The Dartmouth Tin Man
Dartmouth University is that Ivy League college in New Hampshire where its gay, transgender students and students of color are all victims and feeling marginalized these days. So much so that they presented an outrageous list of demands to their jellyfish president, Phil Hanlon, and threatened some sort of physical action if said demands were not met. This week, they occupied the president's office.

No, they weren't removed by campus police, or whatever they call the potted plants who stand around in uniform and collect pay checks at Dartmouth. Hardly. It seems the uniformed potted plants secured the outside of the building only allowing in pizza delivery men.
"Officers from campus security also supplied power strips so that protesters could charge their laptops and complete homework assignments."
"Terms such as “dialogue,” are “racialized and white, gendered and masculine,” she told The Dartmouth, the official student newspaper. Asking for a conversation, she said, was a tantamount to dismissal."
That's what your kids are learning in college, Folks
According to the Dartmouth campus paper, the occupation has ended. I guess the little rascals had their fill of pizza and missed Mommie's home cooking and a soft warm bed.
