The South, the South...God knows what shall become of her.

- panic 10y agothe sort of things that go on at Yale these days What do you mean by this?
- jonwachob91 10y agoProbably referencing the students that act like spoiled children b/c not everyone has the same opinions as them... https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/the-new-intolerance-of-student-activism-at-yale/414810/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/the-new...
- jtedward 10y agoWell it's more effective then griping on the internet. The spoiled child approach has done wonders for Trump and the Republicans.
- toehead2000 10y agoThis can be interpreted two, opposing ways. Very clever

- Avshalom 10y ago>Her message was a model of relevant, thoughtful, civil engagement. Actually her message was a model of pretending that we haven't been having the black face conversation every single god damned year for over a hundred years while flogging her book.
- fludlight 10y agoThat one of the most outspoken defenders of slavery would not approve of a 21st century American university that, among other things, admits black students and employs black faculty.

- Haven_Monahan 10y agoI mean that a school that started for the express purpose of training Puritan Congregationalist ministers, and had mandatory Protestant chapel until 1926, now has coed dormitories, an LGBT club, and Atheists at the Divinity College. Even for someone not particularly religious for the time(Calhoun eventually became a Unitarian), all that would be a little difficult for him to get his head around. I mean, it could be worse. I imagine sometimes how Increase Mather would react to Harvard today, and I kinda understand where fundamentalist terrorists get their outrage from.
