Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
This is a great example of your straw man logic. Topic: Why is the younger generation less tolerant? The rest of the responses: Give reasons they see or believe lead to this, mostly staying out politics (talking about parenting, social media, etc.) Texas Fight: It's actually the professor who is not willing to have her speech suppressed by the government that is wrong!!

If it wasn't for the damn whistler, making a trip to see the Vandy Series would be fun.

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
Your stance is just flat out wrong. I read the article. I summarized it. My summary was correct. Now, you are twisting that into an "inflammatory summary of the situation" when all of the information you've been provided shows that the summary was in fact correct. And the only reason you find it to be inflammatory is because of made up reasons like "this is kiddie lit there's no need to discuss gender" when the syllabus that was posted shows that the class was intended to have a review of gender in the course, and the stated reason for firing was discussing gender. If the summary of these facts is "inflammatory," it's because of your opinion of the facts. Which is fine, have your own opinion. Also, LOL to your "summary" of my OP calling out a "generation of the population for some mental issue" when I literally started the thread comparing Gen-Z to Karens. I'm pretty sure being a Karen is not a "mental issue" (other than being entitled, but I don't think you'll find that as a diagnosis in the DSM).

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
I am stating accurately what happened, from the article: So what part of what I wrote is inconsistent with this? Read that, along with the quoted section in the first post where the student complained that the professor was "teaching that there are more than two genders." The professor is apparently going to be disciplined, and the Dean has been fired, for not toeing the line that transgender people don't/should not exist. Is your critique that I typed "LGBT" instead of "transgender" in my initial post? If so, stop being a pedant and maybe try to actually engage in a conversation. Again, my question is what has changed in the last generation that the typically more tolerant generation is the one being the thought police?

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
True. Although I’m dating myself, I was in undergrad during the Bush II years and I remember a lot of neocons speaking on campus to some fanfare/protests, but no one was trying to get anyone fired for allowing it. Stufents shouting down Ann Coulter comes to mind. Protests about the content of the speaker’s ideals? Sure. Trying to fire the college dean for allowing the speaker? Not so much.

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
I read this article on the Texas Tribune about an A&M Dean getting fired for not forcing a professor to toe the line and allowing her to teach that LGBT people exist. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/texas-am-video-professor-student-gender-identity-content/ Putting aside the politics of it, my main take away is that this is because some 18-22 year old undergrad got his or her or their (see what I did there?) feels hurt. I kind of expect this from the older generation. But Gen Z? Being so butt hurt that someone expressed a differnt worldview that they film it and post it online and actively try to get other professor fired? That was surprising to me. Very Karen-esque energy.

You do realize that Texas players have a tradition (at least going back 2-3 seasons with JBrooks, maybe longer) of a player that is held out for injury of wearing all of their teammates chains on the sidelines, right?

This switchover to ESPN Unlimited is frustrating for me. Usually I just sign up for YouTubeTV during the football season, but all I really use it for is for football season. And it's close to/over $100 a month for that. So $30+tax a month was a price I'm willing to pay. My wife was convinced to switch to Verizon managing our Disney (Disney+/Hulu/ESPN) subscription last year, and apparently whatever bundle that is doesn't even have an option for ESPN Unlimited (it's only ESPN+, now ESPN select). However, because that is linked to my username, I can't even seem to get a standalone ESPN Unlimited subscription through ESPN/Disney. I went ahead and canceled through Verizon, but since it's paid ahead, it's still "active" through September 2nd. I also have Spectrum internet, and I was able to allegedly subscribe to ESPN Unlimited through them, and was charged for it, and allegedly have a valid subscription, but I still cannot log in and watch anything on any app or device. Disney+ is no help (there's literally not a way to talk to or chat with anyone about this), and Spectrum hasn't been able to figure it out yet. I'm trying to work it out, so that it's all working before the before the Ohio State game next Saturday, but it's frustrating to say the least.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Answering my own question, it appears related - the Target shooting was a carjacking. This seems to be the location where the suspect was apprehended.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Is this separate from the Target shooter? It seems like it would be since this is not near Ohlen road.

I know a poster's wife was the victim of an armed robbery in the parking lot a few years back (probably more than a few, probably on TOS).
