Title: People can leave a lecture if they are "triggered"

Social sciences of peace. Great road we're heading when students of history or (God forbid) psychology can leave a lecture because they are at unease of what is presented. This is just wrong on so many levels.

Millennials.  Traumatized by any information or opinions that conflict with their worldview.  Worthless cowards.  Reality is scary!  Boo hoo.

I blame gaming. That's right, I said it. This generation grew up with games where you get endless do-overs, limitless skins to change an entire world into exactly what you want, and where they get to pick and choose exactly what person they get to be. No wonder reality is a disappointment for them.

The Donkey Kong generation at least learned that to 'git gud' you would just have to play the same boring game thousands of times. Actually not such a bad life lesson.

At the University level people generally can (and do) leave lectures. Leaving may not be the academically smart move, but it's allowed. Few places have mandatory attendance policies.

Beyond that... this "triggered" situation is getting a bit ridiculous. My University hasn't succumbed to the nonsense. Not yet anyways. It may, eventually, become inevitable, at which point I'll have to resign my position and focus solely on blasting my quads.

 I'm reminded of that video clip of college kids bursting into tears over pro-Trump chalkwriting - chalkwriting - on their campus's sidewalk. Beyond pathetic.

This is the beginning of the end of the University system. With the combination of overpriced tuitions, on line learning, and the infantile PC culture, college is not a good investment for anything other than engineering and hard sciences that require hands on experience.

About 80% of the University infrastructure is obsolete.

Universities have become Marxist institutions and indoctrination centres. It happened in the UK, its happening in the US.

This is just one of the reasons I'm thrilled I don't have kids.  Even grade schools have become a total propaganda brainwash.  If you are a parent reading this, home school your kids if possible.

They're in collective state of denial, blaming corporations and the Tea Party for intolerance on campus. It's not corporations that feed Professors, it's the guaranteed student loans, and the Tea Party doesn't even exist on College campuses.

They can't handle that their Leftist culture has created the environment where opposing views aren't allowed.

Cultural Marxism keeps a certain tribe at the top of the pyramid...When no one is allowed to talk about anyone, the one's at top can't be touched or talked about...It's a brilliant way to keep elite bloodlines in power for as long s people buy into that bullshit...Leaving a lecture has zero to do with the students and everything to do with protecting the Global elite...

I had a university calculus teacher, Dr. Sato, he used to come into class sometimes and hide behind the garbage can pretending he was at war and make machine gun noises.

One of my Statistics instructors - a short, Asian man, was talking about probability, using flipping coins as an example. He would joke "We flip. We get head. Everybody like getting head. Maybe get head twice in a row? That's good." Most everyone laughed... those were the days.

Now some she-beest would start yelling and squirting all over the classroom.

The pussification continues:

U of Florida offers 24/7 counseling for students ‘troubled’ by Halloween costumes

http://gatortimes.ufl.edu/2016/10/10/halloween-costume-choices-4/

Quote
October brings fall weather and Halloween. If you choose to participate in Halloween activities, we encourage you to think about your choices of costumes and themes. Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions. Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people. Also, keep in mind that social media posts can have a long-term impact on your personal and professional reputation. The University of Florida’s Division of Student Affairs Diversity and Social Justice Statement reminds us that UF fosters a community that values and respects diversity. An inclusive definition of diversity recognizes the variety of personal and social experiences that make individuals and communities different from one another.

"Diversity and social justice statement"...
