Let's hope this doesn't catch on over here?
Has the whole #RhodesMustFall thing passed you by?

When we were kids
we had no way of making our mark upon the world - unless we were extremely skilled or talented or lucky. Consequently, it wasn't anything we were bothered about.
Now, its seems, everybody wants attention and, even more worryingly, victimhood. I blame the Internets.

I blame the educational establishment.
They teach every kid that they are special, that their opinion is valid, relevant and that they are entitled to be listened to. They are told that their self esteem is everyone's responsibility and that they have the right not to be offended. It's not like I think we should be mean to kids or anything, but telling them to shut the fuck up and not be a cry baby every once in a while really is important.

I think parents are are more responsible than schools.
Also, everyone IS special, their opinion is valid, relevant and they are entitled to be listened to.
As long as they are also taught that the existence of 6 billion other people means they have to play nice and share.

Their opinion is only valid if they can reasonably argue in favour of it rather than just shout "FREE SPEECH!" at people that have a contrary view.
