Default Alumni cancel donations over social justice warrior protests

The social justice warriors making noise on campus are also making an
impact on alumni. The NY Times reports some older, successful alumni
are pulling back on donations because they are so turned off with what
they see happening on their former campuses:

Makes sense. Many college liberals become conservative once they are in
the real world. The present weenie generation has gone too far and
everyone is offended by something.

New regulations if you get cut off by another motorist: Would you
please sign this consent form so that I may call you an asshole?

When I was a graduate student, a fellow graduate student returning from
industry to get an advanced degree told me my politics would change once
I got out of school and started working full time.

He was absolutely right.

Young people are supposed to be Liberal, that's their job and a larval form of Conservative. Being a Conservative is something one grows into and I don't trust young Conservatives because they set off my weasel detector. ^_^

And they will continue to evolve as you age and they are influenced more
and more by your own experiences and observations rather than by the
indoctrination received in youth.

“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a
conservative at forty you have no brain.”


Winston Churchill quotes (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister
during World War II. 1874-1965)

Personally I am not making alumni donations because Shirley Ann Jackson
is the highest paid private college president in the country. They don't
need my pennies.
