Coddled' Student Activists Complain There's Not Enough Time for Homework

According to a recent article in Brown University’s campus newspaper, some students are now complaining that their coursework is getting in the way of their political activism.

“There are people breaking down, dropping out of classes and failing classes because of the activism work they are taking on,” The Brown Daily Herald quoted one undergraduate student as saying.

That student was later granted deadline extensions for assignments by deans at the school, the paper reported.

How about stop engaging in activism? You're at college to learn.  :loser:

Allow enemies their space to hate; they will destroy themselves in the process.

I should try that on my boss. "I don't have enough time to do my real job because of all my other non-job related activities are taking up too much of my time. You should give me less work to do."

I'll let you all know how this works out.

"Sorry Professor, I couldn't finish my paper because I was out all night activisting..." 
"Sorry Johnny, but is says in the syllabus that all work must be in on time-"
"Really Professor?  Does it also say you're a racist?  A homophobe?  Should I not be protesting?  Where does it say that in the syllabus?  Are you trying to suppress my rights?  Who are you really professor?"

Redickolous.

Remember when college was supposed to prepare students for the real world?
