Most of these “racial incidents” are invented and fabricated by the so-called victims themselves.
I don’t think the thug tactics will fly at Ithaca.
Too many VERY privileged white families send their kids to that school.

DeMint at Yale: ‘Academic Censorship as a Political Weapon’
When says something ‘unpopular’ then gets hounded, (by progressive students),out of business or bullied, which can happen almost anywhere... But they are most likely to happen in our colleges and universities, where honest inquiry and debate are ‘quickly becoming secondary’.. to the “right†not to hear contrary opinions.
These instances of ‘academic intolerance’ go hand in hand with a general ‘revolutionary insanity among students’ which seems to be promoted MORE THAN than actual education on campus these days.
Further....When you put blinders on students to protect them from ideas that might hurt their feelings, they also become blinded to ridiculous and offensive behavior of their own.
Any institution of higher learning worthy of the name should be open to the free exchange of ideas......Censorship in academia is being excused using the same justifications for all censorship through history: Those considered lacking in virtue don’t get a platform to speak. Free speech applies only to people saying the right things.
The Left knows that if there is honest and open debate, those who have the truth on their side will win out—and this happens to be the worst-case scenario for people who aren’t concerned with the truth as much as political ‘POWER’. ....(which is exactly what the students shouted..”We have power”.)
Academic censorship, political correctness, saying who has the right to speak on a topic and who does not, bullying those who break the taboos of this new cultural Marxism—it all adds up to a means of control.
Control who gets to speak, and you control the debate. Control the debate, and you control how people think. Control how people think, and you control society....the easiest way to win an argument is to tape your opponent’s mouth shut..... (And therefore TRUTH is never known).
