Tree Huggers At $63,550-Per-Year College SHOCKED To Learn They Can Be Punished For Breaking Rules

Swarthmore College — a fancypants, politically-correct hothouse bursting at the seams with wealthy white kids — has announced that it may punish five students for their role in a four-hour takeover of an administrative office last month.

The students facing the prospect of punishment for breaking school rules have reacted with disappointment and confusion.

The demonstrating students are part of Swarthmore’s Mountain Justice group, a campus organization which is perpetually demanding that Swarthmore’s trustees sell all the fossil-fuel stocks in the school’s luxurious $1.9 billion endowment portfolio.

The latest divestment protest occurred on Swarthmore’s campus on Feb. 24, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.

About 80 students joined the four-hour sit-in at the office of Mark C. Amstutz, the chief investment officer at the Quaker-founded liberal arts bastion in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

A hardcore group of about two dozen students later held a “die-in” outside another academic building where Swarthmore’s trustees were meeting.

The protesting students then resumed their normal lives — consuming gobs of electricity, going places in automobiles, that kind of thing.

Then, on March 17, Swarthmore’s administration sent disciplinary citations to five of the students. The quintet of protesters now faces punishments ranging from a mere warning to possible probation.

There was some big Virtue-Signaling going on there.

And you know what happens when you screw up the signals....you get run over by a bus.

“Look at me! Look at me! I’m a really good person!”

Fine.

Then help everyone else out and go to the park and pick up dog crap.

That’s real help.

What sort of degree do they come out with? Classical Studies? Twelfth Century Tibetan Poetry? Ah, a degree in interpreting Cicero.

Swarthmore has a rich tradition of student activism, from anti-war sit-ins in the President’s office during the 1960s

They just can't let go of the 60s.
