I remember that and it was the penultimate of PC anti-racism hysteria.

OK, it wasn't racist, but regardless, you must resign because it was mistaken for a racial insult.

The quasi-intellectual egoism is brutal.

Is there a Master Bates at Yale?

As the story talks about, it seems clear that Master Bates has many student Aides.
 
Who cares what any college student thinks? Or any kid under the age of 26 regardless of college or not. If you can stay on Mommy and Daddy's insurance until you are 26, you have no opinion. I told my daughter the same thing. She graduated, got a job, and her own insurance. I told her she is now allowed to have an opinion that I may actually consider.

She just rolls her eyes.

This has nothing to do with intellectualism. This is about people looking for things to be butt hurt and offended over. It's like there's a cottage industry for folks who are offended. Are they offended by the term master craftsman or master electrician? Are that Mister is a derivative of Master? If this was about imparting knowledge the administration of the university would tell the students to sit down and shut up because master is simply a title given to the person with authority.
 
From the comments of the article.


"...we find free speech under assault throughout the United States, including on some college campuses. The notion of political correctness has ignited controversy across the land. And although the movement arises from the laudable desire to sweep away the debris of racism and sexism and hatred, it replaces old prejudice with new ones. It declares certain topics off-limits, certain expression off-limits, even certain gestures off-limits. What began as a crusade for civility has soured into a cause of conflict and even censorship. Disputants treat sheer force -- getting their foes punished or expelled, for instance -- as a substitute for the power of ideas.

Throughout history, attempts to micromanage casual conversation have only incited distrust. They have invited people to look for an insult in every word, gesture, action. And in their own Orwellian way, crusades that demand correct behavior crush diversity in the name of diversity." -George H.W. Bush

University Urges Using 'Gender Neutral' Pronouns

The University of Tennessee has asked students and faculty to begin using so-called gender neutral pronouns in the belief it will create a more "inclusive" campus.

"Ze, hir, hirs, and xe, xem, xyr" are gender-neutral singular versions of pronouns.

The university's Office for Diversity and Inclusion claims the language "alleviates a heavy burden for people expressing different genders or identities," according to TV Station WATE.

"We should not assume someone's gender by their appearance, nor by what is listed on a roster or in student information systems," Donna Braquet, director of the University of Tennessee's Pride Center, told WATE.

There's no indoctrination going on in our schools...

University Teaches Students That White People Can’t Be Oppressed

An instructional guide apparently in use at Northeastern University in Boston is teaching the school’s residential assistants that it is impossible for white people or men to be oppressed.

“In order to have the experience of being oppressed one must belong to an oppressed category,” the guide, titled “The Umbrella of Oppression,” says. “Men cannot be oppressed as men, just as whites cannot be oppressed as whites.”

The guide was posted to the university’s Resident Assistant Resource Link portal, and was revealed to the wider public when a screenshot of it was posted to the popular news aggregator Reddit on its TumblrInAction page.

No, there's no indoctrination going on in our American Universities...

Back to School: Let the left-wing indoctrination begin

It’s no secret that our nation’s public universities want to transform American young people into a bunch of hyper-sensitive, intellectually-neutered cream puffs.

But now – they’re trying to deconstruct gender identity by parsing pronouns.

Across the fruited plain, institutions of higher education are turning their taxpayer-funded fiefdoms into gender neutral zones where free thought is outlawed. I’ve got several incidents to share with you – so pour yourself a glass of iced tea and prepare to be dumbfounded.

Consider what happened to Moriah DeMartino, a 21-year-old conservative student at Maryland’s Hagerstown Community College.

College officials turned down her request to establish a campus chapter of Turning Point USA, one of the nation’s most influential student non-partisan conservative organizations. Instead, the college suggested she join the political science club.

“I have determined that both Republicans and Democrats, as well as any other political parties, are able to be fairly represented as members of the currently existing club, without the creation of any additional clubs,” Dean of Student Affairs Jessica Chambers told Campus Reform.

Chambers touted the political science club as a “non-partisan, but inclusive” group that exposes students to “the principles of political science in a true objective manner with respect to all student rights.”

But Miss DeMartino tells me the advisor of the club is an “extremely liberal professor.”

“He’s the man I approached about my club and he instantly shut me down,” she said. “I’m really frustrated right now and I’m really upset.”

For the record, the college does maintain clubs for women’s rights and LGBT students – but not conservatives. No surprise, said Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk.

“More times than not administrators and deans are using their positions of power to block conservative viewpoints on campus,” Kirk told me. “We have seen this time and time again. Administrators have been trying to silence the conservative point of view.”

But when it comes to imposing draconian liberal ideology on students, no one can come close to Washington State University.

Campus Reform reports a number of students have told students they will be punished if they use words like “illegal alien,” “male,” “and “female.”

It’s a good thing I didn’t attend Washington State University. I would’ve flunked out during roll call.

The syllabus for a “Women & Pop Culture” class warned students that using any “oppressive and hateful language” could result in a failing grade.

Oh yeah, the professor has a problem with white folks, too.

“Students will come to recognize how white privilege functions in every day social structures and institutions,” the syllabus outlined.

Another professor told white students they are expected to “defer” to non-white students. That’s just a fancy way of telling all the pale faces to shut their pie hole.

Last week I reported on the University of Tennessee’s quest to introduce gender “inclusive” pronouns into the Big Orange lexicon. Instead of he and she, students and professors were encouraged to use words like ze and zir.

“We should not assume someone’s gender by their appearance, nor by what is listed on a roster or in student information systems,” wrote Donna Braquet, the director of the university’s pride center. “Transgender people and people who do not identify within the gender binary may use a different name than their legal name and pronouns of their gender identity, rather than the pronouns of the sex they were assigned at birth.”

I receive correspondence weekly from parents and students who are troubled by the influence of liberal ideology on university campuses.

And it’s not just happening at public schools. Get a load of what the kids had to endure at American University – a private school in Washington, D.C.

Incoming freshmen were instructed to introduce themselves by name, hometown and “gender pronoun,” according to Young America’s Foundation (YAF).

“I found that this school has an obsession with political correctness,” Freshman Tristan Justice told The New Guard. “Despite being informed that American University was a very liberal campus, I went to orientation with high hopes that it wasn’t as bad as it sounded, but I was wrong.”

Welcome to an education system operated by the tolerance and diversity crowd, Tristan.

I really feel bad for American moms and dads – I really do. They send off their kids to college as decent, freedom-loving people. But they return home as gender neutral, secular progressives who can’t figure out whether to leave the toilet seat up or down.

Our institutions of higher learning need a courtesy flush, America.

Very true. But I think there is some hope they can rise above it. Like I said previously my daughter graduated from PSU and was lucky to find a job in her field. To her credit, she always worked, even while in school, but you are surrounded by the college mentality, even when you are working and going to school. Since she has been in the real world now for about a year, she has said to me a number of times that I was right about many things.

So there is hope. But you have to counteract the bullshit they are getting at college with common sense at home. See, that is more of the problem than colleges or high schools. Too many parents compartmentalize their kids. What I mean is school is the school's job, church is the church's job and so on. Everything is your job as a parent. You can't just concede certain things.
