Seeing individuals that blame the oppressed for overthrowing an unjust system is one incident I didn't expect on my bingo card today. Especially in America of all places that fought wars over taxes and slavery.

Did I blame the oppressed? I blamed ignorant protestors.

And the oppressed becoming the oppressors has a long history. Russian Revolution, French Revolution, South Africa, many other African countries

Too bad students can't physically assault the wrong-doers without REAL repercussions.

Allowing students to police themselves would be fine if canning were legal.

I can't really tell what's happening, but if it's a student disrupting the entire class, then it's the epitome of society decay of both Gen Z and our current culture.
This probably could have been a pretty good tip off of the culture at A&M now:


My time on campus was during the Apartheid movement and a small group of students would build apartheid shacks right in that same area to bring awareness.... these must be those students' kids. It's the .001% of the student body and I'd guess that many of the group are not even students of A&M
We knocked those the f down.


You are pro-Apartheid?

Thank you for finally explaining the video. I couldn't get the audio to work so I was truly confused as to why we were supposed to be brandishing pitchforks.

Seems like the situation was handled and the worst thing that happened was that I wasted 60 seconds of my life trying to watch the video..

I guess I am struggling to find a reason why someone would knock down signs protesting Apartheid unless they supported Apartheid.

Or just really hated peaceful protest and freedom of speech?

Or were just an arrogant drunk bully?

A campus 10,000 moles away from South Africa is not a place to protest South Africa. It does nothing to South Africa, putting up shacks simply trashes the A&M campus.

Perhaps he simply hated idiots

I am trying to come up with any decent reason that someone would go out of their way to destroy something that has no effect on their lives and they could easily walk past. Coming up blank, tbh.

Don't dump crap on my campus, and I won't kick it over.

Which is why this statement would lead to lawsuits if a professor followed through with it.

I'd bet the students police themselves real quickly

If a student trying to get into grad school had his grade dropped because of something someone else did, there would be attorneys involved.

Would you feel that same way if people were knocking over signs supporting White South African farmers?

From what he has said, he is against all peaceful protesting on A&Ms campus and even flyers for events on campus should be relegated to the trash bin. The campus must be as pristine as Mary Kondo's home before she had kids and if it doesn't spark joy on the most beautiful university grounds in the nation, it must be removed, with force.

I have the right to kick a student out of class for being a disruption. It's in the student and faculty handbook. They cannot return until I'm satisfied it won't happen again and if it's bad enough I can just say "you aren't ever coming back". Good luck passing the class when you aren't allowed to attend.

Where is this school? It sounds nice, makes me wish I had gone there. As long as it isn't in Utah.

My mother taught GED classes and had to deal with this.

At first she mostly taught adults who, let's choose words diplomatically here, had already been down one path in life. They wanted to go down a different path. Getting a GED was the first step on that path, so they were motivated to be there.

But then the schools started dumping the still-teenage dropouts into the GED classes. If a student drops out of high school and immediately enrolls in a GED program, their tests scores don't count when a school gets evaluated. See how that works? They were encouraging kids to drop out to get test scores up. The kids just had to enroll in the GED program and show up for one class. Not my problem anymore.

Of course, these kids didn't want to be there. My mother had to start dealing with high school hijinks, which distracted her from teaching the adults who wanted to be there. There were a few that she did have to kick out of class, a couple that were off their medication and borderline violent.

She supposedly had final say over who got to be in class, but of course there was blowback from parents and caseworkers.

Then that poor GA would spend the next 3 days getting yelled at by Addison's mom about how unfair that is.

Sue Addison's fatass mom for assault.

This probably could have been a pretty good tip off of the culture at A&M now:


It was about 40-50 people total, and many were not students.

With 70,000 students, there are going to be some idiots.

Also, they were peaceful and did not attack or harass others, nor did they damage any property.
Is our favorite sociology professor still giving out class credit for his protest of the week?

Security needs to be called and if it is a student, needs to be expelled, and if not, needs to be charged with trespassing.

Wouldn't surprise me. He decided to grace F16 with his presence the other day so he's still around.

And not being correcting on purpose, but he's in anthropology.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
