The students quoted in the article are very brave. Shame on Brown.

Dead Conservatives Society?

Also, students set up a safe space for those who might attend the debate and be shaken by something they heard. A "safe space"? Yes. This space, in the words of Judith Shulevitz, writing in the New York Times, was a room "equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies, as well as students and staff members trained to deal with trauma."

I am not springing a parody on you. This sort of room is set up at Brown and other colleges and universities around the country.

A funny quote from the article:

The push now is to transform Fall Weekend into Indigenous Peoples Day. Or is it Indigenous Peoples Day? Im sure the placement of that apostrophe is cause for hot debate, or would be, if the fevered Left were (more) literate.

Remember the Samizdat and how we pitied those who had to go underground to freely speak?

The evil is here now.

An article like this one comes along once in awhile at National Review, and reminds me how good NR can sometimes be.

Not an earth-shaking article for anyone on FreeRepublic, but it was an excellent well written piece that skewers PC’ers from a fresh perspective. The humor, unfortunately, is all irony. That, too, would be wasted on the libs.

Thanks for posting.

That was a good article, and cuts to the bone of the collective inferiority complex behind all this campus angst.

What does free inquiry threaten? Indefensible ideas and dogma.
Who does freedom threaten? Those who believe themselves to be weak and inferior.

The two Reason@Brown students sound like they can take the heat, but they risk expulsion by Brown for being excessively able.
