CA: Conservative student group denied official recognition, called ‘unsafe’ for minorities

Santa Clara university is a Jesuit [Catholic] school located in a state that views anything Republican with genuine suspicion/ unease. Go on any campus in California or across the nation and you will discover animosity toward Republicans and their spokesmen. To even admit to being Republican is tantamount to immediate alienation in colleges and even high schools. Not a favorable indicator for the future of the GOP.

 

i have no love for nazis, white supremacists or the like, but i don't see that they should be silenced. just as any of the other disgusting philosophies out there, they too have a right to proclaim their beliefs. this selective definition of "hate" has fueled these groups more than anything else. the more you seek to silence someone, the louder they will shout their message. silence them absolutely and they will find far more destructive ways to advertise their message. instead, let them spout their bile. let the public be made aware of every point of view available. let each individual make an informed decision utilizing all of the information.

luckily many of these fools will grow up. doing that and actually having to compete in the real world will dissuade many of them from following their lily-livered course.

 

How old does one need be to accept ignorance? Actually the younger generation maintains support for Democrats well beyond graduation. What can a Republican do to gain acceptance?

 

That is changing rapidly as Gen Z is far more Conservative an skeptical of the SJW's and their crap desires to stomp on Free Speech.

 

Keep dreaming. Do your UCLA classmates know you are Republican?

 

You are speaking from a position of ignorance.

However, Gen Z is not the small minded little bitches that you refer to that are running our education system. They are for freedom of expression and not little fascists attempting to force others to comply.

 

You're spouting off with nothing behind your words again. You should be embarrassed, but blind partisans never take personal account of their positions, so I expect you to continue to believe your own lies.

 

Well said!

 

Only if you attempt to actually implement any kind of 'anti hate'. The only legitimate position is to allow ALL of it, as long as it's not direct instigation to violence.

 

They'll segregate us to our own seperate areas, then call us racist for having our own seperate areas.

Thats OK. Their self-imposed abstinance to owning firearms gives us the real power monopoly regardless what else they do.

 

Yes, real world adulthood and responsibilities sure have a way of knocking the Disneyland out of 'em. Further, maturity brings with it a sense of humour ... something seriously lacking in your self-righteous15-22 year old

 

Really? You live in Orange county. When will you finally begin to panic? Again, are you waiting for the day when you can wear your MAGA cap on campus this decade?

 

I see you got nothing once I proved you wrong with links and a video.

I am a Freedom of Speech loving American. If I owned a MAGA hat, I would wear it anywhere I please. I don't allow fear, or bullies, or SJW cucks, to take away my Constitutional Rights.

Your position was proven wrong and your claims are pathetic.

 

It's a certainty.

 

You're derailing the thread after you were proven wrong. This is a laugh. So, you got nothing for Gen Z being very Conservative and wrecking the Leftist agenda?

 

Wow. I’m actually shocked & pleasantly surprised here.

Unless I just got trolled..

 

You always post the same impotent complaint. Life is tough for California Republicans on or off college campuses.

 

obviously there are a great many folks in their late teens and twenties who gladly accept ignorance. they would rather silence alternatives than risk exposing their fragile egos to differing viewpoints.

it isn't that age brings wisdom, but that it affords us the time to develop it. if we are lucky enough, observant enough and honest enough we have the opportunity to make proper choices from the information we are provided. many will choose wrong. most, in fact, will choose wrong to varying degrees, but the choice will be theirs. denying yourself access to all of the available information is the very definition of ignorance. denying others that access is among the greatest of intellectual sins.

as for republicans... they are in flux. they were honest enough to allow an outsider into their ranks and he won a seat in the oval office. did they learn some lesson from that? doubtful, but only time will tell. would it satisfy the malcontents if they did learn that lesson? of course not.

 

When Republicans make mistakes the nation suffers, bigtime. Trump is quintessential Republican. So why would college students want anything to do with such ignorance? It doesn't go far on a resume.

 

Suffer? we have the best economy in decades so if that is suffering I say suffer on

 

Yes, because if it wasn't for Trump things in America would be awesome. Barry was on track to give you the most sumptuous racial division since the 1950s! Ripped off!

As for ignorance, it's hard to find a better example than the average brainwashed 'Humanities' student. Walk across to the STEM side of town and you'll find actual open minds.

 

I was very liberal in 1st year of college. When I obtained my masters degree i was very conservative. 6 years on campus + life experience does that to you.
Funny enough, I observed an interesting shift in political attitudes on campus among the peers - first 2 years everyone is very liberal, next two years people (at least in business school) start to question their views. And then when you go for MBA you are not having much respect from your peers if you are still a liberal and instructors openly blast liberal politicians. In a master degree program we didn’t want to get involved politically with the kids from undergraduate programs simply because we had better things to do with our time.
There is a saying - if you are young and a conservative you have no heart and if you are old and liberal you have no brain. That’s a very accurate statement.

 

I dunno. In general this is probably true, but some of us become MORE liberal with age. Especially in response to the deeply illiberal nature of the 21stC Left (aka, Progressives). I'm becoming more Left and more liberal, for sure. So is my husband, and he started out far more centrist than myself.

 

A bit antiquated I'm afraid and just another Republican myth. How can anyone admit support for Republicans when they elect such a fool as Trump? College campuses reflect the same attitudes of the community. Santa Clara university is in the Silicon Valley where young and old most definitely never vote for Republicans. Haven't elected a Republican in decades in fact.

 

Well, why would they .. they probably think money grows on trees and 'struggle' means being misgendered.
