Berklee College of Music apologizes

[Urbane]

Berklee College of Music says it is “deeply sorry” for letting Boston police officers use the school’s toilets, following protests over the death of George Floyd.

Berklee College of Music has apologised for allowing Boston police to use the school’s toilets, following protests on 31 May.

Berklee President Roger Brown, who is stepping down from his post at the Boston music school next year, said in a statement to the school community that allowing the officers inside had stirred up “feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalisation.”

“Let me be clear,” he wrote. “This should not have happened, and going forward, it will not happen again.”

Since when did allowing police to use washrooms for normal bodily functions lead to feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalisation? What a bunch of horse pucky.

Hopefully some of the donors pull their funding and tell the college to stick it where the sun don't shine.

.... had stirred up “feelings of oppression, silencing, and marginalisation.”

This is clearly the result of parents helicoptering their children.
So many children have been catered to, protected, told they were fragile, unique and were constantly being hovered over by their parents.

And now we have an entire generation of fragile snowflakes.

And the schools are just as guilty as the parents for caving into these overprotected children.

Yes but do their lives matter, and if so, how. Seems like maybe the lives of snowflakes don't matter so much.

This comment, on a CBS News site, is typical of the comments that I'm seeing:

Apologize for letting the police use the bathrooms? These are the people who risk their own lives to protect you, you idiots.

The response of the college is disgusting. I hope the police refuse to come next time the college needs them.

I feel sorry for Dementia Joe Biden. He's the poor sap who has to defend these lunatics. What a thankless job.

I can confidently say that the Berklee school of music is very merit based. It’s the best of the best.
I see what they are doing since it doesn’t take much to notice lives instantly ruined for "bad behaviour" during this time (Jessica Mulroney, various business people, politicians etc).

While this is different because it was an allowed activity, and one that defers to basic human needs (using a bathroom), people in those situations need to realize there is a microscope on them at all times. And a video camera. And a person doing a screen capture.
At all times.
