The Virginia Tech was not a nerd, but a plain-out psycho. He wrote plays so sick that he was removed from his class and taught one-on-one by his English teacher, as told by the CNN. What an utter bullshit.

As the story goes, the teacher informed the University administration, but they said the dude was protected by the first amendment. Nonsense, they just did not want to deal with it. He was not writing it elsewhere, he was writing this as a class assignment. Class assignments are graded. Why couldn't he collect D's in his courses and drop out?

Instead, she went for the trouble teaching him one-on-one, so that other students would not get terrified by his crap. He'd sit there in sunglasses and give her one-word answers. What is this some fucking kindergarten? If the student refuses to perform, is not learning and his presence in the classroom does not benefit anyone else, that student moves on to try himself elsewhere, perhaps with greater success. That's what's called a college dropout.

Why did they keep him? That's because the college system has been completely pussified. The faculty are pussies, the students are pussies and of them biggest pussies and the engine of it all are student's baby-boomer parents.

Faculty are supposed to represent school's academic and moral backbone. Imagine a University in which each professor has a "veto" right - he or she can expunge a student from the school, with no cause, once in his or her carrier. Or make it once in a decade. Or add the condition that that professor must have had that student in his/her class. Now imagine that was your school. Puking already? That's because you a total pussy, as well. With all and any explicit and implicit limitations (peer pressure first of all), this would mean that students have to have some self control, and the sole thought of that is unbearable.

Similarly irresponsible was the administration, not ready to deal with the problem and hence not ready to be held responsible for its decisions. Similarly the professor, with all my condolences, was simply doing a sort of damage control and trying to just get this guy through, quite unsuccessfully.

C'mon, admitting a mentally ill person to a university is the same as taking a physically disabled person on a sports team. Utter nonsense, that is. That's what "dis-ability" means. You can certainly be a fulfilled individual, but you are not able to do just any activity. For example, epileptics should not play certain computer games or risk severe attacks.
