Hundreds of African American students and faculty members rallied against perceived racism at Purdue University this past weekend, holding signs and chanting things such as "Hey, hey, ho, ho, racism has got to go" and "Hell no, we won't go."
The students also released a set of demands, listed in Purdue's student paper.
Among students' demands, they call on Purdue to "revise" their "free speech policy" based on what they believe is "hate speech."
Part of the list reads, "We demand that the free speech policy be revised to address hate speech in person and through social media. We demand the university to follow harassment policies consistently to protect students from hostility."
Purdue's official policy on free speech and "hate" reads:
In a word, the University's fundamental commitment is to the principle that debate or deliberation may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even by most members of the University community to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or wrong-headed. It is for the individual members of the University community, not for the University as an institution, to make those judgments for themselves, and to act on those judgments not by seeking to suppress speech, but by openly and vigorously contesting the ideas that they oppose.This is not good enough for students at Purdue. Students believe that speech that they find offensive should be silenced, or at the very least not allowed to be freely expressed.
They also want the university to "more actively and effectively advertise and utilize the Report Hate & Bias program."
Among other things demanded by the students, they "demand that there be a 20 percent increase of underrepresented minority faculty and staff by the 2019-2020 school year" as well as "there be a 30 percent increase of underrepresented minority students by the 2019-2020 school year."
This is so out of hand, and these people are going to be asking for jobs in a couple years. America is doomed.
Black Purdue Students Demand Free Speech be “Revised”
Yes lets revise free speech.
So you all shut up and go away because your speech is offending the rest of us.
How’s that work for ya?
Is there some cosmic force that is stopping these asshats from leaving?
If so, study your coursework and graduate (if you can) and then go away.
Until then, shut up and read.
Here is some hate speech, I hate you welfare loving, entitled losers.
We may be witnessing an on going black coup?
College students right?
Yet too stupid to understand that if free speech is revised it just may end up being their speech that is restricted.
Oh to be young and dumb...................
Hillarys IRS, DOJ and Homeland Security will be recruiting them
We’ve gotten to the point where people believe they have a right to not be offended. I liked the world better when “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” was the order of the day.
I’d hazard a guess than exactly zero percent of the protesters were STEM students from this top-notch engineering school.
Sorry, crybabies, the successful students don’t have time to join you in this latest round of nonsense, not with the end of the term coming up so quickly.
I am moving to San Diego next year, the area I am moving to is 92% white.
Well, I think they will find Mitch Daniels won’t kiss their ass like they did at Missouri or Yale.

You know what they can go to hell, and yes I am a darker skinned man saying it, this is out of control, and I thought the 60’s were over.
And you have the right to "demand" based on what?
I grew up in the 30s and 40s.
Everyone harassed and insulted everyone. (No vulgar language,though).
When we’d tell our parents we’d be told,”Oh,just ignore it”.That was that.

Ship their butts over to Syria for a couple months. They’ll learn to appreciate the freedoms they already have here.
STFU. You got into college in spite of your lower grades. You bumped a more qualified student. You got lower tuition. You will get better grades than you deserve. You will graduate regardless. You will get a job offer that you don’t deserve. You will leave them and sue them for discrimination. So STFU.
We will never need these people in the workforce; our open borders ensure that ANYONE coming in will have a better work ethic than the perpetually aggrieved.
