A list of demands from "students of color at Simmons College" has been released to their college, with the explicit threat that if some of the demands are not met, there will be "further action."
Like different campuses across the United States, African American students at Boston's Simmons College have been protesting perceived inequities at their university. Yesterday, they released a set of demands.
"We demand a meeting with President Helen Drinan and Provost Katie Conboy on Friday, November 20, 2015 at 7:00PM in Evans Basement," the document reads.
"This meeting time is non-negotiable," it continues. It then threatens, "If this meeting is not accepted there will be further action."
On top of demanding a meeting, the students listed 10 demands that the college must do.
Demand three says that "all faculty and staff" must "be put through rigorous diversity training" because of rampant "macroaggressions and misinformation in class."
It also demands "repercussions... performed by professors and administrators" for "micro-aggressions."
The list further states that there must be a "safe community space where was as students of color can gather and support each other."
Is that a threat to the hospitals and patients
across the street and down the block and around the corner?
Separate but equal makes a return. And it ain’t whitey’s idea.
micro-aggressions , hmmm sounds like Obama speak
Did the cafeteria run out of fried chicken and collard greens? Pathetic.
A real administrator would respond: “You are all expelled for violating university policy by threatening university employees. We find your tone and tactics so disturbing, we are referring the matter to the police.”
Yeah. The next demand will be that the day they enroll in the college that the college gives them a diploma of completion of all work and then they go out and the federal government gives them a $100,000 per year job for life. Compliments of the Gee-had Dimocratic Muslim Party.
DAFUQ is this crap.
Or else what?
Another College comes off people list of places to send their kids
“Students of color”? Oh, those feisty Art Majors...
How about at another university?
“And don’t be bringing no Wally World soda to the meeting. We want Cristal and Courvoisier “
Imagine a note to el presidente written in this tone....
The college administrators should just say “No” to the demands of these “students of color” (i.e., “colored people”) ... then go on about the business of running a university: hold classes; give exams; record absences and failing grades, etc. That is, they should just do what they’re paid to do. That’s all. Takes no more effort or courage than that.
Actually, shouldn’t there be a “whites only” safe space to get away from the constant and offensive haranguing to which white students are regularly subjected by “students of color,” who threaten them and make them feel bad about their melanin-deficient skin color?
Some years ago, over on Hannity forums, while detailing exactly why the opinion rendered for Brown was very badly thought out (”fatuous” was the term I used) I pointed out that by making the way segregation was asserted to make people feel, rather than by relying on the fact that the very intent of segregation was to be unequal, to cause inequality, it was in fact leaving the door open for the return do Separate But Equal if anyone were willing to argue that the feelings of inferiority etc had been dealt with or if it would be claimed (obviously with a straight face) that people would be happier if they could separate themselves and back it with suitable rules and regulations.
This is coming to pass surprisingly quick.
Sounds like extortion. Historically, there’s only one way to effectively deal with extortionists. Giving them what they want is not it. They just come back later with more demands.
