"This is Not a Day Care. It's a University!"

>>>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."

The post, however, wasn't meant to be directed at the student who raised the issue, Piper told NBC News. "This is not a message to my students per se ... This is a message to the broader community."

Piper said he doesn't support "the shouting down of a contrary idea rather than a civil and polite exchange disagreement" because he believes respectful discourse is a foundation of academia.

"A liberal arts academy is about learning. It's not supposed to be a place to suppress controversial ideas," Piper said. My point was to challenge my own industry — to look my academic peers in the eye and say: 'We've caused this.'" <<<


we can only hope...

That was actually a really interesting read, because it went into the etymology of the word, which is in fact named after a person with the last name of Lynch. (Kind of like burke, though that's not nearly as well known).

Eh, just add the guy's first name and middle initial, like the students ask, and be done with it. Actually a better tribute to the guy, too, since it's not that uncommon a last name.

Oh My Gawd.

I need to buy stock in the adult diaper business...


How do you suggest this poor dear then deal with the identical microaggressions she most assuredly endures each waking moment?





Or...and I KNOW this is crazy talk, but hear me out....Hows about they just learn to grow the fuc1< up and learn to deal with the fact that sometimes sh1t isn't always responsible to make them feel special?

I know...crazy. WTF was I thinking?
