[n.b. DonDiego cannot easily summarize what's happening at Yale; he suggests the interested reader read the above editorial. Just the tutorial, differentiating between fascism and honest disagreement, is worth the read]
And it is only getting worse.
From Intellihub, on the goings on at Amherst:
"The fact that the group is attempting to get the President of a major university to sign off on re-education classes and punishment for anyone who speaks about free speech or says all lives matter is a startling reminder of the extreme authoritarianism that runs through the veins of the college hard left."
And, among student demands:
"5. President Martin must issue a statement to the Amherst College community at large that states we do not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the “All Lives Matter” posters, and the “Free Speech” posters that stated that “in memoriam of the true victim of the Missouri Protests: Free Speech.” Also let the student body know that it was racially insensitive to the students of color on our college campus and beyond who are victim to racial harassment and death threats; alert them that Student Affairs may require them to go through the Disciplinary Process if a formal complaint is filed, and that they will be required to attend extensive training for racial and cultural competency."
Holy-Moly! Disciplinary Processes and Re-Education Camps. DonDiego opines the lessons of the Pol Pot regime would've dissuaded today's young'uns from adopting such tactics.
Nothing good will come of this.
WOW! Re-education classes? Seriously, how could anybody write that list down and keep a straight face.
