While Snopes is generally pretty good about factual things, once judgement enters into the evaluation their liberal bias shows.

I abhor the current trend for "fact checking" where someone under the guise of presenting "facts" gives their interpretation of the situation. Most issues worth debating are complex enough that they can be argued on either side with selective use of the evidence.

So, Snopes found a tweet that I had made about this, and decided to include me in their "False" rating of the Emory story:

However, while I could have all my readers fit into a broom closet, I had my own response:

The most fragile hot house orchid does not get to dictate the political atmosphere that allows them to "feel" safe when it creates a corrosive atmosphere for the other freedom loving plants on the campus - I.e. The hearty sort that attend Emory specifically so they can survive and thrive when they leave the bio bubble that is college life.
BTW I can tell you that as an attorney in the "real world" political speech is the most highly protected form of speech under the constitution. Those who would seek to undermine free political thought are indeed dangerous and make me feel more than a little uncomfortable and threatened for my freedom and liberty, where is my safe space and free counseling!

hear hear

Utter shock and a Federal investigation....

Michael, wait a minute, with Beastie and bernie, they don't NEED a job, just a bank account number for the monthly welfare check to deposit to.

Not in the U.S., just in Asia and India. We are too busy taking advantage of everyone, although with the huge number of useless idiots we have bred, I am not sure who is using who.

I like "useless idiots" it is so broad and encompassing....

I wonder if they have a bed wetting recovery/trauma counseling team funded by a special federal grant?

You sir, are a child abuser! :)

Sure it's not "saps" then "slaves"?

Sorry Susanne, but the little programming centers are full of the "safe space" crap. It is everywhere, unless you are special ed, then you can be a crazy as you want because the school (at least in crazy Oregon) gets double money for the little brats, so they will not touch the golden goose. If you are a normal (sic) kid, you have to learn to be nice, kind, use no bad words, and always offer people a safe space to exist. I have heard this over and over, and no one ever was able to explain what they expected to happen when these little monsters left school and had to exist in the real "unsafe" world. I was branded a "bad person" by the former State Senator Superintendent at 135,000 a year/Principle dude who asked me not to come back to the board meetings....

It isn't even education anymore, it is programming. This is what happens when a system goes closed loop, teachers teach children who go to school to become teachers and then teach more teachers. No reality, fantasy anyway you want it. I have always believed teaching should be reserved to 50 and over, post mainstream career as a sideline job. That way you actually inject some real experience into the task, instead of this pseudo-psycho babble BS. It never occurred to the little morons to piss on it and make a counter statement, as well as erase the offensive words?

As they say in Texas: Got that Raaahhhhtt.

I'm already a bit worried. Isn't it supposed to be that the next generation is smarter & better than the last one?

I'm just not seeing that here. It's disturbing.

Yep, you can tell: they're poor & downtrodden for sure. Sorry for the extra dose of sarcasm.

I think they're calling all of us serfs.

The Chinese call USA Millennials "strawberries" because they are so easily bruised. Before long they will call them serfs.

What strikes me is that if this is their biggest concern given everything else going on in the world then these students are beyond clueless, They qualify as useful idiots in the purest form. Good luck to them after they graduate (if they are not paralyzed by fear) in finding employment. There aren't ANY safe-places in the world although Gitmo in Cuba might qualify.

They all need a good spanking

Awww. Poor babies.
Gee, I wonder how they'd react if they were cops being shot at, or front line marines. I guess you'd need a clean-up crew. Not for the blood, but for the poop.

Realize that these students are the best and brightest products of our educational system, and be afraid.

Government education will do that ......

McDonald's might not want them, but they'll be well suited to work in corporate HR departments, administering "hostile workplace" rules.

Not sure why they are fussing, most college students should relate to using sidewalk chalk. (and play doe, marbles, finger paint and Daddy's credit card)
"A" students teach the "B" students to work for the "C" students. Then teach that the "C" students are evil and greedy for enslaving those very same "B" students.
