Emporia State students demand profs add ‘diversity statement’ to syllabi
College Fix ^ | April 7, 2019 | Staff

Students at Emporia State University in Kansas showed up at the college’s Faculty Senate meeting this past Tuesday to demand that professors add a “diversity, equity and inclusion statement” to their syllabi. The demand comes in response to a black student allegedly having to listen to a professor read black poet Sonia Sanchez’s “On Watching a World Series Game,” which contains multiple instances of the N-word.

Formerly the ‘Kansas State Teachers College’? If I remember right. We played at a bar there back in the mid ‘60’s called The White House run by a guy named Johnson. You know how he answered the phone. “Yours Turly KOMA” advertised it for us. Fun times but then it was summer and mostly Emporia was deserted. LOL! Yeah, I’m getting there. Well seasoned.

How about they put a party affiliation to those spouting those works, even historically? Ah, but that would be 99% Democrats and their KKK. Rather inconvenient.

Now, that is downright humorous.

If the prof had stuck with the dead white guys, s/he would have stayed out of trouble.

This from students that want separate (but equal!) graduation ceremonies.

just (if you can stand it!) turn on the black rap music channel for a few minutes and you’ll hear their favourite “N word” many, many, many times.....

Emporia State should look to Mizzou as a cautionary tale before they give in to this unwarranted, unreasonable request.

what is happening at these communist campi is nothing short of violation of the first amendment freedom of speech tp such a level that it is shocking. All federal tax dollars must stop flowing to these violators of the constitution.

Diversity has put America on live support. I hope this is one thing Trump eliminates before he leaves office.

The only diversity statement that professors need to add to syllabi is that a letter grade from A through F will be given for a student’s work.

Liberals have sold their base on the notion t hat diversity over-rides everything else and if you don’t worship at the throne of diversity, you’re a racist.

People? You mean feminists, fags, liberals, and other such wonder why. Men KNOW why they are going elsewhere in ever increasing numbers.

In my small town even the millenials realize the old Fashioned Christian women are running short. They're buying round trip tickets to where everyone, especially the average woman isn't stark raving mad. I knew a lot of service men back in the day who were really blessed with foreign born women. Both the men and women were far luckier than average.

White Liberals seem eager to use the N-word... it's like a test to see if the wolf pack will accept them. If they say it and get away with it, they are WOKE and they can tell the other white liberals "they have accepted me as one of them!!"
