Students demand bathroom accountability
UMass Daily Collegian ^ | 9/20/17 | Wiesenberg

Posted on 09/20/2017 7:28:24 AM PDT by pabianice

Students, faculty and administration gathered to discuss why the sign for the first-floor bathroom in Baker Hall was changed from “gender-inclusive” to just for “women.”

Held in the University of Massachusetts Commonwealth Honors College Event Hall by the University Bathroom and Restroom Committee on Tuesday, the town hall-style meeting was intended to address why the bathroom—which is on the Spectrum LGBTQIA and Ally Floor in Baker—was re-signed and any steps that can be taken to resolve the issue.

Jean MacKimmie, Director of Residence Education for UMass Residential Life, led the meeting, beginning with an apology.

“We should have and could have communicated with members of the community last spring,” MacKimmie said. “I believe there are things that could’ve been done differently.”

Bathroom Wars. In 1964, the entering UMass freshman class scored an SAT average of 1230 points. In 2016, it averaged 830 on the old scale. Results have consequences.

Maybe the women are finally realizing they don't want to share their bathrooms with men they don't know.....

They are people who can’t determine who should be allowed to go in bathrooms, but they are certain man-made global warming exists and that a fetus is not a person.

There is a floor named “Spectrum LGBTQIA and Ally Floor”?????

Why is there a floor named for non-normal sexual activity? Colleges are in the business of changing minds. They force the students to accept the new vocabulary, which leads them to change their opinions.

It’s about destroying the value system that the students acquired from their parents and church.

If a human being can not figure out which bathroom to use, isn’t that person the textbook definition of an Insane Person??

The fact that there was a big meeting over a sign hung on a bathroom and the fact that there is a floor with that weird acronym tells me that students have waaaaay too much free time on their hands and that the college administration is whipped by these little brats.

There are adults throughout Houston who are picking up the pieces of their lives and doing so with an attitude I could only hope to have after such a debilitating disaster. Compare that to a bunch of bitchy brat students seeing the end of the world in a sign hung over a toilet.

One of the students says the only reason he’s still at UMass is because of that bathroom. And here I thought people went there for education.

psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "

I wonder how much salt peter it took to keep normal human nature from happening...

I think it’s sad this generation doesn’t understand what it means to celebrate our TWO gender differences rather than pretend they don’t exist. Truly sad. This short-sighted view will come back to haunt them.

How did this mental sickness permeate our school systems? Leftism truly is a mental illness. The inmates are running the asylums.

What will it take to make these mentally ill people understand that lopping off a penis does not make that person a woman anymore than dressing like a woman makes that man a woman. It doesn’t matter how much that mentally ill person thinks he is a woman. Normalizing abhorrent behavior is the worst possible way to treat this severe debilitating mental illness. He will never have a period. He will never have a baby. He will never understand what it was like to go through puberty as a girl developing into a woman learning how men view and lust after them. All this and much much more is all part of what it means to be a woman; not just a screw loose in some mentally ill guy’s head.

I can’t believe our society has devolved this much. This de-evolution will help no one. If someone wanted to destroy a culture/society/national identity; this would be a good way to do it.

How many of these so-called people are pedophiles pushing this narrative looking for easy targets.

Feminazis said one goal was to take away mens’ power. If that means telling them to go to the back of the bus/upstairs to take a pee, so be it. Neo-Segregationists do what they do out of hate.

I would think that most public buildings have 2 restrooms on the same floor (often but not always near each other). When Houston pushed a “potty parity” ordinance, it took former men’s rooms and gave them to women only so that women had more stalls that they were demanding. Men were told they could pee in a trough or outside or something.

Take away his power.

Great photo...Only a hopelessly kooky Leftist could believe that co-ed military showers would lead to utopian consequences.
