Mob of Yale students encircling professor and angrily demanding an apology over Halloween costumes
Daily Mail ^ | 16 September 2016 | By Dailymail.com Reporter

New videos have surfaced of a Yale professor being protested and yelled at by students for sending an email telling them to ignore people dressed in offensive or racist Halloween costumes.

The fallout of the email saw Nicholas Christakis, the master of Silliman College at Yale, and his wife Erika, a faculty member, resign from their positions at the university.

The new videos, which appeared on The Federalist, give a greater insight into what the students were demanding from Christakis, and his defense that cultural appropriation on Halloween is permissible.

Many students in the mob of almost 100 can be seen crying and shouting in the clips, as they scream at Christakis to apologize.

What a pansy. If he had any testicles he would have pointed to the gates of the campus and say “You don’t like it? Get out.”

Didn’t they do this same thing last year?

This was last year. Poor wittle snowflakes had their feelings hurt. The professor and his wife had nothing to do with any costumes, they were under fire as resident co-masters because they had declined to create a policy banning politically incorrect Halloween costumes.

This is from the incident last year. The professor and his wife later resigned their positions, driven out by the psychotic snowflakes.

Here in Canada my middle aged wife has returned to university getting her teaching certificate. The things she hears from the younger crowd and professors. Like the University is on land belonging to First Nations so we thank them for letting them use their land. Or that if you don’t buy produce locally you are as bad as a slaver (??slave wages that Mexicans get I guess??)

Robert Heinlein was right about the “Crazy Years”. He was just off by a few decades.

“The Crazy Years” described as “Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation, and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the interregnum.”

This brings to mind 60's cartoonist Al Capp's Lil' Abner strip, which often featured a leftist student organization called Students Wildly Indignant About Nearly Everything.

Thanks. I reread it now. Gosh I really despise these students and others like them. But truth be told, professors like him deserve what they’re getting. These are the monsters they created themselves. No sympathy here.

I am not condemning them for speaking sensibly. I am condemning them for having made a career as a part of the machine that created the monsters who destroyed them.

It’s like I feel bad for Seth Rich who died because he did the right thing and at the same time it served him right because he’d been in the employ of Satan to begin with.

Just because you’re nice to evil people does not mean they’re going to hate you any less. And working for them doesn’t make you safe from them.

I thought that this took place last year——why is it news?

The Federalist updated a story about it.

Because of the fact that the professor resigned, instead of taking more abuse from the students.

Why? Why should be waste his time and energy even trying with the little idiots? At some point he might have been literally threatened, which might have factored his choice to leave for good? These future ferals are frankly a lost cause and life is too short to stay in a dysfunctional situation.

I often think that students should be required to be at least 25 years of age and show they have been working at a regular job with a stable work history, with grants and tuition covered if they’ve served in the military.

Conservatives at Yale?

I find that really unlikely.

They might be libertarian.

That said: it won’t take long for the SJW to start eating the liberal professors at Yale.

No one stood up for these other two.

The crowd looks not like committed students who will be future leaders

Unfortunately, a large portion of them will be given positions of leadership as liberal society all but bends over backwards to accommodate every scintilla of their bloated sense of entitlement wrought by an endless self-absorption.

You're looking at the next generation of Barack Obamas.

How about some historically accurate and appropriate costumes?

Try telling the snowflakes that Santa Claus is a white man who uses slaves to make the toys, and then abuses animals to deliver them.

These little panty-waste pukes need to get their butts beat back into the closet where they belong. Too long have they had their way now.
