Ted Cruz calls out ‘pampered teenagers’ on college campuses – and their parents

‘We shouldn’t be raising a generation of young people that are so pampered that they never have heard anything that offends them’


The College Fix  "Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz didn’t hold back when asked recently about the special snowflakes demanding speech they disagree with be squashed.
"In an interview with Adam Carolla, he called whiny students “pampered teenagers,” and said they do not have a right not to be offended.
. . . 
“ 'Listen, was Woodrow Wilson an unabashed racist? Yes. Should we talk about that? Should we condemn it? Yes,” Cruz said. “But we shouldn’t be engaged in this bizarre process of erasing our history because it offends our ears. And I think this is something that the media pushes but I do think that the American people are fed up with. There is a reservoir of common sense that realizes this is dumb.' ”


"British universities have become too politically correct and are stifling free speech by banning anything that causes the least offence to anyone, academics argue."
