Students storm library, shut down College Republicans meeting

[Granule]

A College Republicans meeting at the University of California, Santa Cruz was taken over by protesters screaming that the group’s existence is a threat to the safety of students.

Calling the CR members “fascists,” “racists,” and “white supremacists," the protesters refused to have a civil conversation, proclaiming that "dialogue is violence."

Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

We love free speech, but not for Conservatives.

Fwiw there was a thread started about this a couple of days ago but it's worth discussing again. This type of behavior is becoming more and more common across college campuses.

That's because you're anti-education.

To each his own but that's some fascist behavior. And if other liberals think like you then y'all need to quit with the "liberals are intellectual" rhetoric. This is anti intellectual at its finest (worst).

You need to go stand in the mirror and ask yourself where was all your concern about civility when Obama was president.

Personally, I don't give a rats ass about republicans not being able to do a goddamn thing. Why in the fuck would I given what the Republican Party is?

Dude, we're talking about college campuses. What does that have to do with Obama?

Do you not believe college is a time when one is supposed to be exposed to different thoughts and ideas (and I don't mean just political) and ultimately a time of learning?

and these republicans were given some differing thoughts

eeding Adamian’s call, student activists disrupted the meeting by banging open the door to the meeting space and shouting accusations that the members were “fascists,” “racists,” and “white supremacists.”

According to the UCSC College Republicans, their offers to discuss the concerns of the protesters were met with exclamations that “dialogue is violence,” after which the protesters called the club’s presence a “threat to the library” and demanded that the CR members vacate the space immediately.

The protesters even reportedly berated library staff members when they refused to shut down the pre-approved meeting. One staff member eventually asked the CR members to leave in order to end the disturbance, but meeting attendees chose to respond by sitting quietly and refusing to leave the area.

The commotion culminated in one of the student activists running out into the main library area screaming that there were “Nazis downstairs,” but while the gimmick drew several spectators, many of them expressed indignation at the actions of the protestors.

It has EVERYTHING to do with it .. and you not knowing that makes your questions quite suspect.

NO, Hell no, I would not want my children exposed to moronic racist thought regardless of the setting. They already know what that shit is without a primer from a racist.
