The death rattle of Western civilization - today's edition

Post-America's universities and colleges have become madhouses and sewers of intellectual poison.

By now, you're surely aware that the rabid Jacobins of racial hatred have forced out president Tim Wolfe at the University of Missouri. There is no act or incident to which these goons, these jackboots, these monsters, can point as a reason for their ginned-up rage.  Theses terror-loving, decency-hating revolutionaries just felt that they had amassed enough power to pull this off.

That's where we are. That's how chilling, how terrifying, how grotesque the dynamic is between these power-mad totalitarians and their shameful appeasers.

Lest anyone reading this think I'm indulging in hyperbole, please avail yourself of these videos of this mob shutting down the cafeteria and the homecoming parade, exhorting each other at their rallies and workshops, screaming their chants.


Here's their list of demands:

I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-­9-­5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-­0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators. 

II. We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal a new amendment to UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds.

III. We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians' demands that were presented in 1969 for the betterment of the black community. 

IV. We demand that the University of Missouri creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff, and faculty of color. 

V. We demand that by the academic year 2017-2018, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff campus-wide to 10%. 

VI. We demand that the University of Missouri composes a strategic 10 year plan by May 1, 2016 that will increase retention rates for marginalized students, sustain diversity curriculum and training, and promote a more safe and inclusive campus. 

VII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding and resources for the University of Missouri Counseling Center for the purpose of hiring additional mental health professionals -- particularly those of color, boosting mental health outreach and programming across campus, increasing campus-­wide awareness and visibility of the counseling center, and reducing lengthy wait times for prospective clients. 

VIII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding, resources, and personnel for the social justices centers on campus for the purpose of hiring additional professionals, particularly those of color, boosting outreach and programming across campus, and increasing campus-­wide awareness and visibility.

And things are going to hell fast at Yale as well. 

And, as is nearly always the case now, the cowardly administration is puking all over itself to see the viewpoint of the goose-stepping civilization-obliterators:

Weeks of simmering racial tension at Yale University boiled over in recent days into a debate over whether the administration was sensitive enough to concerns about Halloween costumes seen as culturally offensive, students and adminstrators said.

Peter Salovy, the president of Yale, said he had been left “deeply troubled” by a meeting he held with students of color last week who were “in great distress.” Many said they did not believe the university was attuned to the needs of minority students.“The experiences they shared went beyond the incidents of the last few days,” he said in a statement. “Their concerns and cries for help made clear that some students find life on our campus profoundly difficult."

The debate over Halloween costumes began late last month when the university’s Intercultural Affairs Committee sent an email to the student body asking students to avoid wearing “culturally unaware and insensitive” costumes that could offend minority students. It specifically advised them to steer clear of outfits that included elements like feathered headdresses, turbans or blackface.

The only question is how fast this is going to spread. And how fast corporate America, which already has an established track record of acquiescing to the left, will attempt to head off at the pass any spread of this degree of militancy to its offices and shop floors by doubling down on its divisive and counterproductive "diversity" initiatives.

The atmosphere in Cambodia in the late 1970s no longer looks like such a remote possibility, does it?
