I'm pretty sure one is the equivalent of throwing a brick through a Starbucks window and the other is the equivalent of the bad part of a mushroom trip, but I did enjoy this Google Translated post in response to the latter:

"Friends. I do not know Spanish. I do not know Portuguese. I'm writing text using a translator. It's a stupid song. I do not understand the meaning of the song. Translation - capital. On one hand, Engels. On one side , Karl Marx . The video shows President Veresuely , president of Cuba , President of Belarus. In Russia , Belarus and Ukraine have good musicians. This musician is known as a clown. In Lapis songs - he makes a travesty. I do not know why he did it . Liapis heard in his youth. First time I hear this song. Lapis wanted money , I think. It is a bad musician . We love the Spanish guitar , rock , song of the Cossacks. Lapis - this is not the culture of Russia, not the culture of Belarus. Thank you"

Can anyone recommend me a book on Canadian history that deals with the history of Canada in the same way that Howard Zinn confronts American history in "A Peoples History of the United States"?

The most troubling incident in the recording, starting at the 7:12 mark, occurred when Schierbecker approached Assistant Professor of Communications Melissa Click inside the ring of protesters. He explained that he was a journalist and that he wished to speak with her. She immediately demanded he leave and appeared to grab his camera. (Speaking of things protesters do not have a right to do, that is one of them.)

Schierbecker, acting within his rights, refused to leave. Click alarmingly responded by yelling, “Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here. Help me get him out.” That Click’s demand for protesters to use force on a student journalist is fundamentally illiberal cannot be stated strongly enough. It’s one thing to incorrectly claim that journalists, often the greatest check against violence committed against protesters, cannot be in a public space. It’s another thing entirely for her to believe she has a right to use force to remove them.

As students surrounded him, Schierbecker again reiterated that protesters cannot force him to leave public space. Click mockingly replied, “Yeah that’s a really good one, I’m a communications faculty and I really get that argument but you need to go. You need to go.” She’s right about one thing, at least: Schierbecker’s argument is a really good one. It’s an argument that one might expect a professor of communications to respect. Apparently, members of Mizzou’s School of Journalism agree. The Columbia Missourian reports today that faculty began voting to remove Click from her courtesy appointment in the School of Journalism. She will retain her position in the university’s Department of Communication.

The school said "when picking Halloween costumes. think about what's offensive and avoid it." The professor said "don't let other people tell you what's offensive, we're all adults here, use your brains." The students said "my feelings determine what is offensive, shut up." And then things got even more stupid. The letter from the professor is actually really well written, but the only copy I have lives on reddit, and that's a horrible thing.

Speaking of horrible things in horrible places on the internet,

Protesters (the teacher in the picture in particular) objected to the press being present. Reporter was in his right to be there and to document proceedings. Only way to get their way was to physically eject the reporters. Clown loving shoes.

Walker told me I have AIDS.
Actually the halloween thing is the protests at Yale, which were the ones generating the massive mockery.

Mizzou is about the black football players demanding the resignation of the president of the university for a number of racist incidents. The coach and athletic directors lent their support to the protests and he resigned.

They're both an example of college students thinking that colleges have a responsibility to respect their feelings and desire to have a "safe space", and whether that is more important than first amendment rights. It's easy to mock them for being ridiculous, so it's being passed around as an example of colleges being silly left wing institutions where fee-fees are more important than actual learning. I donno, I went to a small liberal arts college and people would protest basically anything, because they're young and free from parents and all those other things.

There have been a few articles basically suggesting the students feel betrayed because they were promised the world in brochures and in reality these schools are huge, and they don't feel like they have advocates among the faculty. Is it stupid? Probably. Did the very vocal and loud people in those videos cross the line and basically invalidate their arguments by their actions? Probably.

Also important to note that they're not actually huge protests.

In addition to the repercussions against John Carlos and Tommie Smith’s gesture, Peter Norman (the white Australian) was shunned by the Australian Olympics Board and effectively erased from Australian Olympic history simply for wearing an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge and refusing to condemn their gesture or tell the press that they'd ruined his ceremony.
