The Bible foretells that in the last days prior to the return of Jesus, a time will come when men will be unable to speak truth because of corrupt laws. Similar George Orwell's, "1984", the verses presuppose a day in which the government closely monitors everyone's words looking for offense. Today we call this "political correctness" (PC). Any violation of PC is a "hate crime", for example, verbalizing your disagreement with LGBT lifestyles is hate speech and assault, contending that Islam is not a religion of Peace is now called Islamophobia, hate speech, and assault.
Socialists have dominated the political agenda recently by controlling the language. By claiming that everyone is the victim of some form of micro-aggression (except those who disagree with them of course) the socialist liberals have created a movement that canonizes their agenda. This is the nuclear option for quelling all dissension and forcing all their ideological elements. The Marxist-Leninist concept of democratic centralism involves strict adherence to, and defense of, a communist party's positions in public, while in inner-party debate sessions, the line can be questioned, criticized, and changed if necessary. Welcome to Euro-America 2016...
Think I need a safe space from all this PC BS. Oh, that’s here at Free Republic!
I find the chancellor’s new policies offensive and disrespectful. I demand that he be fired and confined to a ‘safe space’.

This snowflake at college thing has gotten so out of control that professors don’t even tell students there is a deadline for assignments. Students can turn in assignments whenever they please.
The only thing offensive is the school’s new policy.
Everybody in the university communities needs to consider the following. When the states ratified the 14th Amendment (14A, ratified under very questionable circumstances), they prohibited themselves from abridging rights which the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect. This is evidenced by Section 1 of 14A.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
So be prepared to diplomatically use Section 1 of 14A when low-information university officals use politically correct “rights,” so-called “rights” that the states have not amended the Constitution to expressly protect, to trump constitutionally enumerated rights such as religious expression and speech expressly protected by 1A. Such action by state officials is a blatant violation of Section 1 of 14A imo, such officials possibly not aware that Section 1 exists.
In fact, citizens with religious convictions should note regarding exercising their 14A protections that Acts 22:23-30 shows that Paul claimed his rights as a Roman citizen to save himself from being flogged.
My kid would have stood up and yelled, “Shut the **** up!”.
Glad she’s graduated already...
“Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and a fool despises instruction’’- Isaiah 1;6.
Would I be going out on a limb, if I said I figured that only conservative white students have to follow this rule, and all minorities do not?
