Heather Mac Donald is one of the smartest people writing on modern policing. If you haven’t read her series on The Ferguson Effect, you should.

People are afraid of the truth, it upsets the apple cart.

If they didn’t allow her to speak, who was being oppressed?

Sadly, these students have been indoctrinated for years without knowing or learning any ideology other than the one being promoted in their "public" schools.

Indoctrination into the cultist Progressive ideology reflects itself in a person's observations and comments on today's sad occurrences. When one sees his world through that limiting lens, then truth and objectivity, reason and enlightenment seem to abandon every discussion.

How blessed are those students who have gone through that school experience with parents who have guided them, who have advised them, and who have provided a counterweight to the ideas promoted by textbooks and teaching techniques designed to weed out parental, church and community teachings about faith and family.

students are surrounded by well-meaning faculty who want all of them to succeed

This is a Joke right? If you don't understand by now that the teachers and faculty don't give a rats ass about the success of their students, you are hopeless. Just ask yourself why there is a Degree Program for Lesbian Dance Theory. It is ALL about Money, nothing else and the students be damned

No one likes having their participation trophy revoked.

Took my son to Bucknell this Fall for a college visit.

EVERY single person we met from the school’s Admissions Office introduced themselves the same way: “Hi, I’m Fred (or whatever), I’m from Allentown, and my personal pronouns are he, him, and his.”

We heard it 20 times. But then, while on the tour, our student guide asked me as we walked along, “Where does your son go to school?”

The hypocricy was laughable. It is all a show - they don’t believe it themselves.

The intolerant left—true to their origins.

They hate the “marketplace of ideas” and free speech.

That’s because their ideas will not prevail if they are subjected to honest examination.

They must suppress debate and shut down opposing views if they are to realize their goals.

“Safe space” snowflakes = prejudiced and closed-minded.

I’m surprised. The Cross used to be such a good college. The Jesuits made it so.

These students understand that Heather MacDonald knows vastly more than they do about her subjects, they know that they can't come close to beating MacDonald in any debate, but they don't want to learn from her. They want to be protected from her knowledge. They are ignorant cowards, smugly celebrating their own cowardice and ignorance.

Holy Cross yearly tuition and fees, without room and board: $54,740.

Down the old drain.

K-college programs are teaching mentally ill thought patterns like catastrophizing and projection.

Jonathan Haidt talks about in the article and book “The Coddling of the American Mind”.

America by this time in its progression from its founding was not supposed to be like this. Overall,the people/generations failed miserably as some Founders suspected could happen. These “kids” are worthless and it’s so far from cliche in so many ways.

No one going to a private college is oppressed.

Because many college students are cowards who refuse to face the truth.

Forgive my ignorance, but judging by the name, the school sounds Christian-run. I wouldn’t have expected such virulent leftism from such a place.

If you have to chant “my oppression is not a delusion”, it probably is and amusingly so.
