Yale Maenad Shrieks At Administrator: It's Not Your Job to Create an Intellectual Space, It's Your Job to Make Us Feel Comfortable and at Home

There was, among the Social Justice Warrior crowd, get this, a controversy over Halloween costumes.

A lecturer at Yale wrote an email in which she said that, while he understood concerns about allegedly "insensitive" costumes that indulged in "cultural appropriations," censorship and official punishment were not the correct response; telling that person you were bothered by the costume was the correct response.

The lecturer's husband, who's a dean of the Sillman residential community (I guess part of the Yale campus), agreed with his wife, which I thought was what you were supposed to do, because Women Are Always Right, Always.

But what this particular woman was saying was Racist Or Something.

Unpleasantness and hysteria then, get this, ensued.

The associate master, Erika Christakis, wrote to the campus community criticizing efforts to proscribe certain types of dress, particularly for young people, while also noting: "I don’t wish to trivialize genuine concerns about cultural and personal representation."
"I don't, actually, trust myself to foist my Halloweenish standards and motives on others. I can't defend them anymore than you could defend yours," wrote Christakis, a lecturer at the Yale Child Study Center and the wife of Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician and the master of Silliman College. “Nicholas says, if you don’t like a costume someone is wearing, look away, or tell them you are offended. Talk to each other. Free speech and the ability to tolerate offence are the hallmarks of a free and open society."
Students at Thursday's protest said the e-mail ignored the way people of color experience such insensitive characterizations, and they recounted how students have faced threats of physical violence when they have questioned their classmates’ costume choices.

Below is what happened when a man calmly attempted to explain free speech to hysterics and barbarians. You'll get profanity, a screamed "BE QUIET!," a pronouncement that college is not for intellectual freedom and trial but for "comfort" and feeling "at home," and yes, an actual foot-stomp.

The Queen Maenad does not like his Racist suggestion that "other people have rights too."

By the way, as this hysterical head-case is shrieking, someone seems to yell "Re-Tweet" in approval.

So that's where we are now -- "Retweet" is now used, non-ironically, as an "Amen."

Quote: "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing an idiot with dignity." -- Marshall McLuhan, shared by craig henry

Correct video now embedded. Sorry, YouTube played through to the next video, and I stupidly put in that code.

One of the ninnies at the protest -- perhaps the Queen Maenad herself -- penned this histrionic piece to explain All the Feelz She Haz.

Review the Lukianov/Haidt theory, which is that colleges and the SJW left is now engaging in a very massive negative cognitive behavioral therapy session, which, instead of teaching people to control their feelings and remain in command of themselves, is instead conditioning them to be hysterics and neurotics who scream and foot-stomp over anything at all.

They are being trained -- sort of deliberately -- to be mentally unsound individuals.

Speak of the Devil and So He Appears: Greg Lukianov was actually the guy videotaping that.

He works with FIRE. FIRE's own write-up is here.

Recall that Yale is the source of one of the most glowing statements in support of free expression in higher education. The statement, based on the university’s 1975 Woodward Report, demonstrates the need to be free to "think the unthinkable, discuss the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable." It even goes so far as to inform Yale students that "when you agree to matriculate, you join a community where 'the provocative, the disturbing, and the unorthodox' must be tolerated. When you encounter people who think differently than you do, you will be expected to honor their free expression, even when what they have to say seems wrong or offensive to you."

26 The Age of Sensitivity." Skin is so thin. So sensitive to harshness.

Just read that the Merced Stabber had a manifesto in his pocket the coroner found. Praising allah. But, per sheriff, mostly just a grudge a little above a high school skirmish. He had a list of names of who he would stab, and the first person he stabbed was on list. He, another sensitive person, had been kicked out of a study group and he was really going to go stabby on that person. But not terrorism, as terrorism is only big jets flying into buildings that get in their way.

50 The so called Left became cry babies because it's worked in the past so well.

Just as violent protests and murder work for Muslims and what they get disturbed about so does a school usually respond to these cries with the suppression of some one else's rights.

that it's not happening is what's making them cry even more.

Soon they'll be emulating the Muslims because violence always works. Until it doesn't.

That time is coming soon because the majority of people are tired of having our rights subjected to denial for some one else's opinions.

And that's all PC has ever been about. But it was never fair just easier. Now people are pushing back because as usual the left has gone too far. And the pendulum swing is going to knock some of them on their azz.

"From the outset the eminence of this new creature, the intellectual, who was to play such a tremendous role in the history of the twentieth century, was inseperable from his necessary indignation. It was his indignation that elevated him to a plateau of moral superiority. Once up there, he was in a position to look down on the rest of humanity. And it did not cost him any effort, intellectual or otherwise. As Marshall McLuhan would put it years later: 'Moral indignation is a technique used to endow the idiot with dignity.'"

From what my sister has seen, most of them move to NYC and settle in an apartment idling away life on mommy and daddy's dime. Explains the real estate costs skyrocketing there maybe? Useless leeches.

My sister's requirement for a roommate now is that they pay their own rent with money they get from working. She and friends have been burnt too many times on roommates where the parents foot the bill. They end up being the worst in every way. There IS a correlation between being responsible for your living and being responsible in other areas of your life that affect your roommates, such as cooking and cleaning and respecting the common area usage of the apt. Shocking I know.

Used to be, but that changed in the 60s. Granted, there is now a new entitled class, but it isn't what you describe.

The "standards" are not what you think they are.

Here's the situation in universities:
57% of students are female
20% of engineering students are female
Incredible effort is being expended to get that 20% up, but they cannot pass the classes.

So maybe the "standards" need to be adjusted to reflect the areas of study that are considered sufficiently elevated that it is a problem when students don't enter those areas.

Shorter: More math, less crap.

obama said today that his State Department decided that Keystone would "not be in the best interest of the United States," and that he agrees with his State Department.

Which means that i) Keystone pipeline most certainly IS in the best interest of the U.S.A. and ii) people are stupid to believe that obama's State Department made the decision independent of obama.

Plus, just to show how stupid people are today, obama chose today to make the announcement as obama's labor department released yet another bullshit jobs report just so obama could say See, we don't need no Keystone for jobs.

Everything that obama says is a lie. Whatever obama says, I assume the opposite.

Funny you should say that. I knew a woman that went to a school that graduated engineers, including some dude with big hair whose last name ended in rump. She's the lone female in class picture of engineering grads. Goes into a near engineering field but ends up being marched out of the building by security.

Back to school she heads, law degree this time. Better luck this time. A freaking nightmare of a human being for all who had to deal with her.

Exactly. But this was also the time when Democratic politicians rolled over for the Left, not just college admins.

People criticize the COINTELPRO operations without realizing exactly how much violence the New Left was indulging itself in. It wasn't just violence on the campuses it was coordination of ghetto riots and assaults on policemen (gee, where have we seen THAT before).

Exactly. I've spent a long time in the martial arts and that's why you have to sometimes go preemptive in that mode.
If you can you should create some space while dropping back to something like an informal 3/4 stance.
If you can't, there is a nice pose where you put your hand under your chin, supported by your other arm.

238 The proper response to this hysteric:

Young lady, there is already a place where parents pay for their children to be made to feel safe and at home, and conflict is to always be discouraged. It is called a nursery school. Here at Yale, however, we enroll mature individuals who wish to gain knowledge, which means challenging beliefs. We enroll future leaders, who do not avoid conflict but face it boldly and use adversity to prove their mettle.
