More insane, stupid rules on campus..

https://metro.co.uk/2018/10/12/kent-...reros-8030266/

So Cowboy, because it has boy in it,.....glad some of the comments by other students are rational, the one below is the best.
.
Another added: 'The idiots making all these silly rules up have just moved out of their parents' bedrooms and are acting like power crazy Hitlers.
I get that a handful are offensive, but yeah over the top.

Maybe in the next thirty years all movies with Cowboys will be banned or when Cowboy is verbally mentioned it will be replaced by "Cow/Gender Neutral'?

A pity, since in the past when a civilization went into Sh**crazy mode, it was taken over by one that wasn't or wasn't yet.

    Are Brit schools trying to be more politically correct than US schools? They are worried about OUR 'Native Americans'? And more of the 'jazz hands' nonsense.


    Beginning to think we need to home school college students until the admin and faculties of the universiies grow up.


    In the US I think what we are missing is mandatory military service for men and women - whether it be 'military' or 'service related' in nature....that gives a taste of real life before these 'children' finish their 'education'.


    Those who object to 'military' can work on infrastructure - nothing politically correct about digging ditches or building bridges....

      unfortunately the military has been polluted by this crap.. and infrastructer projects tend to go to Unions or heavily involve unions.. and the people who run those unions tend to be close to the ideology that the professors and college admins have .

      fortunately people can probably get the equivalent or much better college level education with a growing number of online options ..where it easy enough to put the best lectures from the best professor up online ..perfectly edited ..and with improving ai based education..

      yada yada yada .. in any case people are no more and more aware of the studi crap going on in colleges .. that is not drunken partying and that old style college experience .. and gorwing number are not willing to pay the price of sending their children to these institutions of higher learning.. ok Parent in Asian countries like india and china who have the money now .. but it perfectly fine for colleges to discriminate against them and make it much harder for them to get in


      this is the best i can do on this without getting political

    Why is Claude not on this list??

    'Someone should have a rally outside the uni wearing all things they find offensive while clapping them all in.'
    I want to go as a Nazi-nun with a Hitler mustache, sombrero and bow, and arrows.

    ...working towards a kinder, gentler, weaker society.

      Students already know that the amount of prosthetics needed to look like Claude are way outside their budget.

      Because Homeland security the FBI, and the Wooster Mens Sauna, Feather Emporium and Gas station, have deemed that costume to be highly offensive to small children, doughnut manufacturers and small dogs.

    So someone can go as a Roman can they bring a Sword and horse&chariot to the party ?
    Are Cavemen allowed to bring a Club? Or will this offend the little snowflakes ?

    Wait, but there is more...

    https://news.sky.com/story/kleenex-r...aints-11528558

    I guess that means that Solo ad's with a man, crushing one, after climbing a hill and such, will be replaced by, who knows, hard day at the shops, perhaps?
