The following list of demands by Oberlin students is not only hilarious but also very pleasing. After seeing each deranged demand, I feel thankful that my students are normal, intelligent people and not these useless brats. Here are some of the crazy demands of the spoiled little things:
The immediate firing of some Oberlin employees, the immediate tenuring of some faculty members, specific curricular changes, a review and possible revision of the grading system (to be overseen by students), the creation of “safe spaces” for black students in at least three buildings on campus, the creation of a program to enroll recently released prisoners from a nearby prison as undergraduates, divestment from Israel, and a requirement that black student leaders be paid $8.20 an hour for their organizing efforts.
The students also demanded changes at Oberlin’s noted conservatory. For instance, the list of demands said that students should not be required to take “heavily based classical courses that have minimal relevance to their jazz interests.” Stating that classical music students are not required to study jazz, the list of demands says that students of jazz “should not be forced to take courses rooted in whiteness.”
Priceless shit. My students throw an occasional tantrum but it’s on an entirely different level than this entitled garbage.
Oberlin’s president refused to discuss the demands. Good for him because it’s demeaning to discuss this kind of thing as if it had merit.
