I have to chuckle at the relationship between University of California President Janet Napolitano and the students in the UC system. Her visit to UC Berkeley last week is an example. I took her to task because as she was strolling around the campus (or was she being spirited from one undisclosed location to another?) a bunch of condom-celebrators were cavorting around masquerading as giant penises while school kids from local area school where being guided around and exposed to all the nonsense. Apparently, some "undocumented students of color" were offended because she didn't meet with them.
Now comes this letter from Napolitano to the UCB campus paper, The Daily Californian, complaining about the complaining.

To me, this is one big food fight going on. Some students object to Napolitano because she was head of DHS and apparently, some illegal aliens were deported under her watch. Fancy that! They are also upset that there is no Dream Act and that some (unknown) number of "undocumented" students at UC are "studying in the shadows".
And of course, we know that Big Sis does not take criticism well, as I learned a couple of years back at UCLA when I was guilty of rolling my eyes at one of her patented non-answers.

The spoiled students at Berkeley should wake up and smell the coffee. They have one of their own as UC President. If she could, Napolitano would open the gates to every "undocumented" person of college age she could while the California tax-payers foot the bill. If it were up to her, the Underwear Bomber would be sitting in some UC engineering classroom right now on a study-release program so she could claim that the system worked perfectly.
I just wish UC had a president who would pay attention to all the nonsense that is going on at her campuses in the guise of education. God knows her predecessor didn't, and she won't either.
