Rutgers Residence Hall Warns Students Against ‘Microassaults,’ ‘Microinsults’ & ‘Microinvalidations’

Just when you thought you had a handle on the treasonous thought-police infractions known as microagressions, folks at Rutgers University had to go ahead and further muddy the waters of what is and isn’t allowed to be uttered on today’s college campuses.

Since I know you’re all dying to find out, let’s turn to Campus Reform to learn about the latest verbal (and nonverbal) transgressions: “microassaults,” “microinsults’ & “microinvalidations”:

Students in at least one Rutgers University residence hall are being encouraged to use only language that is “helpful” and “necessary” to avoid committing microaggressions.

The display, photos of which were obtained by Campus Reform, is titled “Language Matters: Think,” and was placed in the College Avenue Apartments by a resident assistant, according to a current resident of the building who does not wish to be identified.

Erected as part of the university’s “Language Matters” campaign, the bulletin board instructs students to ask themselves whether their choice of words is “true,” “helpful,” “inspiring,” “necessary,” and “kind” before speaking out, and also includes a list of potentially-offensive terms, such as “retarded” and “illegal aliens.”

These kids are going to be in for a rude awakening, as well as possible multiple nervous breakdowns, when they enter the real world (was that a microagression, micro insult, or microassault? I’m so confused).

THE SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES AT WEST CHESTER UNIVERSITY ARE HIDING FROM TRUMP

Avalon has waded into the fray. She and her two best friends are at West Chester University today to attend a Donald Trump rally. The Donald is supposed to speak at 4:00 pm. I told her to start some trouble with the Black Thugs Matter protestors who are sure to be there. I want to see her on CNN. Her journalistic assignment for TBP is to record interesting aspects of the Trump phenomena and feed them to me instantaneously, so I can post them in this thread.

Here is the first observation on campus. It seems the petrified special snowflakes are frightened by big bad Donald and are seeking safety in the office of the president. These pussies don’t feel safe around displays of the First Amendment. Imagine when these snowflakes have to make their way in the real world. With their liberal arts degrees in hand, they will feel unsafe as they man the drive thru window at Burger King or when a patron sends back a burger at TGI Fridays because it is too rare.

Remember when kids this age stormed the beaches of Normandy or got mowed down by the National Guard for protesting the Vietnam War? Now they whimper and hide in safe spaces.

More terror: ‘Trump 2016’ in sidewalk chalk traumatizes Emory students

TRIGGER WARNING: This post contains multiple mentions of GOP candidate D—– T—- and may be upsetting to some readers.

If you’re fortunate enough that your age, career and/or life experience allow you to see beyond the “safe spaces” that enclose and protect America’s finest colleges from stranger danger, you know all about the terrorist bombings that killed nearly three dozen and wounded hundreds in Brussels, Belgium.

Those of us on the outside of that safe space and forbidden from looking in might have missed another terror incident that took place recently on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta. In a piece in today’s edition of The Emory Wheel that runs more than 1,100 words, Sam Budnyk describes the horrifying discovery of “Trump 2016” chalk drawings and the administration’s flaccid response to student concerns.

OH NO! CHALK! https://twitter.com/_cingraham/status/712428712004816896 …

Yes, chalk.

Somebody wrote “Trump 2016” in chalk on an Emory University sidewalk. Students report feeling “unsafe” and “afraid” http://emorywheel.com/emory-students-express-discontent-with-administrative-response-to-trump-chalkings/ …

[Editor’s note: Christopher Ingraham is a verified Washington Post reporter, and we’ve confirmed The Emory Wheel is not a parody site.]

Budnyk reports today that after around 40 students stood outside Emory’s administration building and chanted, “Come speak to us, we are in pain!” and “We have nothing to lose but our chains,” the demonstrators comforted each other in a stairwell. “I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe,” one student reportedly confessed. “I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school.”

Students then assembled in a board room where they continued to bare their feelings. University President James W. Wagner was unfortunate enough to join the impromptu meeting, where he was asked if Emory would “decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate” in an official campus-wide email. The president vetoed that idea, but after an hour said the university would review security footage to identify those who made the chalk drawings and press trespassing charges if the people behind them weren’t students.

This is the enemy we will have to defeat. It really shouldn’t be hard. They have the minds of 8 year olds and will piss their pants at the first hint of real confrontation. I’m surprised he isn’t sobbing into his scarf.

HUCK FINN BANNED BECAUSE IT UPSETS THE DELICATE SENSIBILITIES OF HIGH SCHOOL CHERUBS

The pussification of America accelerates. These kids need to feel the uncomfortableness of a foot up their asses. I wonder how uncomfortable they’ll feel fighting against the Russians or Chinese. I wonder how uncomfortable they’ll feel when their iGadgets stop working and they can’t go to Starbucks or Paneras for a coffee and wrap. This generation is hopelessly entrapped in the social justice propaganda jammed down their throats and 12 years of social engineering by control freak liberal milquetoast teachers.

Montgomery County School Removes ‘Huckleberry Finn’ After Students Feel Uncomfortable

A suburban Philadelphia school is removing “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from its 11th grade curriculum, saying the language and portrayal of blacks makes students uncomfortable.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Friends’ Central School decided the “community costs” of reading Mark Twain’s 1885 classic outweigh the literary benefits.

Art Hall, principal of the school in Wynnewood, says the book’s use of racial slurs was “challenging for some students, who felt the school was not being inclusive.”

The school is guided by a Quaker philosophy.

The book about manners, race and rebellion in pre-Civil War has inspired controversy since its release 130 years ago. In 2011 an Alabama publisher replaced the offending word with “slave.”

A Twain biographer has called book’s slur the “ultimate teachable moment in American literature.”

The Pussification Of The Western Male

Guest Post by Kim du Toit via Common Sense Evaluation

We have become a nation of women.

It wasn’t always this way, of course. There was a time when men put their signatures to a document, knowing full well that this single act would result in their execution if captured, and in the forfeiture of their property to the State. Their wives and children would be turned out by the soldiers, and their farms and businesses most probably given to someone who didn’t sign the document.

There was a time when men went to their certain death, with expressions like “You all can go to hell. I’m going to Texas.” (Davy Crockett, to the House of Representatives, before going to the Alamo.)

There was a time when men went to war, sometimes against their own families, so that other men could be free. And there was a time when men went to war because we recognized evil when we saw it, and knew that it had to be stamped out.

There was even a time when a President of the United States threatened to punch a man in the face and kick him in the balls, because the man had the temerity to say bad things about the President’s daughter’s singing.

We’re not like that anymore.

Now, little boys in grade school are suspended for playing cowboys and Indians, cops and crooks, and all the other familiar variations of “good guy vs. bad guy” that helped them learn, at an early age, what it was like to have decent men hunt you down, because you were a lawbreaker.

Now, men are taught that violence is bad—that when a thief breaks into your house, or threatens you in the street, that the proper way to deal with this is to “give him what he wants”, instead of taking a horsewhip to the rascal or shooting him dead where he stands.

‘This Is Not a Daycare’

Finally a University president with some balls and willing to call out these infantile trophy generation pussies for what they are. These millennials need to grow up and deal with reality. I’m offended by the complete and utter idiocy of a vast swath of America. I’m the victim of a dumbed down, politically correct, delusionary society of iGadget addicted zombie hordes. Who should I lodge my complaint with? I want reparations and a safe space from these idiots.

A college president in Oklahoma is defiantly standing by his controversial view that today’s students are too sensitive and too quick to play the victim card.

Dr. Everett Piper, the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, posted a message on the school’s website last week, saying college students expect too much coddling and declaring: “This is Not a Day Care. It’s a University!”

The blog post gained attention in the wake of a growing number of students protesting racial discrimination and other issues on campuses across the country.

Piper wrote that he chose to share his frustrations publicly after a student, who has not been identified, complained about being “offended” by a sermon given at the Christian liberal arts college.

Piper said on a local radio program, “The Pat Campbell Show,” that when he heard about the incident, he asked to see a copy of the sermon, thinking he might find something sarcastic or abrasive. In his opinion, the message was innocuous, Campbell said on the radio show.

The sermon was on the Bible passage 1 Corinthians 13, which includes the verse “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” The sermon was about love, Piper said.

“It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love,” Piper wrote in his post. “I’m not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic.”
