In a recent post titled All We Are Saying is Give Entitlements a chance I wrote about the little, privileged college brats who are demanding an even freer education than the one taxpayers are already giving them:
Tell me something, why do we listen to 20 year olds? What could they possibly know about life after just 2 years of adulthood?
What these kids need is what any child needs who has a tantrum when he doesn’t get his way: A good old-fashioned spanking.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Well, the spanking didn’t work. This is from yesterday’s New York Times:
Twenty-six students were arrested at San Francisco State University before dawn on Thursday after some students barricaded themselves inside a building to protest budget cuts and tuition increases across the state’s public university system.
“The doors were locked with chains from the inside so police broke through a window to get in,” a university spokeswoman, Ellen Griffin, said. “We’re approaching final exams and the end of the semester, and as many as 3,200 students have classes in that building.”
On Wednesday, classes in the building were canceled after the occupation began.
Along with indignation over budget cuts, a blog listing the protesters’ demands included forgiveness of all student loans and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. With demands far beyond the purview of school administrators, negotiations with the students was nearly impossible, Ms. Griffin said.
Make no mistake about it, we live in an entitlement culture. I wonder who is responsible for that?
