    The College Fix
    Jeremy Beaman - University of Mobile •September 27, 2016

    Reaction to a Swarthmore College student’s recent op-ed in the campus newspaper about the preppy liberal arts school’s need-blind admissions program has been so vicious and severe — cyberbullying, a message telling her she should have her tongue removed, a note saying “kill yourself bitch” — that the column’s author has left campus.

    'Elite' is becoming its own antonym in all venues.

    I believe the children are our future
    Teach them well and let them lead the way...

    Here's to the hope that what's happening on campuses across the nation is the work of a relatively small but vocal number of students who will eventually grow up and come to their senses.

    For what it's worth, I'd bet the rent that she'll do a hell of a lot better in the real world than the crybullies will.

    I know I'm a cynic, but I always view these kinds of stories with a skeptical eye.

    If it's true, that's horrible, but also typical for the left, which tries to silence all opposition to their viewpoints, in spite of trumpeting tolerance and diversity. They love diversity, provided it's in lockstep with their beliefs.

    Or as William F. Buckley put it, "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."

    You are right to be skeptical of any particular story but this does fit the sheissegeist zeitgeist.
