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.
I think I may have worked out why the 82nd Avenue parade was canceled. Antifa threatened to attack the Republicans on the parade. Oregon Republicans are armed. They would have killed some of the Antifa – legally – and the organizers decided to avoid that.
“There is nothing wrong with your television set, your universities, your Kafkaesque State, or this the New Inquisition. Everything is as it should be.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the foreseeable future, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. Eventually we will control what you think.
We repeat: there is nothing wrong with anything. You are already participating in a brave new world. You are already experiencing the Totality which is Social Justice, Full Inclusion, Complete Diversity, and an End to All Wrong Thought. Welcome to THE YEAR when everybody was finally equal.
“They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213 th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General. ”
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
It’s actually far worse than even this — it’s an attempt to bully the majority into excluding a minority group. The message is clear — exclude the minority group for the greater good of the majority — or the majority will be harmed.
The question I ask is what would happen if the Klan (which doesn’t particularly like Black people) were to demand a “White-only” parade? What if the KKK were to threaten violence unless parade sponsors “saw the wisdom” of excluding their Black friends from the event?
Or if there were a demand to exclude Jews, or Catholics, or Pipefitters, or Left-Handed Lesbians — or anyone else… This is terrorism, and it needs to be dealt with as such!!! Why are we tolerating this?
The parade sponsors did the right thing — a month earlier, in South Boston, the folks there didn’t. You don’t threaten the physical safety of women & children, which is what the thugs did.
Why are we tolerating this?
