Another Blow Against Integration
At the University of Nevada, a public school in Las Vegas, integration on campus is not exactly encouraged according to a report in the College Fix. In fact, the University discourages socially mixing different groups by providing separate dorms for identity tribes, all at taxpayer expense: Howell Town for black students, Stonewall Suites for LGBT students, Tonopah housing community for women only, the Health Living floor for those who still like tofu and kale, and the Study Intensive Hall for those who plan on graduating.
Oberlin--Let's Blame the Media!
Oberlin College's student newspaper editorial board blasted national media coverage of the Gibson’s Bakery trial, saying that it “misses the mark,” and that the ruling is part of an “increasingly authoritarian country,” Campus Reform reports. The Oberlin Review’s editorial board published an editorial Wednesday, titled “Media Coverage of Gibson’s Verdict Misses the Mark,” in which it strongly criticized how national media covered the case resulting in the college being ordered to pay Gibson's Bakery $44 million.
Western Civilization = White Supremacy
New York City school administrators have been taught that pillars of Western Civilization such as objectivity, individualism, and even belief in the written word all are examples of … white supremacy, the New York Post reports.
A slide presentation obtained by the Post from the workshop “Dismantling Racism: A Workbook for Social Change” includes claims that a belief in an “ultimate truth” (objectivity) leads to a dismissal of “alternate viewpoints or emotions” as “bad” (this is straight out of the critical race theory playbook), and that emphasis on the written word overlooks the “ability to relate to others” and leads to “teaching that there is only ‘one right way’ to do something.”
Other “hallmarks” of white supremacy include a “sense of urgency,” “quantity over quality,” and “perfectionism.” Read more at The College Fix
The Civility Problem
Maybe a few courses on how to create a civil society would help America's so-called "social warriors" learn how to deal with their fellow men and women. Let's start with Amherst College in Massachusetts, where former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was scheduled to address the ongoing issue of free speech on campus. Campus Reform reports that Sessions got a dose of today's SJW tactics when a stinkbomb was set off before he went on stage. Then, a walkout was staged by a gay pride group punctuating the assault on the former A.G. Stinkbombs? What is this, 7th grade?
Studying 'Angry White Males'
The University of Kansas has approved a course called “angry white male studies,” open to all students willing to take a women’s studies course first. The course on white males will explore recent changes in demographics since the 1950s. Republican Congressman Ron Estes took a dim view, arguing that ”KU is offering a class that divides the student population and could pose a TitleIX violation by creating a hostile campus movement based on gender.”
The course will be taught by Christopher Forth, who focuses on gender, fat-shaming, and masculinity.
Erasing White Men from Politics
Believing that courses on American political thought are too fixated on white males, Professor Chad Shomura of the University of Colorado at Denver has solved the problem by banning discussion of white men in his course on the nation’s political thought. This means nothing from Washington, Jefferson, Tocqueville, Rousseau or any of the pre-Obama presidents. Discussion of the Hillary Clinton race for the presidency in 2016 is allowed, but how she managed to lose while apparently “running unopposed” is unclear.
The moral weakness within the hierarchy and priesthood is THE reason I left the catholic church. Not just me, also my mother, 2 brothers, 2 sisters and 27 of our children. Not a church of moral fortitude as is evident by this article.
You guys disappoint me. You should be on God’s side instead of the devils side. Also, don’t you know that our Constitution supports freedom of speech, which obviously your university does not. You have been seduced by far left philosophy which is against God and Country.
I am embarrassed for my alma mater. They have rally gone off track
Thank you for making a broader audience aware of this incredible set of “events”. Not being the kind of “questioning Catholic” they seem to wish to serve, I plan to be very selective as to which receive any financial support directly, from my parish or our diocese. Perhaps they can find more palatable supporters on the far Left. Perhaps the LGBT advocate community they favor will enroll and/or donate enough to keep them afloat.
Catholic colleges seem to be particularly hostile. When was the last time you saw a nun that wasn’t a leftie ?
“philosophy instructor Cheryl Abbate listed several possible topics of discussion, but said one of them –gay marriage—could not be addressed because any opposition argument would offend homosexual students, and besides society has already agreed that gays can marry.”
Let’s play find and replace.
In 1860, “philosophy instructor Cheryl Abbate listed several possible topics of discussion, but said one of them –slavery—could not be addressed because any opposition argument would offend slave owning students, and besides the Supreme Court has already stated in the Dred Scott case that giving African Americans standing in American courts, would result in giving ” to persons of the negro race, …the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, …to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased …the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went” which of course would be disastrous.
There’s double irony here — flipping the argument around and also the substance of the decision in Scott vs Sanford was predicated in part on preventing political speech and freedom of association
So Catholic doctrine is now excluded from discussion at a Catholic university. And instructors who dare to say so are rendered persona non grata for it.
I sense that the typical American “Catholic institution” is no longer hospitable toward Catholics or Catholicism…and I wonder to what extent that effect will overtake Catholic parishes nationwide.
Is there some kind of fund or crowdsource to help sue the school’s little panties off?
Even the Devil deserves an Advocate.
