You cannot walk through a tour of most colleges without getting lectured about the need for "diversity" and the prevalence of women's and even queer studies.
My youngest son and I took a tour of Columbia University in New York City recently and were told that the contributions of the great Western thinkers to our civilization would be "updated" in various classes with reference to the involvement of feminists and homosexuals. There is even a "Queer House" or "Q House" on campus. A 28-page guide is available on "Resources and Programs at Columbia University related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Issues."
A tour of the University of Virginia, supposedly more conservative, found fliers on bulletin boards advertising "Pride Week 2016" with "Safe Space Training" and a "Pronouns Workshop." The sponsors included the Virginia Department of Health, the Queer Student Union, the LGBTQ Center, the Student Council, and the Office of the Vice President and Chief Officer for Diversity and Equity at the University of Virginia. What jobs does this produce for young people?
Dr. Tina Trent, who writes about problems in academia, says that non-ideological and technologically-oriented students are increasingly being drawn to online learning opportunities that prepare them for the real world. Many students, she notes, just can’t afford to "mess around for four years" in areas that offer nothing practical or marketable. Still, she notes, "the big money is behind the brick and mortar perversity circus."

If there is a Q-house, is there an S-house?
The colleges will be able to get away with this, too, since the government demands that colleges promote the thoughts of feminazis and sodomites.
Eliminate ALL government funding of education immediately, and the problem solves itself.
One of the reasons English does so well, when you ignore the spelling confusion, is that it doesn’t require a formal you, has simpler pronouns, and it lacks male/female dichotomy of nouns you see in Latin languages.
These idiots are trying to make the language more complex, which is bad enough as is.
Or just tell these schools there are two sexes, period. And if they aren’t smart enough to understand and teach that, they do not belong in the education business and won’t get another dime of public money. Their choice.
But I don’t know what planet I’m thinking of...

That’s pretty much true of ANY government program. You might want to read what Davy Crockett had to say about legislative welfare.

“We’re in trouble. I just checked with the guys at the Queer house and they said that every one of our answers on the Psych test was wrong.”
The only areas which have any justification for being government funded are the military and police, and I’ve heard that it may be possible to implement a viable military/police program which doesn’t receive government funding.
Excellent link, by the way; Davy Crockett was one of the greatest Americans of all time, as evidenced by how he took the farmer’s criticism seriously.
Sweeeet. I think that is probably the most referenced movie on FR, and for good reason
