Amherst Student Protesters Want Disciplinary Action In Response To “Free Speech” Posters

Amherst Uprising—”a collective of students on campus who came together as a result of the sit-In organized in Frost Library on 11/12/15″—has delivered demands to their university president. Number five on their list is pretty illustrative how far off the deep end these student protesters are (emphasis added):

President Martin must issue a statement to the Amherst College community at large that states we do not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the “All Lives Matter” posters, and the “Free Speech” posters that stated that “in memoriam of the true victim of the Missouri Protests: Free Speech.” Also let the student body know that it was racially insensitive to the students of color on our college campus and beyond who are victim to racial harassment and death threats; alert them that Student Affairs may require them to go through the Disciplinary Process if a formal complaint is filed, and that they will be required to attend extensive training for racial and cultural competency.

I’m surprised that the students are content with such half-measures. With millions of Americans running around free to say offensive things, why not just demand every university become a reeducation camp for “cultural competency”?
