Ohio State Offers Inauguration Day ‘Safe Space’ for Idiots

This is a reminder that it’s not enough just to win elections. Leftism must be rooted out of every dark corner where it festers–including our overgrown, overpriced, underachieving universities.

Ohio State has offered “safe space” for Inauguration Day, where whimpering students can hang out together and pretend the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president never happened. They will feature “teach-ins”–oh, please–and poetry readings ( http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/30828/ ). And the students will be “taught”–I’m no longer sure that “teaching” is quite the right word for what goes on in college–how to “define social justice,” blah-blah-blah. I guess “justice” is when Democrats win elections and are free to subject America to open borders, high taxes, abortion, transgender bathrooms for little girls and grown men, and all the rest of that social justice stuff.

The universities must be starved into extinction. Cut off the funding! They have way, way, way too much of our money, and they only know how to make mischief with it. Cut this beast down to size! With just a little courage, Republicans in Congress could start cutting back on federal support for the universities. Stop putting our taxes to work at screwing up our country!

And for heaven’s sake, stop sending your sons and daughters there!

You Won’t Believe This–‘Fornicaid’?

Looks like there just ain’t nothin’ Big Government can’t do, eh?

The German Green Party (“There’s no problem in the world a candle-light vigil can’t solve!”) has proposed legislation to provide “free prostitutes for disabled and elderly” persons ( http://www.germanpulse.com/2017/01/09/german-green-party-prostitutes-disabled-elderly/ ). The ho’s–oops, we’re supposed to call them “sex workers”–are to “provide sexual relief” to those who aren’t getting any.

How could they have forgotten to include this in Obamacare?

They tried to sneak this in, a few years ago, in Britain, but had to stop because of public protest. Some selfish persons actually resented their tax dollars being used to treat others to tricks. Kind of puts a new spin on the phrase “Trick or treat.”  In the Netherlands, a date with a hooker is “a deductible medical expense.”

(All right, you guys! Where’s the hidden camera?)

By the time secular humanists are done with us–presuming they get their way, and God doesn’t smite them–we’ll be reduced to transgendered, bug-eating, Play Doh-kneading, unemployable, whore-using, euthanized at the government’s earliest convenience, safe space-craving, whining, sniveling ding-dongs. Which is, I think, exactly where the Soroses and Kerrys of this world want us.

Still wondering why I posted Onward, Christian Soldiers earlier today?

The Ultimate Safe Space

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Walking to the Y this morning, a new sign enticed me up the steps and into the ancient graveyard on the hill. All I could read from street level was “Breathe Easy,” and I wondered what more it had to say.

Well, the old graveyard is now a “No Smoking” zone. No smoking in the cemetery. I wonder who complained.

And then I thought, hey, this is just what we need–a place where no one ever says anything controversial (or anything at all, for that matter), no one has an opinion that might contradict yours, no one will demand you pay for anything: the safe space America’s been looking for. It’s even better than collidge. Here in the graveyard, no one is smarter, better-looking, or more athletic than you.

Unless somebody else comes up the steps; and then you might as well leave.

College Rules Gorillas ‘Too Masculine’

Banned! For being too “masculine” and “not inclusive” enough…

Why do I keep saying that if you actually care about them and don’t want them turned into idiots, you shouldn’t send your sons or daughters to a public university?

Well, an official at the University of Kansas has ruled that gorillas can’t be included in a jungle-themed floor decoration in a dorm because gorillas are…get this… “too masculine” and “not inclusive” enough (  http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8171 ).

Oh, if only there were transgender gorillas! Or at least some really gay gorillas. Then college kiddies could see a jungle picture with a gorilla in it. But if their eyes should happen to fall upon the image of a, well, regular gorilla–ooh! And without even a trigger warning! We’re gonna need a bigger Safe Space!

I keep thinking these are actually satires that I’m writing, no pack of “educators” could actually be so asinine. But they are, and this is not a satire.

People who care about their sons and daughters shouldn’t send them to the University of Kansas.

Oh, and go ahead, you libs and progs out there–explain to the rest of us why this is such a good thing. If you can.

First the UK, Next, Here: All Speech is Hate Speech, Except for Lib Speech

Wow! The city of London has just gotten a 1.7 million-pound grant from the UK government to “criminalise illegal hate speech on line” ( http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/16/london-mayor-to-set-up-police-online-hate-crime-hub-in-partnership-with-social-media-firms/ ).

Yes, special police, plus “volunteers”–want to guess who they’ll be?–will “partner with the social media” to bust persons who express an opinion not approved by the government. You know–any criticism of anything, any opposition to anything, that liberals like. Sorta like Climate Change Denial.

Did I mention that “hate speech” is nowhere defined in any of this verbage? Oh, well, libs know hate speech when they see it. It’s any speech they don’t agree with. Anyone who doesn’t fall down and worship libs’ wisdom, must be a criminal.

So… the whole UK is eventually going to be turned into a gigantic “Safe Space” where no one–except Christians–will ever have to hear, read, or see anything that doesn’t gibe 100% with their brainless ideology. Think of it as a nation-sized college campus.

Next it’ll be our turn, First Amendment notwithstanding. One more Democrat president will do the trick.

School Demands ‘Silent Cheers’

There’s all sorts of violence and civil strife to write about today, but a lot of people are already writing about it–so, lest it be lost in the shuffle, I direct your attention to yet another example of culture rot brought about by our public education system. It’s not as exciting as the violence; but if you think you can culturally eviscerate a whole civilization and still maintain the public order, you’re as crazy as these so-called educators.

At the Elanora Heights Public School in Sydney, Australia, students are no longer allowed to applaud or cheer at an assembly, lest they offend those who are “sensitive to noise.” Therefore, only a “silent cheer” will be permitted ( http://www.dcclothesline.com/2016/07/23/school-bans-clapping-because-some-people-are-too-sensitive-will-allow-silent-cheers-instead/ ).

Gee, does that go for school sporting events, too? I can imagine cheerleaders silently signaling with flags in semaphore, while the crowd in the bleachers silently mimes clapping.

We are not told what education genius thought this up.

This whole idea that everybody, but everybody, has to submit to all sorts of changes, just to accommodate you–well, I can hardly find words for it. This is how collidge students wind up whimpering for “safe space” where they will never see or hear anything that they don’t like. This is how a town loses its annual Christmas parade because a single atheist complains, and gets to impose his arrogance upon the whole community.

Much more of this, and people will no longer know how to live together: and the end products of this kind of education will be unemployable and totally useless to society, spoiled little crybabies who can’t stand not to get their way. That comes in really handy in the workplace.

Public education is an enemy that must be overthrown. It has become totally perverted–although if you read the writings of its founders, something like this was its intention all along.

How to Teach Kids ‘Independence’–Not!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Do you ever get the impression that our society is utterly, totally clueless?

Observe this commercial for an “icon-based watch that kids can read.” Unless you are an ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphics, that is not quite what we mean by reading.

The watch supposedly “teaches kids good habits” and “fosters independence, responsibility, and self-esteem.” Children will demonstrate their independence by doing what the watch tells them to do. As for self-esteem, there’s already more than enough of it floating around out there. Maybe the watch can somehow create a “safe space” where they’ll never see or hear anything they don’t want to see or hear.

Such good habits as I have, my parents taught me, with help from grandparents, aunts, and uncles. We called this “family.” Hopelessly old-fashioned, eh? Eventually the wise men of this fallen world will find a way to replace the family altogether.

I’d like to get off this ride now, please.

 

University Bans ‘Inappropriate Hand Gestures’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Gee, I can think of several eloquent hand gestures that would probably get me kicked out of collidge, these days. But at the University of Edinburgh recently, a 22-year-old collidge student–students seem to be a lot older than they used to be–and student council member was almost expelled for raising her hand during a meeting ( http://www.newsweek.com/campus-censorship-student-criticized-making-hand-gesture-during-debate-443830 ).

It was a meeting of the overgrown children’s committee on Boycotts, Divestment, and Sanctions: which, we are told, was “about the liberation of Palestinians.” (Translation: they hate Israel and Jews.) I mean, how are you expected to get a nation started without the meaningless support of a bunch of collidge students half a world away?

Anyhoo, raising one’s hand to ask a question was also taken to “denote disagreement,” and Edinburgh University is full of “safe space” where no disagreement is allowed, it might upset the inmates. In due course, there was filed a “safe space complaint against [so-and-so] for inappropriate hand gestures.”

They ban what you can say, they ban what you can read, they ban what you can write, and now they ban hand gestures that “denote disagreement.”

So that by the time you graduate, at age 35 or so, you have been transformed into a completely useless waste of space.

The university–where minds and morals go to die.

Down With Father Serra!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Let’s face it–college campuses have to be made incredibly safe, and no member of any minority should ever have to see, hear, or read, or even be aware of, anything that might possibly offend him. As for members of the majority, well, who cares?

“Activists”–shorthand for “arrogant pinheads bullying poor schmucks who are too timid to resist”–at Stanford University have demanded that the Serra Mall be renamed. See, it’s named for Father Junipero Serra, a saint of the Catholic Church. And Father Serra’s crime, for which he must be tried and found guilty hundreds of years later, and cast into outer darkness, was…

Being a missionary. Father Serra planted churches and missions all over California, in the days when it was a Spanish colony, and taught Christianity to the natives.

Humongous and inordinate crime! To rob people of the blessings of paganism and spook worship, and thrust upon them the hope of eternal life! I mean, that is downright mean! Once they take his accursed and oppressive name off the mall, maybe they can start tearing it out of history textbooks, too.

Had enough yet, folks?

When It Feels So Good to be Offended

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Just in case you were thinking it’s only American colleges and universities that have been built up into fortresses for the defense of idiocy, here’s a howler from one of the most ancient and respected universities of them all–Cambridge, in England.

One of the Cambridge University colleges was all set to have a costume party, with a theme of Around the World in 80 Days, when whining petulant ninnies forced its cancellation–on the grounds that dressing up in costumes of other lands is “cultural appropriation” and therefor “racist” ( http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/03/11/cambridge-students-cancel-around-the-world-in-80-days-themed-party-due-to-cultural-appropriation/ ).

Sorry, kiddies, no costume party. If you get dressed up in a sari or something, you will traumatize some poor fragile nitwit, violating his or her safe space and committing microaggression by doing something he or she doesn’t like.

I defy you to propose any activity that won’t be called “racist” on any college campus anywhere in the Western world.

I mean, who even cares whether some college students have a costume party? What kind of life is this, obsessing over trivial things that a normal person wouldn’t even notice, just because it feels so good to be offended?

And there, I think, we’ve solved a mystery.

These people get off on being offended. Having discarded the true and living God, and stumbled into self-worship, they now demand to be shown fear and deference that they have never shown to God Himself.

If they had to go a day without being offended, their heads would probably explode.
