Political discourse, the debating of ideas and intelligent conversation on college campuses have all been eviscerated in recent years. If you don’t adopt politically correct opinion and espouse liberal/socialist ideas then you will be labeled a white supremacist, a Nazi and a card-carrying member of the KKK. It’s really ridiculous.
Case in point, high school students with Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) held an Affirmative Action Bake Sale outside the University of Texas at Austin’s campus. It is a typical demonstration to outline the fallacies behind affirmative action, and it has been done multiple times before over the years (even John Stossel held his own).
The students sold cookies at different prices based on a customer’s race: whites were charged $2, blacks were charged $1.50, Hispanics were charged $1.00 and Natives were charged nothing – women were also given a 50-cent discount.
University students didn’t like this and tried to use force, intimidation and name-calling to get them to leave. One person reportedly tried stealing the cookies, while others called the students Nazis. As usual, the millennial college students had to resort to swearing – one woman even admitted that she was racist against whites (see 22:15).
Here is an in-depth video of the event:
Of course, if you want to see the concept of affirmative action demolished then here is legendary free market economist Thomas Sowell destroying it in two minutes:
