LINK: Berkeley Offers Students ‘Counseling’ to Cope With Shapiro Speech

I have seen a lot of people make a big fuss about that snippet from a campus email, but to Berkeley's credit they know they won't get any support from the mayor and local PD who have consistently stood down at every turn and they are making a lot of logistical accommodations for this event (shutting down adjacent buildings, parking lots, etc.). I view that email more as an invitation for offended students to seek more appropriate outlets to voice their frustration than joining in with the riots.

With that said, I'm not entirely sure why it's a Ben Shapiro event that's causing this uproar. Ideologically speaking, he's your everyday run-of-the-mill conservative who stands out because he's young and brash. I would understand the outrage more if it were Milo or Coulter.

If they want the polices help tell them Antifa has some joints on them. The SWAT team will be there ASAP.

I'm guessing my hypothetical daughter wouldn't be going up against a ****ing linebacker.

Saw this post when the thread was bumped, and personal fun fact: I'm roughly a month away from such a daughter no longer being hypothetical. As for now, my position on the matter remains.

FOLSOM (CBS13) — Controversy erupts at Vista Del Lago High School in Folsom over students chanting “USA.”

It’s a popular way to for students to show pride during sporting events and rallies, but school and district officials are now warning students that the chants could appear inappropriate and intolerant.
.....
The district says there has never been a complaint about USA chants at the high school. Students say there’s likely to be a lot of chanting at this Friday’s football game, where the theme is USA pride.

Superman Protects Undocumented Workers From Armed White Supremacist in Latest Comic
Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but perhaps not.

In the recent issue of Action Comics #987, "The Oz Effect," released Wednesday, Superman arrives in the nick of time to protect a group of undocumented immigrants from a white man sporting an American flag bandanna, wielding a machine gun, who is going to shoot them for taking his job.

Superman blocks the bullets before they hit the terrified people.

"Stop this!" Superman orders the gunman.

"Why?!" he responds. "They ruined me! Stole from me!"

Grabbing the gunman by the collar and pulling him in close, Superman says, "The only person responsible for the blackness smothering your soul — is you!"

Police arrive, and Superman hands over the gunman and tells officers to make sure the victims are "safe and cared for." An officer responds, "Anything you say, Superman!"

Duke recruits men for program to fight 'toxic' masculinity
Duke University is recruiting male students for a nine-week program that pledges to “destabilize masculine privilege” and “interrogate masculinity.”

The program, known as the Duke University Men’s Project, seeks to help men examine how their masculinities exist “often in toxic ways” while beginning “the work of unlearning violence.”
........
Over the course of the nine-week program, men will participate in weekly discussion groups conducted through an “intersectional feminist lens,” with the hope of helping male students learn an “intersectional understanding of masculinity” and creating “spaces to destabilize masculine privilege.”

Organizers warn that the program isn’t for the faint of heart, explaining that the discussion groups will make men feel “vulnerable” and “will be challenging,” and should thus be “taken seriously.”

Notably, the application for the program, which closes Wednesday, asks students to describe how “privilege...operates to create inequality on Duke’s campus” and list their preferred gender.

Nothing in here coming to the support of someone who called someone a white supremacist

I wonder why

What are you referring to? It seems "white supremacist" has replaced "racist" in the left's vocab... so lots of accusations going around

Soon something will replace white supremacist.

[goldfly]

Yeah, as if he doesn't have a list of racist **** either. Lol

But yeah, spouting white supremacists lines and being endorsed by him etc etc really help your dumb "point" that he isn't one. Lol

sorry, was there something specific you were referencing in your last post?

'South Park' Episode Triggers Viewers' Amazon Alexa and Google Home

Both Alexa and Google Home were featured in "White People Renovating Houses," and the cartoon characters yelling commands at their cartoon models for 30 minutes played havoc on some actual Alexa and Home models.

"We have an Amazon Alexa and a Google Home and South Park repeatedly screwed with both of them tonight," one Twitter user noted. Another viewer said he got so sick of his model going off, he had to unplug it. And another posted video of the incident.

Was this done on purpose? Well, it is South Park.

Could you imagine if a college offered a course to fight toxic feminism. I fine with the college doing whatever they want so long as public funds aren't paying for it. I doubt anyone who signs up for this course counts as male anyways. We need to be vigilant about these things because SJW will try to make things like this mandatory. They are already indoctrinating it to kids in public schools

You know they did it on purpose, they love that role in American society. Hard to blame them to be honest.

That's just promoting wussiness isn't it?

Now Sam Adams Oktoberfest is another matter IMO. ;)
