The Ferguson thread

[Kutnupe14]

Decided this thread was suitable enough for this.

Social justice warrior student begs professor to delay exams, because the black students are likely traumatized by the Grand Jury decisions.

No Exam Delay for Oberlin Students 'Traumatized' By Grand Jury Decisions - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Love the professors response. Succinct.

I'm really hoping the professor wasn't dumb enough to post that. I am I inclined to think this was a joke.

Now that's my kind of professor.

He was only missing an apropos Grumpy Cat.

Heh heh heh.

That response is so awesome that it actually kept my head from exploding from reading the original message.

What about this is response is dumb? It's suitable for the ridiculous request he had to read.

Not the response, which is appropriate, but posting a student's email correspondence in public. That's a HUGE no no.

Ah, gotcha. Just looked at it closer, it has the student's Facebook at the bottom right of the pic. I'm guessing she posted it, enraged at his response.

Also, further down the article:

After receiving his professor's response, the student posted the exchange publicly to Facebook, with the message: "TRIGGER WARNING: Violent language regarding an extremely dismissive response from a professor. This is an email exchange I had with my professor this evening. ... We are obviously not preaching to the choir. Professors and administration at Oberlin need to be held accountable for their words and actions and have a responsibility to their students."

Definitely an SJW using phrases like "trigger warning", and describing "No" as "violent language"

Ah gotcha. She posted that nonsense on Facebook? This either is really a joke, or she's an idiot.

Someone was hoping to get support via Facebook.......I say she failed.

No, she's an idiot

Idiot/SJW... same thing.

I want it to be known that when I refer to someone as an SJW, I want it to carry the weight, the immense intensity, as though I just called them the C-bomb.

I mean it as the most insulting, vapid thing I can refer to these ****bags as.

It's almost unbelievable that she was actually serious. Almost.

Well, perhaps she wasn't serious, but rather . . . serial.

Trauma? Yeah, not buying that. It's just another excuse to give today's liberal youth a free pass. Pull your pants up. Grow up and deal with society's issues. Don't use them as a crutch.

If this fly's I want to use this excuse for a reason to not pay my bills this month. I wonder how that will work out for me? not so well I'm guessing.

 

[chipbennett]

Ah gotcha. She posted that nonsense on Facebook? This either is really a joke, or she's an idiot.

Her claim of white privilege to be able to study, and the entire premise of her request, both demonstrate conclusively that she is, in fact, an idiot.

Plugged that name into the book of faces, and there is only one hit. No sign of that image, but she does seem to lean a bit..... left. At least, for a kid.

And Google turns up even more whack-a-doodle nonsense:
Students ask profs to drop finals for black peers, shame responses on social media

This is an email exchange I had with my professor this evening.

I would hardly call that an exchange. She wrote a long, babbling e-mail message, finally got around to asking a question and the professor gave a brief answer.

Calling it an exchange would be like me saying I was hanging out with a table full of hot women this weekend. Well I was at the same bar and on the other side of the bar there was a group of women. In all honesty I did not let anything "hang out" for fear of getting arrested.

I did the same, but I assumed she just had a bunch of stuff private.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

That professor is wiser than me. I would have answered: Suck it up, buttercup.

 

[Bluejeeper]

Wow....

I never thought such a simple word would bring me so much amusement

And I thought I had seen it all
