College Promises to Punish Students Who Heckled Mandatory Play
11th September 2015
A liberal arts college in North Carolina is pledging to identify and potentially punish students who heckled a play about sexual assault the college forced them to attend.
“It Stops Here,” an original play produced by students at Greensboro College, was first performed last Wednesday before a crowd of students, but the performance didn’t go as planned. According to people at the play, members of the audience frequently heckled the cast and shouted sexually explicit remarks.
Well, who let those jerks in, anyway?
Notably, though, the hecklers do not appear to have been invading the performance to disrupt it. Rather, attendance at the play was mandatory for all incoming freshmen at Greensboro, as well as for some older student-athletes who were required to attend by coaches.
Well, there it is. Had I been forced to attend that play, I would have been even more obnoxious than that. I have, after all, many decades of experience on those puny college boy amateurs.
I guess they take ‘liberal arts’ pretty seriously in North Carolina.
