Aren't there enough bad things to protest these days? Yes, but those topics require actual, you know, knowledge of current affairs. To avoid having to learn about those things, college students at the University of Cincinnati recently decided to launch a silent protest over the "state of the nation." The News Record reports on this ambiguous protest:

The protest was not targeted toward a specific issue or stance, but rather toward the state of the nation and acts of racism, sexism, xenophobia and other forms of bigotry perpetrated by President Trump’s administration and his supporters since the election.

That's easier, I guess, than having to crack a newspaper and learn about the horrible things Trump has done.

“The idea of a silent protest was to take up space and force people to witness our experiences without creating room for debate or differing opinions,” said Anahita Sharma, a fourth year liberal arts student.

While debate can be helpful and constructive, there is a time and place for it, and sometimes it is inappropriate, according to [first-year psychology and political science student Mashal] Ahmed.

Ahmed was also critical of the Delta Tau Delta, a fraternity that was tabling on the other side of MainStreet.

While the fraternity had most likely not planned for the activists to be there, it was disrespectful for them to play pop music over the demonstration, said Ahmed.

“When people are expressing their hurt and pain, it's not the place to do so because you are essentially telling them that they are not validated in their feelings,” said Ahmed. “It's not easy when holding protests to express that to people passing by."

Okaaayyy... So the protestor said he wanted to protest "without creating room for debate or differing opinions," which is about the least American thing ever...  but perhaps they're too busy looking angry at whatev to read the First Amendment. The College Fix sums it up best:

Basically, you could think of this as your all-too typical college whine fest.

PJ Media agrees:

The group didn't have anything specific to protest, perhaps because they're going to the University of Cincinnati, where they can afford the in-state tuition of only $28,002 per year. That's still half the median income in the United States annually, so most can't afford it -- a clear sign they're oh-so-oppressed.

Agreed.  However, I'm 100% supportive of annoying college liberals taking a vow of silence.  Can we get them all to sign onto that?
