Students at Trinity College Protest Pro-Western Civilization ‘Churchill Club’
“complaints from students of color and their supporters declare the Churchill Club’s existence on campus marginalizes them”
When the subject of Western Civilization is a triggering subject which must be protested, it’s time to shut it all down. This is insane.
The College Fix reports:
Protests, racial unrest engulf Trinity College over students’ pro-Western Civ Churchill Club
Racial unrest. Protests. Accusations. Name-calling. Threats.
The renown and historic Trinity College has become a hotbed of angry dissent and turmoil as students of color and their allies — including the infamous “whiteness is terrorism” professor — have accused some students of supporting white supremacy and being racist for their desire to study Western philosophical traditions.
Amid those accusations, the student government at Trinity College recently rejected a request for official recognition from the students’ Churchill Club to support discussions on themes underpinning Western Civilization. The club is named after Winston Churchill.
Trinity College, founded in 1823 in Hartford, Connecticut, is known as one of the “Little Ivies,” costing $76,450 annually in tuition, room, board, books and fees.
It’s at this campus steeped in tradition that complaints from students of color and their supporters declare the Churchill Club’s existence on campus marginalizes them and makes them feel unsafe and that it supports white supremacy and ethnocentricity. This led the Student Government Association to vote to deny the group on Sunday.
This decision prompted the university’s President Joanne Berger-Sweeney on Monday to overrule the student government’s determination. She cited the Office of Student Activities, Involvement and Leadership’s approval of the club earlier in the semester as the reason why.

Comments
Ideas that MUST NOT be discussed include:
* Western civilization might have contributed something non-evil to the world
* Not all “people of color” are the same
* Some dead white males might have (probably accidentally) done something okay.
* Free speech is good
* Donald Trump is president.
Life would have been so good without Churchill. Just think of all of the fascism that would be right at the fingertips of these bozos (too bad they are of the wrong race to take advantage).
