Neil Cavuto Repeatedly Confronts Student Pushing Free College Plan With Harsh Facts, Figures During Cringeworthy 9-Minute Interview

 

 

Keely Mullen, an organizer for the Million Student March movement, joined Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto on the air Thursday to discuss the movement’s demands for free public college, student debt cancelation and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for student workers. In the awkward 9-minute interview, Cavuto repeatedly cited facts and figures that seemed to fluster the student.

 

When asked who would pick up the tab for the demands she listed, Mullen said, “The 1 percent of people who are hoarding the wealth and causing a catastrophe students are facing.”

 

“How much more do you think they should pay?”

 

Cavuto’s question, asked within the first two minutes of the interview, became the centerpiece of the entire discussion, as Mullen was unable to provide a clear answer.

This is worth watching.

 

Her parents have to be proud of that education and learning she received.

@Pepper posted that on a thread about this college crap. Really reaching a new low in "protests" and people allowed to even be in college.

Snowflakes or Fascists?
Mona Charen
Nov. 13, 2015

There was a much-beloved quote circulated among leftists, often attributed to Sinclair Lewis, that "when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." In light of recent episodes of mob action on American campuses, the quote needs updating: When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in "diversity" and demanding "safe spaces."

Demand is the key word. It marks the essential authoritarianism at work here. At the University of Missouri, students "demanded" that (now-former) university President Tim Wolfe write a "handwritten" letter of apology acknowledging his "white, male privilege." Among his alleged sins was apparently not doing enough to shield so-called "marginalized students" from feeling upset after a black criminal, Michael Brown, was killed by the police officer he had assaulted. Another sin was driving away when a mob surrounded Wolfe's car at homecoming festivities. Wolfe has since apologized, groveled ("my apology is long overdue") and resigned. Good riddance.

Events at the University of Missouri were a perfect American storm: the confluence of fascistic student and faculty behavior, viral rumors of white racism and the almighty dollar. That's right, the dollar, because as an American university administrator, you can offend every principle enshrined in the Bible and the U.S. Constitution, you can make a mockery of higher education by offering courses on Martha Stewart's whiteness or "Fifty Shades of Gray," but don't mess with the football team. That's where the real power resides. When the black football players threatened to boycott this weekend's game against Brigham Young, the university president had to go.

There has been some tut-tutting, even among liberals, about modern university students' hypersensitivity. But let's not kid ourselves — though it is couched in the language of safety, what these little snowflakes want is repression. Brenda Smith-Lezama, for example, is vice president of the Missouri Students Association. Asked about efforts on the Missouri campus to "muscle" student journalists away from a public event, she offered a view that would make Castro proud: "I personally am tired of hearing that First Amendment rights protect students when they are creating a hostile and unsafe learning environment for myself and for other students here," she told MSNBC.

If I could remind people of something in Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism, Fascism was a youth movement, from The Streets & The Universities.
