A friend of mine in Ohio posted several pictures of eagles picking up squirrels to feed the youngsters. He said that he counted 4 squirrels caught by the eagle and brought back to the nest. I don’t think that the eagle cared what race the squirrel was, but it did care about feeding the young ones.

This professor should stay away from squirrels, any kind of squirrels, because they’re going to mistake her for a nut.
I often wonder what these people talk about in the faculty lounge.
Is it a sarcastic: “You think you’re so cool with your $80k grant to study racial bias among newborn babies, well, I’m applying for a grant on racial bias against and among squirrels. It’s amazing what the NSF will fall for. See if you can top mine for nonsense.”
Or is it a serious: “I am impressed with your $80k study on racial bias among newborn babies, so I’m applying for a grant on racial bias against and among squirrels. This will broaden your work. See if you can top mine for relevance.”
Or are they completely oblivious to everything and just stringing words with lots of syllables together and hoping no one else understands what they write either?
My Border Collie was very excited about this study!
...and pretty funny, too.
I have heard that beavers are also charged with a bias but not racial!
The war between the red squirrels and the grey squirrels has been going on here in the Northeast ever since I was a kid, and probably back to the days of Pocahontas.
So far, neither side has won.
This may merely be a campfire story. I have no proof of its veracity. But I knew an old hunter/trapper who would shoot an American Red Squirrel on sight. He said that male red squirrels were known to go up a tree, catch a gray squirrel asleep in his nest, and bite through the gray squirrel’s testicles; effectively castrating him. The old guy swore it was true. FWIW.
She’s nuts.
BTW, the squirrel the cats let loose in the house yesterday has yet to be seen. They seem to think it made it back outside. Hope so. For a while there, we had the chair from Big Bang.
Plainly, the professor has a thing for those bad boy eastern fox squirrels. Maybe she is a furry.
Cal Poly used to be known and respected as a science and engineering center of education and discovery; recall Prof. Richard Feynman. But “Liberal Studies?” I think the only place liberal studies ought to be undertaken is in a psychiatrist’s office.
A classic Democrat - a barking at the moon lunatic.
We're paying for this crap. We need to do something about it.
Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails & good PR.
This is either an academic spoof, a satire piece or insanity...
What purpose would such a paper accomplish ?
How does “Intersectionality” co-exist with a ban on “Cultural Appropriation”?
