The Insanity That Roams Our Colleges

Yesterday Breitbart posted an article about Edith Macias, an Ethnic Studies major at the University of California Riverside who stole a man’s “Make America Great Again” hat.

The article reports some of Ms. Macias’ comments:

The alleged thief, Ethnic Studies major Edith Macias, accuses the student of endorsing “genocide” by owning the hat. “So this guy thought it would be a good idea to go into a conference wearing this f***ing hat,” the student says in the video. “Look at the kind of sh*t he’s wearing, You know what this represents? This represents genocide—genocide of a bunch of people.”

“Do you have any f***ing conscience?” she continues, before adding that “f***ing freedom of speech is genocide, homeboy.”

“I swear to God I could burn this sh*t. I swear to God I could burn this sh*t,” she adds.

“Are you people not going to do anything? She is stealing my property,” Vitale says, as university staff looks on silently.

“We will need to return his property to him, but we can talk about…” one university employee eventually interjects.

“How about we talk about not letting him wear this sh*t on campus?” Macias says.

“The fact that you people haven’t gotten this back for me is sad and wrong,” Vitale says at one point.

“Oh my God, you’re going to keep letting him wear it?” Macias says. “That just shows how the f— UCR is and the education system. It’s geared to benefit white people, white people, not me.”

This is frightening. First of all, she is an Ethnic Studies major. How does one turn that into a marketable skill after graduation? Second of all, in what universe is Donald Trump connected to genocide? The man has won awards for helping minorities succeed (but that was before he was a Republican and became President). Does she realize that President Trump’s Cabinet includes minorities?

Where did she get her information? Do her comments reflect what she is being taught in school? Is there any truth or logic to anything she is saying?

This is a whole new level of insanity from our college campuses.
