The kids aren’t all right. In fact, they’re downright insolent
Several Evergreen State College students have been sitting in front of the school’s Student Affairs Office since Wednesday, and they appear to have no intention of moving any time soon.
Members of the Students for a Democratic Society say Evergreen has changed ever since the campus riot in February. They claim free speech has been squashed, concerts banned and student records turned over to police.
Riots and the destruction of public property have a tendency to have repercussions. Imagine that.
When the SDS asked to stage a protest in March, the collage asked members to cancel it.
“They said that it was because of safety, but almost all the other events went through. This one had a lot less potential for being unsafe than the ones that did go through,” said a student who identified herself as “Courtney.”
SDS staged the event anyway, and it’s been suspended from using campus facilities ever since.
More acting out. More punishment. And here I thought that groups like the SDS preferred progressive systems?
So when students were denied another event on Wednesday, they took a stand in front of the Student Affairs Office.
The college says SDS was turned down because of its suspension. And in March, it says SDS tried to use campus facilities to raise money for an off-campus group, which is a violation of state law.
I’m actually saddened that the SDS pukes didn’t have the balls to break the law.
I mean, I’m sure that this wouldn’t have been the first time most of their membership had done so.
Students say the permits and policies are just another barrier to free speech. So they’re sitting, waiting for an apology.
“Until we are fully reinstated, and until students realize they are the ones in charge on this campus, then our job is not done,” said student Jonathan Steiner.
Mr. Steiner, your worthless parents may have raised you be an insolent jackass who is full of a sense of entitlement, but this is what is called “The Real World†and you are going to have to deal with not getting everything you want.
As for the students being in charge, I happen to notice from the picture attached to the article that you are the ones sitting on the floor.
Since when is an institution of higher learning a “collage”?
It makes my inner Grammar Nazi sad when people entrusted with bringing the news to others can’t even manage to spell a word correctly. 😛
I had my share of head butting with the SDS back in the late sixties and early seventies when I was in college; some of them didn’t like my attitude that people should support themselves rather than expect the government to wipe their asses for them. Half of them that I knew were from wealthy families, were being supported by the parents, and had never worked a job in their lives. I still get pissed off just thinking about those idiot Marxist douchebags.
