Columbia’s Teachers College

Does anyone outside of academia really think that “individual responsibility” is a scourge upon our society?

It reminded of me how children escalate and go so mentally and physically out of control to get their way. Many of them will not remember what was said because of the intensity of their actions. It would not have mattered who was giving a speech,these children/adults? would behave the same. They are bullying individuals and groups and the administration. I beleive Columbia administration is at a lost, it is like a parent watching their child throw a tantrum and cannot do anything because they do not know how to stop it. I would suggest that the administration be aware because I am sure that alumni will show there confidence in their University by reducing their donations/funding....

Some are going out of their way to enroll the Taliban, so they can say they have. Some how that is supposed to be opening the demographic. These colleges claims to stimulate thinking and learning. How is the stifeling of free speech stimulating anything? These people are the first to whine if they are not afforded the right of free speech. Hypocrits.

These "children" are just acting out what they feel in their hearts. How do you think Red China was so successful with the Cultural Revolution. The youth, of course. Same principle here. Heaven forbid I should call these malcontents commies, I am Not. I do describe them as totalitarian in nature, however, and that's that. There hasn't been a two-way street of freedom of expression at Columbia since the Magna Carta, fer cryin' out loud. Let the stupid "students" remain so. Minutemen are doing their job and do not need the intolerance of those cretins. March on!

Most of them I didn't agree with, but we would have never dared to disgrace our school by showing complete intolerance toward hearing anything we disagreed with - Why does it seem that the so-called "ivy league" school condone this behavior? Seems to me that the "elite schools" only exist to further an agenda that more and more seems to be about anything except education.

Unfortunately, this is what passes for "education" in our most elite universities. It is truly shameful. This can't even be called liberal or left-leaning. It is nothing but pure radical fascism. The Minutemen are not breaking any laws and have not shot any illegals they spotted crossing the border. They are watching from a distance and reporting to the Border Patrol when they spot illegals crossing the border. In other words, they are out there as American citizens doing what our government should be doing but won't do. The Minutemen founder and some members were INVITED to the university by the College Republicans, and this is the treatment they received by these radical thugs masquerading as students. It is obvious Columbia University is not about educating at all but about indoctrinating. These pathetic idiots believe the U.S. has NO right whatsoever to enforce our own borders. They do not even believe in our right to HAVE borders apparently. Groups like this are always the first to scream "freedom of speech" when they spew their venom, but this is the way they respond to anyone whose ideas differ from theirs, which is approximately 99% of the American public. Apparently, freedom of speech only applies to them. Alumni should respond by withholding donations to the university, but I'm sure, being Columbia, the donations will pour in instead.
