‘This is like a parent looking at a spoiled brat having a temper tantrum and appeasing that child.’ – Rep. Matt Manweller on Evergreen protests


Those of us that have been reporting and documenting how college campuses across America have been turning into indoctrination centers for liberal ideology, completely out-of-control with students rioting, spending more time on “activism” than educational studies, destroying property and literally taking over campuses at every imagined “microagression,” are now starting to see the tide turn as these little college snowflakes over-play their hands and are being seen as weaponized snowflake domestic terrorists instead of sympathetic figures.


FROM MIZZOU TO EVERGREEN


The general public became aware of just how toxic the atmosphere at colleges across the country had become with the Mizzou protests in 2015-2016, which spread to other colleges across the country, rioting, marching, demanding the resignations of school officials, to which they received, but it all played out very publicly, so the country finally got to observe the deterioration of the nations educational institutes.


At the time, GOP presidential candidates warned what allowing little snowflake college students to dictate policy would bring, with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump stating “I think the two people that resigned are weak, ineffective people,” adding, “I think that when they resigned they set something in motion that’s going to be a disaster for a long period of time.”


Ben Carson also highlighted the dangers, saying “People are so frightened of the politically correct police that they’re willing to do things that are irrational to appease them… If they continue to capitulate all the time, we’re going to be pushed further into secular progressive philosophy. You have to be brave in order to be free.”


Marco Rubio directly spoke to the war against free speech, stating “Freedom of speech on campuses seems to be under assault in some of the supposedly finest institutions in this country… In the case of Missouri, I’m still trying to figure out exactly what it is that got the president fired.”


In just the first half of 2017, there have been violent or disruptive protests and/or riots at UC Davis, University of Washington, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, Middlebury College, Claremont McKenna College, and the most recent events at Evergreen College.



THE TIDE IS TURNING


In the case of Mizzou, we see the long term damage that “appeasement” to weaponized college snowflakes has wrought as enrollment plunged costing them approximately $16.6 million in revenue, with massive budget cuts announced, forcing them to eliminate 400 jobs and to close seven dorms next year, dubbed a “bloodbath” by College Fix.


In early March a conservative speaker and a liberal professor were attacked by an angry mob, where a self-identified Democratic teacher ended up in the hospital, resulting in sanctions being placed against 67 students for the part they played in their violent disruption. University professors, administrators and Alumni from Middlebury are speaking out now, saying those sanctions are “simply insufficient.”


Calling the violent protest over Murray’s lecture “an opportunity to firmly defend these foundational principles,” the letter laments that the school’s response thus far has been “simply insufficient to address the current threats to higher education, free expression, and reasoned discourse.”
