College has become a political cult.
No dissent. Resistance is futile. Unity equals compliance.
I was told that I was a part of the problem, and that nobody wanted to be friends with me. I was accused of believing that black people are inferior, and I hate the LGBT community.
Suck it up buttercup. What other people think about is irrelevant, what you think about you is so if this type of crap from other folks offends you then you are part of the problem because you have serious issues.
Become a plumber or electrician. Honest work for six figures and a better class of peers.
So, did she learn how wrong she was in her original premise?
All viewpoints are not “equal”.
These people are not what they are pretending to be.
So don’t use Instagram, Lela. Problem solved. Learn anything from all this?
It’s not merely cancel culture. It’s cankle culture!
Her best recourse is to cancel all social media accounts and live her life as a normal person.........
This is truly unfair for young adults.
I can’t help but feel we’re all responsible for this — not putting down the Rats that have created this toxic, cancel culture.
I used to do work at My Holyoke. And Smith.
Mount Holyoke women were very serious. Smith students were a lot of fun.
I once did a photo shoot of athletes at one of those schools. They type where you get a player from each team arranged around the sign at the entrance. I took the photo and made suggestions an how tomhd the sticks and what not. But the manager put everyone in their positions.
The administration never used it because of how I placed the minority women. “Couldn’t I see that?”
I laughed and told them I took the picture and made sure they were where the media director placed them. I suggested they give their media guy some diversity training.
To this day, I would bet money that if I showed people the picture they could not explain what is “wrong” with it.
I dropped them as a client that year.
Nice athletic staff and good kids. But way too woke for me.
Go learn how to weld, sweetie. You will be nappier.
“... I was reported to a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)”
It’s like the LGBTQ...they’re going to have to keep adding letters to show their ideological purity.
Life was so much simpler when I was going to college.
This nation has entered very dangerous ground.
Just about anything extremely negative is now possible.
How is this any different from Maoist struggle sessions?
This will not end well.
The universities have passed the point of no return. Burn them all down. Even STEM is no longer safe, it has been taken over by the Cult of Woke. We are already in the New Dark Ages (oops, silly me, that term is soooooo racist!).
I actually ran into this professionally. Had an interview scheduled for a contractor. Then the young woman posted after the election how she hates conservatives, if you’re a Trump supporter, I can’t work with you, unfriend me. I emailed her to inform her I was conservative, I’d reached across the aisle to consider working with her on a project ... but given her explicit hate for someone like me, the job interview is cancelled.
Colleges are populated by The Red Guard.

Omg. That’s horrible.
Too bad I didn’t keep the screed of anguish email the President of Mount Holyoke sent out to everyone after Trump won in 2016! It was even better than the reel of anguish from CNN, etc. Luckily, my 50th MHC reunion was cancelled bc of the virus, so I didn’t have to make nice with all the wacked out liberals in my class last May. My goal is to march at age 100 on my own power in the reunion parade and I’m going to wear my big Trump cowgirl hat! This presumes, of course, that Mount Holyoke College still exists in 30 years, a big IF in my book.
