Not only is someone with an ISIS flag condemning America met with indifference – but the anti-Israel (and anti-Semitic) comments that start almost immediately when the Israeli flag is displayed are alarming.
Also, it appears that smoking a cigarette is more threatening than the ISIS flag.
Also — the UC system enforcing ideological “purity” on whim and allegations as if it were run by Iranian Imams.
In November 2013, two dozen graduate students at the University of California at Los Angeles marched into an education class and announced a protest against its “hostile and unsafe climate for Scholars of Color.” The students had been victimized, they claimed, by racial “microaggression”—the hottest concept on campuses today, used to call out racism otherwise invisible to the naked eye. UCLA’s response to the sit-in was a travesty of justice. The education school sacrificed the reputation of a beloved and respected professor in order to placate a group of ignorant students making a specious charge of racism.
The pattern would repeat itself twice more at UCLA that fall: students would allege that they were victimized by racism, and the administration, rather than correcting the students’ misapprehension, penitently acceded to it. Colleges across the country behave no differently. As student claims of racial and gender mistreatment grow ever more unmoored from reality, campus grown-ups have abdicated their responsibility to cultivate an adult sense of perspective and common sense in their students. Instead, they are creating what tort law calls “eggshell plaintiffs”—preternaturally fragile individuals injured by the slightest collisions with life. The consequences will affect us for years to come.
“eggshell plaintiffs”
RACIST!!
The consequences will affect us for years to come.
Actually, this is the consequence of the “good self esteem” movement of a generation ago, just starting to rear its lavishly entitled head.
as if it were run by Iranian Imams
Follow the money. Guess where lots of the donations trace back.
I’m thinking that it’s child abuse to send a kid to public schools or college.
The most satisfying response to an accusation of microaggression, it seems to me, is obvious.
Seldom have I seen individuals that would benefit more from 8 weeks in the loving care of a Marine drill instructor.
So the new “Original Sin” is being born white and/or intelligent? There’s no forgiveness for it, no matter how many sacrifices and charbroiled-professor-offerings are placed at the feet of these modern-day Demigods of Color?
Microaggressions. They should pray they stay that way.

I’m thinking a punch in the nose, if possible.
So, macroagression?
