SJWs are done here

[Dylan]

Oberlin College students have requested the college suspend their standard grading system as students have been too involved in protests of the recent shooting deaths of three black males—Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice—to study effectively.

“Basically, no student especially [sic] black students and students of color should be failing a class this semester,” the petition states. “A ‘C’ should be the lowest grade students can receive this semester.”

According to the Oberlin Review, the college’s student publication, administrators have already promised students that professors will be able to grant emergency incomplete grades for students who have been academically struggling over the course of the semester. However, students on campus have told the student newspaper that the college has done little else to offer support for those students.

The petition, which had more than 1,000 student signatures at time of publication, has been widely circulated through Facebook and emails to students and faculty members, according to a member of the Oberlin community who wished to remain anonymous. Student activists have emailed professors during the month of December to request that students be excused from finals this semester.

“It has come to the attention of students that students of color, particularly Black students, who have suffered significant trauma over the past few weeks due to the Grand Jury decisions are not at all in a place to take their finals right now,” Della Kurzer-Zlotnick, an Oberlin student, wrote to her professor. “I am not among these students, and as a white, middle-class person, I have to privilege [sic] of being able to step away from these events and put enough energy into schoolwork and finals to assure that I will pass my classes.”

"Trigger warning" re "violent language"?!?!?! Goddamnit. God. f**k ing. Damnit. These people are the absolute worst.

Yeah, that's f**k brutal. My mom's brother died, her Grandma was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she had two kids when she went to school. She got straight As and never complained about it, according to my Grandma. So I fail to see why a person undergoing shit like that should be subjected to normal grading, but a person who happens to share the same skin color as a victim they don't know should be given advantages.

Ridiculous.

In other news, my local soccer league committee tried to make it so kids didn't keep score this summer. They got smacked down hard by parents. So there are still sane people out there.

Hippies like her are ruining America. I am of the opinion that caning should become an acceptable form of punishment at all levels of education. As a black man I dodged police fire from the brutal NJSP everyday on my way to class and still finished with a B+ average. These protesters are lucky Bull Conner isn't running the police response.

[Professor]

They've got a point. Blacks should receive a pass because of recent events. In fact, so should Muslims, because of the "illridewithyou" thing. And Hispanics because of all the border crossing and illegal aliens issue. Probably conservative, white, Christians too, because half of them are bat-shit crazy.

Reductio ad absurdum, FTW!!

Get it the f**k together. Fighting injustice isn't easy. If you can't balance a protest and an undergrad exam, you're too soft to fight the good fight.
