gun magazine"

...but yes, they are small percentage but are the loudest. I imagine they give the professors hard time as well with every hurt feeling.

Wonder if they appreciated the phrase "unindicted felon"...this election cycle...probably not - that'd be a triggering event...

Don't say 'man up,' 'like a girl,' Chico State athletes say

Students at California State University-Chico are being treated to an educational campaign instructing them to avoid phrases like “man up” and “like a girl.”

The campaign was adopted at the urging of the Chico State Student Athlete Advisory Committee, which hopes that the poster campaign will lead students to avoid potentially offensive terms.

The school’s athletics department announced last week that it will participate in the “You Don’t Say” campaign at the behest of the Chico State Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and has already begun hanging posters around campus admonishing students to avoid a variety of potentially-offensive words and phrases.

Lol, on campus, today...might just be considered foreplay depending on circumstances...just don't go calling anyone an illegal alien...

But if you "man up like a girl", that's probably acceptable...
