Swarthmore student flees campus after bullying prompts safety concerns

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.

Erin Jenson told The College Fix her Sept. 12 column in the campus newspaper, “The Admissions Office Doesn’t Care About Your Values,” argued that the same colleges encouraging students to challenge anything perceived as privilege do in fact check the privilege of their applicants through complex formulas that ensure a certain percentage of students admitted will be paying full tuition.

The "tolerance" of liberals for others and other opinions never ceases to amaze me.

The atmosphere being promoted by administrators on today's campuses is nothing more than rank bigotry masquerading as high morality.

If thats what parents want their children immersed in then fine. But we should start calling it what it is.

I believe most of today's administrators are fugitives from the Dr. Spock era and don't know how to handle life themselves.

This situation should eventually self-correct as serious students opt for schools of education over schools of indoctrination.

Or hate filled products of social (justice) studies departments themselves.

And what you said about most of them not having a friggin clue as to what lies beyond the gilded gates of their respective "institutions of higher learning", you could not be more correct. I've got some stories.

Because if the admission process were blind (presumably to ethnicity), then white students would benefit?  What does that say about the current process?

In a true market, your idea would succeed, but I must ask:
How many "schools of education" are indeed left?

Name three.
