Nanker Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I was listening to a band's (Lotus) performance at some festival earlier this month. One of the band members was addressing the crowd before they played and opened with this "Can you please put down the Trump sign. It's very disturbing" I was certain he was going to say distracting which itself is a stretch. But disturbing? There's no crying in Rock and Roll!!! They're so tolerant. If it was a picture of Che Guevara, Mao, Stalin, Tojo, or Pol Pot they wouldn't have a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 IT’S NOT JUST EMORY: This is from Harvard: In a class I attended earlier this semester, a large portion of the first meeting was devoted to compiling a list of rules for class discussion. A student contended that as a woman, she would be unable to sit across from a student who declared that he was strongly against abortion, and the other students in the seminar vigorously defended this declaration. The professor remained silent. In a recent conversation with peers, I posed a question about a verse from the Bible. A Harvard employee in the room immediately interjected, informing me that we were in a safe space and I was thus not permitted to discuss the controversial biblical passage. And these are just stories from the past three months. Cost of attending Harvard College: $64,400 per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then a friend of hers posted this irony dripping gem: The confusion with ignorance for free speech by some old people who aren't using their brains. If you continue to do thoughtless insensitive things we reserve the right to let you know it. I think the younger generation has been more creative and successful in their use of social media to combat people who waste their creativity on negativity. It sure beats what the 60's generation was doing. Edited March 29, 2016 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 http://www.dailywire.com/news/4465/cultural-appropriation-black-female-accosts-white-robert-kraychik In a video published on Monday, a black female said to be a campus employee accosts a white male said to be a student at San Francisco State University out of hostility to the “cultural appropriation” of his dreadlock hairstyle. “You’re saying I can’t have a hairstyle, because of your culture? Why?” asks the white male, who appears to be wearing a dress. “Because it’s my culture,” responds the black female. ...snip... As the white male attempts to leave up a staircase, the black female grabs his left arm sleeve. Giving in to the pull, the white male demands to be left alone as he descends back to the main floor.

I'd also like to point out that the university system is part of Western European culture that she's appropriating, and by her own argument she should go back to the cattle farming of her Bantu ancestors (and wear a more culturally appropriate east African hairstyle than appropriate one from the culture of poodles that lick electrical sockets.)

She said, “You can have whatever opinions you want but I can tell you right now, in this class homophobic comments, racist comments, and sexist comments will not be tolerated.” And then she told the student he should drop the class. On this very popular blog, Professor McAdams outed the incident and charged the teaching assistant with “using a tactic typical among liberals now. Opinions with which they disagree are not merely wrong, and are not to be argued against on their merits, but are deemed ‘offensive’ and need to be shut up.” A firestorm ensued that pitted the academic freedom of McAdams against the leftist pieties of the officially “Catholic” institution. The teaching assistant is said to have gotten mean emails, though she was hailed as a liberal hero and went on to a tenure track position at another university. McAdams was brought up on charges. It was announced this week that a “diverse” faculty committee recommended to the university president that McAdams be suspended without pay from April 1 through the fall of 2016 and that he lose his job unless he admits “guilt” and apologized “within the next two weeks.” Specifically, the demand is “Your acknowledgement that your November 9, 2014, blog post was reckless and incompatible with the mission and values of Marquette University and you express deep regret for the harm suffered by our former graduate student and instructor, Ms. Abbate.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Regarding the Marquette situation that TYTT referenced earlier. George Orwell Call Your Office: Marquette Demands Ritual Apology From Embattled Professor There’s nothing like a good show trial to build confidence in the academy’s commitment to academic freedom. Marquette University is demanding that embattled professor John McAdams apologize for criticizing a colleague as a condition for keeping his job. And what outrage did McAdams commit? He tried to protect the academic freedom and free speech of conservative students: On November 2014, McAdams, a tenured associate professor of political science, posted an entry on his Marquette Warrior blog describing a recorded conversation between an undergraduate student and the instructor for his “Theory of Ethics” philosophy course. The instructor, Cheryl Abbate, was recorded telling the student that the expression of certain opinions in class was inappropriate because those opinions may be considered offensive to other listeners. Abbate specifically cited the student’s stated opposition to same-sex marriage as a problem. Abbate’s actions were criticized by readers of McAdams’ blog entry, and her alleged actions received widespread attention from national media. In response, Richard C. Holz, dean of Marquette’s Klingler College of Arts and Sciences, suspended McAdams . You read that correctly. Rather than discipline the instructor who silenced a conservative student, the university suspended the whistleblower. Now it’s reportedly extending the suspension through the fall 2016 semester and demanding that he apologize as a condition of returning to work. My former colleagues at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) are right to label the forced apology “an age-old inquisitorial tactic used to violate freedom of conscience through compelled speech.” McAdams — to his immense credit — is not backing down. Here’s his response: The addition of a demand that we abase ourself and issue an apology and sign a loyalty oath to vaguely defined “guiding values” and to the University’s “mission” is obviously a ploy by Marquette to give the administration an excuse to fire us. They have calculated, correctly, that we will do no such thing. I would say that it’s astonishing that a Catholic university punish a professor for defending the right of students to advocate the church’s teaching on marriage, but politically correct nonsense is par for the course even (especially) at many religious colleges. McAdams should be applauded — and supported — for his lonely, courageous stand. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/433430/george-orwell-call-your-office-marquette-demands-ritual-apology-embattled-professor Edited March 30, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something just seems kind of fishy... For example, I COULD see the university taking this action if the discipline is for something like 'outing' a colleague on the basis of an illegally recorded conversation. I'll point out that I don't really know what the actual stated *reason* from the university is for the discipline, but that I could understand the action if my 'scenario' was the reason.
