Major U.S. Universities Ban The Use Of The Term “Chinese Virus”
Conservative US ^ | 03.25.2020 | Alex Hall

US President Donald Trump lashed out at China on Saturday, saying Beijing’s lack of transparency led to his administration’s late response to the coronavirus outbreak.

“I wish China would have told us how bad the situation was before we had to read about it. Because they were having a big problem and they knew it,” Trump said at a news conference on Saturday at the White House.

“China was very secretive and that’s unfortunate,” Trump said.

Trump has pivoted this week to emphasize the outbreak’s start in China, repeatedly using the term “Chinese virus,” which has been criticized by the fake news media as fuelling racism against those of Chinese and East Asian descent.

It seems that the mainstream media’s campaign is working for now.

WND reported that diversity officials for the University of California system have banned using “Chinese virus” to refer to the pandemic that originated in the communist nation, instructing students, staff, and faculty to discourage others from using the term as well.

“Be an ‘up-stander,’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior,” the officers said.

The Council of Chief Diversity Officers issued a statement instructing everyone in the system to “reject racism, sexism, xenophobia and all hateful or intolerant speech, both in-person and online.”

The statement cites resources from within the University of California system, including a Joint Statement from the Vice-Chancellor – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the Interim Vice Chancellor – Student Affairs at UC Davis titled “Rejecting Coronavirus Xenophobia.”

That statement said: “A core of our mission at UC Davis Health is, of course, to advance health. Yet, health, privilege and bias are often intertwined. In recent weeks, we have seen an example of this in the alarming rise in bigotry and xenophobia against Asian communities. For many Asians, the racism is not new, but it has been emboldened as Asians are scapegoated for the coronavirus epidemic. This is doubly painful as Chinese communities also bear the weight of most of the lives lost.”

So this would force many of the major universities that are located in California to ban the use of the term “Chinese virus”.

The list includes : Stanford University California Institute of Technology University of California–Berkeley The University of Southern California, University of California–Davis The list is huge I know many of our readers would say big deal it’s just California!

But remember not everyone in California is a brainless Democrat, there are American patriots that live there and fight for what America stands. And their children have to put up with universities that protect the communist regime in China.

What is wrong with these people?

The first outbreak took place in Hubei Province, China, and even a few years ago many scientists would have innocently called it the Wuhan virus or even the Chinese flu, as was the convention. Early in the news coverage, Time called it the Wuhan Coronavirus. After President Trump used the term Chinese Virus, everyone started calls for racism.

It seems that more universities and more states might follow this example.

Long March Virus.

I think Seth Rich caught it. He collapsed and died on a D.C. sidewalk. Doherty, Stevens, Smith and Wood may have caught it in Libya. Jeff Epstein possibly in a jail cell not distancing himself enough. The poor people at Waco had it everywhere. They had to burn the place down in order to save it.

Universities are where one goes to learn the fine art of burning books.

God forbid Trump would ever say he ate at a “Chinese” restaurant... the left would again be screaming RACIST and the Universities and left freaks would be demanding the removal of all ethnic identified foods on menus and named restaurants.

Why are we allowing any university the opportunity to tell anyone what they can call the Chi-com virus? who in the hell do they thing they are?
It is time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Yep, this is what we typed over and over in typing class and we haven’t forgotten it.

When this pandemic is over, we retired people that lived through the Korean, Viet Nam, Gulf, and Operation Desert Storm should storm these communist hell holes called universities and shut them down until the administrators are replaced and sanity reigns again.

My god,we are basically in a civil war. The left is just something that we cannot live with ever. The future is bleak if these scum continue to fester just like any other virus.

Universities haven’t figured out that they’re in for major down-sizing, now that students can get an education on-line, instead of attending their enormously expensive indoctrination centers.

What will become of these politically correct nerds? They think they’re infallible.

They are NOT !
