Although some might be taken in by the “plight” of those taking part in the “Million Student March,” not everyone is impressed by the protesters, much less their platform. Naturally, several GOP candidates have come swinging out against the students, viewing them as spoiled brats who want even more than they already have. Breitbart documents some of these responses in it’s live feed coverage of the march:
“19.52 ET
GOP presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina has weighed in. The candidate and former HP CEO said that the chaos on US campuses is the result of a climate of political correctness that’s ‘choking’ the country. ‘One of the things you see going on, on so many college campuses now, is kids are taught that if anything offends their sensibilities, they should stand up and say, ‘Ooh, don’t talk to me about that,’ ‘ Fiorina said. ‘This doesn’t help our young people prepare for a lifetime in the real world.’”“18.02 ET
BEN CARSON: COLLEGES HAVE ‘LEVEL OF INTOLERANCE FOR NON-PC IDEAS THAT IS THREATENING OUR FREEDOMS‘Carson stated, ‘at a lot of campuses, there’s a level of intolerance for things that are not, so-called, politically correct, that is growing, and is really threatening our freedoms. It seems like we’re not really emphasizing the whole concept of freedom of speech, and freedom of expression, and most importantly, of open dialogue. You know, it’s okay to disagree with people, but it’s not okay to try to destroy them. What we really need to do if we were mature, is to be able to sit down, put on a table, the rationale for our beliefs, and discuss them like intelligent adults. That is not being fostered at our universities, to the detriment of our society, and we need to stop it before we change into something that we don’t want to be.’”
Careful with that talk you guys! You might trigger the students with your “hostile” language, since they’re so used to talking to people who go along with everything they say! But put them in a room with somebody who doesn’t agree them, and boy, do they lose it! See for yourself in the video below, where Neil Cavuto interviews a female student who tries to recite the protestor’s laundry list of demands only for him to come down hard on her and make her look like the fool that she is.
