A class to be offered this spring at Ohio State University is an identity politics-based course that in large part is focused on teaching students how to detect microaggressions and white privilege.

Harassing white people class
To think that Woody Hayes once taught US History at OSU. They wouldn’t let him near a classroom today.
Only way to fight back and seriously piss off the liberal profs.
One would think that it would be a higher priority for their school to teach their football team to score at least a few points in a playoff game.
My microaggression is just a small result of these Marxists using the ideology of cultural determinism. It is the basis of Identity Politics and I am sick of this slick tactic that fools so many susceptible people. Microaggression is just a small reaction compared to my outrage.
Ok, I know . . . I will not to quit my day job. But it felt good writing it. LOL
Not a bad idea! It would be great if an organized group would enroll in the class of a particularly obnoxious Marxist professor and hound him/her with a planned strategy that destroys their entire argument. Then, post each effort on You Tube.
Ah, no. PC is not dead.
There sure is a lot of cleaning up to do after 8-24 years of foul administration.
You misunderstand. This is not a hypothesis... This is "settled science."
Regards,
Is a "sarcasm" tag really necessary?
Listen up, snowflakes: If you stand arm-in-arm chanting mindless slogans with smug looks on your faces while blocking people from walking down public rights-of-way to an Inauguration or similar, and you end up with a painful nose or lip dripping blood, then yes, you have suffered from a Micro-Aggression. Your Prof will reward you with an A+ and your mug will be featured on the Pantheon Of Victims page on your college’s website.
Here’s a macro aggression. The college campus is now a play-pen for intellectual cretins.
Awesome post, love the entire thread!
Ohio State class teaches students to detect and respond to microaggressions, white privilege
Aggression so small, students need to take a special class to learn how to even notice them.
Cut off the money.
Students should refuse to take the class, claiming that it is a microaggrssion, and are “triggered” by it.
I thought Libs were against profiling.....
Everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.
The following exchange was recorded in 'The Atlantic" September 11, 2015. It might help some of us seasoned citizens understand better microagression. /s. Am pretty sure no one here could make this up. Link at end.
Last fall at Oberlin College, a talk held as part of Latino Heritage Month was scheduled on the same evening that intramural soccer games were held. As a result, soccer players communicated by email about their respective plans. “Hey, that talk looks pretty great,” a white student wrote to a Hispanic student, “but on the off chance you aren’t going or would rather play futbol instead the club team wants to go!!”
Unbeknownst to the white student, the Hispanic student was offended by the email. And her response signals the rise of a new moral culture America.
Offended Party:
1. Thanks for you thinking that the talk is “pretty great”. I appreaciate your white male validation. I see that it isn’t interesting enough for you to actually take your ass to the talk.
2. Who said it was ok for you to say futbol? It’s Latino Heritage Month, your telling people not to come to the talk, but want to use our language? Trick NO! White students appropriating the Spanish language, dropping it in when convenient, never ok. Keep my heritage language out your mouth! If I’m not allowed to speak it, if my dad’s not allowed to speak it, then bitch you definitely are not supposed to be speaking it. Especially in this context.
The Offended Party continued in the same email . . .
1. Your not latino, call it soccer. You don’t play futbol. Futbol is played with people (LATINO) who know how to engage in community soccer, as somebody who grew up on the cancha (soccer field) I know what playing futbol is, and the way you take up space, steal the ball, don’t pass, is far from how my culture plays ball.
2. I’m not playing intramural once again this semester because you and your cis-dude, non passing the ball, stealing the ball from beginners, spanish-mocking, white cohort has ruined it (for the second time). Unless I find another team you won’t be seeing me.
3. I don’t care if this email is over the top or mean. So complain to whatever white friends you want about it. You’re never going to know what its like to not be able to your own heritage sport comfortably because of your gender/race/ethnicity.

Students and parents go into debt in order to be fed this drivel in college
This is why they have to wait tables when they graduate.
