Making a safer and more inclusive community by making your neighbor scared to do or say the wrong thing... They are very serious about stamping out any unintentional slights or uncomfortable feelings.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Anyway, the "tumblr" generation is a small minority even within its own generation (they've always been around really, like redpill - but tech has given them a platform to be more visible). Polls from 2014 show 18-24 year olds actually shifting sharply Republican.

Yeah, all the fears about them eventually taking over are overstated. However, the problem is they're loud and aggressive enough to seem like a majority and cow institutions to their will, regardless of their actual small numbers.

The SGA members are elected by the student body to represent them.  Only of them voted against this. That is concerning.

To be fair, this is how deliberative bodies tend to work, particularly ones that are neither high-profile nor highly polarized. Most people will default to the principle of social proof when they lack another reference point.

Good point. Still, it is worrying.

I'm guessing no more than 15 percent of the student body voted for this assembly to represent them. And for those who did vote, the political ideology of candidates doesn't tend to play a huge role in student government elections.

maybe those who run for SGA are disproportionately clueless?  I don't know.
