Columbia Student Claims To Be Traumatized By Reading About White People November 20, 2015 by Nancy French Do you feel like the lunatics are running the asylums of higher education these days? Recently, Missouri students forced a President to resign to show they had power over the administration. Then, at Dartmouth, #BlackLivesMatter protestors berated white students studying in a library, yelling “F— you, you f—-s.” (School officials apologized… to the protestors.) The Daily Caller has the most recent issue to arise, this time at Columbia: A student at Columbia University is urging the school to inject more diversity into its required courses, claiming she suffered severe emotional trauma from reading too many books by and about white people. Columbia students and faculty gathered Wednesday night for a panel discussion on “Race, Ethnicity, and University Life.” According to the Columbia Daily Spectator, much of the commentary revolved around the idea that minorities on campus simply spend too much time being traumatized by the white-centric content of their classes. One of the panelists at the event was black Columbia student Nissy Aya. Aya was supposed to graduate in 2014, but instead is only on track to receive her degree in 2016. That, Aya says, demonstrates “how hard it has been for me to get through this institution…” Apparently, she was traumatized by reading such works as those by Shakespeare. The Daily Caller said that she specifically had a problem with the curriculum requirement that has students “take a series of six classes with a focus on the culture and history of Western, European civilization. Aya says this focus on the West was highly mentally stressful for her.” patheos.com
