Is this Our "Liberal" Education? Student's Refuse to Take Exam Because "White Privilege!"

That's debatable. If she's using her real name then she's not listed on U.C. Berkely's student roster.

Most people DON'T use their real names for all sorts of good reasons, unless like Ben Shapiro, or Bill Mahr, they are already famous.

Much like WE don't use our real names for all sorts of privacy reasons.

Vloggers are more apt to be the targets of random, unwanted, unwarranted contacts from people all over the nation and around the world.

Would YOU put your name and direct contact info in a video blog site?

Cardinal said:
At least you're not claiming that "BooshiBanter" is a real person associated with Yale.

These videos are too similar to other troll videos and memes created to stir up resentment and conflict.

Which is not to say they are not true. :shrug:

Now you've posted a number of responses and not ONCE have you addressed the original post issues.

If you are only going to respond with diversionary fallacies, why respond at all? :coffeepap:

If you know that she's not going under her real name then it's a bit premature to claim that she's a student at U.C. Berkely, don't you think?

Now here's an interesting point: why is it important to you to defend the notion that "Ashton Birdie" is a real student at Berkely, yet have no interest in defending the same claim for the second video?

Can you give a synopsis of the videos?

A group of immigrant students interrupted a class and wanted to take the mid-term via a take home assignment because "the recent climate on campus" (the Berkely riots that took place in February). The professor retorted that such a thing would jeopordize the integrity of the institution and that it is not excusable to say that the climate on campus prevents them from taking an exam. One student protested the protestors and the protester responded with"are you trying to silence me" and the student responded "I'm trying to take my exam". The protestors then proceeded to begin taking the exam, with the female lead protestor boldly proclaiming that the professor allowing the Mid-term exam to continue is a show of support for White Supremacy. Then stated thatt students who want to take the mid-term exam are also supporters of White Supremacy.

Your first video was uploaded by someone calling themselves "ashtonbirdie". The second video by someone hiding behind the name "BooshiBanter".

No context at all was provided, and no guarantees that the portrayals are authentic and were filmed spontaneously.

Two random videos of unknown authorship, uploaded by pseudonyms.

Disappointing Captain. Very sophomoric and a bit Russian.

LOL. How desperate do you have to be to make those kinds of arguments to avoid discussing what's in the videos?

What's at issue here is your propensity for disseminating trashy troll videos by anonymous sources on this site. Do you remember when you tried posting a youtube video of "Democrats Busted On Camera Stuffing Ballot Boxes," only for it to be a video of people in Russia stuffing a box?

https://www.debatepolitics.com/us-elections/268116-hell-happened-trump-hillary-8.html#post1066470885

Here's the original video since the one in that thread no longer works (post 75):



So the question remains: why are you a consumer and spreader of troll videos? This is a pattern for you, Captain Adverse.

...and here was my response immediately after your post pointing out this error.

Captain Adverse said:
Hmm, A little research and I found a video regarding a Russian election with that segment (only .49 - 1.21, not the rest) here: Russian elections: Putin-backed party sweeps to victory amid allegations of election fraud | The Independent

Still, if one part is false, then the rest must also be suspect.

I had remembered this video from a couple of days ago, and wrongly assumed it was 100% valid. Didn't think about it until I saw your reply. I apologize for failing to research further. My error entirely. :3oops:

As usual, I OWN my mistakes and don't pretend I was not at fault.

Meanwhile, again you engage in fallacious responses, in this case a blatant ad hominin attacking my character.

One can only wonder why it is so important for you to refuse to address the OP issue, preferring to divert to any other subject in order to undermine the issue.

You are Dismissed. :thumbdown

It's not a mistake if it's a pattern, captain adverse. The problem is that you're a consumer of anonymous troll videos. Why? How do you keep finding your way to them?

I just found this video on YouTube, although it was posted back on 10/18/17.

I'll ask that you ignore the video-blogger commentary and just focus on the actions in the video of what was said and done by certain students expected to take a test that day:



This is at U.C. Berkley, once famous for it's true Liberal action back in the 60's and 70's...

Were you patient enough to go through the entire embedded video to gauge what is wrong with this picture?

This current video above is on a par with what happened in the video below back on the Yale campus Sept, 2016.



Demanding, rude, entitled, uncompromising. Feelings over rational discourse.

That is what our educational system has been creating.

IMO, small wonder this is exactly why we are seeing the same kinds of reactions in our public and political discourse.

Isn't it time and past time was take back Institutions of higher learning from the grasp of Progressives, and turn them back into critical thinking and applied learning rather than "Insert SJW-studies" courses?

Thoughts?

Are you angry because you've found your Bobby Jones University degree to be a detriment to employment/advancement?
 
Re: Is this Our "Liberal" Education? Student's Refuse to Take Exam Because "White Privilege!"

Captain Adverse said:
Hmmm.... :think:

I dunno, perhaps because you can find example after example of the same or similar acts repeated on campus after campus around the nation.

Some actually making the news.

Then you can see the same types of "confrontational" style reflected in every day discourse...often in this very Forum :coffeepap:

And I can find examples of idiotic trump supporters, often on this very forum. Does that mean all trump supporters or the majority of them are idiots? Hmmmmmmmmmm :coffeepap:

Your choice of words: "So your argument is that because you find the president rude..."

Not "...because the president is rude..." but that I find the president rude. Are you suggesting that this is just my opinion and that the president is not, in fact, rude?
Click to expand...



The issue is not whether I find him rude or not. but since you are all #triggered about it. Not particularly any moreso than many from here, Being a born and bread new yorker, (not some Minnesota hipster transplant), his mannerisms are not uncommon here, nor are they particularly offensive. We have thicker skins than you apparently which leads you to create a strawman to avoid answering my question.


Perhaps you can now address my question.

So your argument is that because you find the president rude that no, not one republican or conservative can opine on peoples attitudes and rudeness?
