    Barmy. I loved this bit:<br><br>
    more than 1,300 Oberlin students signed a petition calling on the college to make “C” the lowest possible grade such that no student would be deemed “below average.” <br><br>
    I'm assuming none of the 1300 students were maths majors.

    <p>With all due respect you need to research the topic more. They are very much of the left side of the political spectrum., Even the liberal left admit that are getting annoyed. The liberal left have started referring to them as the regressive left.</p>

    <p>What BSG said, I can't imagine right leaning people demanding safe spaces and bleating about microaggressions. Agree entitlement crosses all political boundaries though,you only need to look at the recent rape case thats dominating the headlines and the affluenza cretin</p>

    <p>I think either side can be pretty demanding. The difference is the whiny leftists will cry "You can't do that to me! I'm a victim!" while the shouty right will say "You can't do that to me! I'll show you!"</p>

    <p>I am not sure anyone is arguing that any human cannot be demanding. It is the type and genesis of the demands that are the issue, Gandhi demanded things, so did Hitler, they were both demanding. But the methods and demands were the difference.</p>

    As a leftie, their demands would be laughable if they weren't so infuriating.
