Everything the FBI does it learned from the Mafia.

I actually feel sad for some of these kids. Some of them may have brilliant minds, but have been indoctrinated into a certain way of thinking that is ultimately self destructive to the very culture that gives them life. This is because of the quality of teachers that dispense the mental slop to vulnerable minds. Not knocking all teachers because there are some amazing and dedicated ones, but and entire generation or two of the teachers were taught and indoctrinated by their own teachers who grew up in the 60s and 70s.

End all government student loans and grants. Self pay or scholarship or private loans only. That would clear out a lot of the chaff who are responsible for this kind of crap. End tenure so dead weight ideologue profs can be jettisoned. Increase tuition for those students who keep changing majors or otherwise delay being graduated. Make college mean something besides a chance to be indoctrinated.

“Now, the course will focus primarily on ancient Mediterranean authors.”

There are many European countries on the Mediterrainean but I guess they dont count. Perhaps they mean writers who lived in the Mediterrainian sea itself? Maybe Atlantians?

OK, so...let’s replace the white European authors with...

Booker T. Washington, Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, Larry Elder, J.C. Watts, Justice Clarence Thomas, Armstrong Williams, Michael Steele, Janice Rogers Brown, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Roy Innis, Niger Innis, Alveda King, John McWhorter, Jesse Lee Peterson, Ward Connerly...

And make each of them required reading for minority students. The howling would be even louder!

That was my first thoughtAdd I might add in student loan debt in many cases.

I often wish I could be a fly on the HR office wall when these people are interviewing for a job...

HR- Mr. Smith, what are your qualifications for this position ?

Mr. Smith, I'm black.

HR - Yes, I noticed you are black, but the company doesn't not hire based on race, religion, etc.

Mr. Smith, are you being racist ?

"...There is not one nation, region or major city on earth that is black-run that is successful, by just about any measure...."

This is not entirely accurate. There is one measure that they are all successful at.

All black-run cities and regions in the US are successful at abject failure.

At least give them credit where credit is due.

If I were a parent paying ANYTHING to this school, I’d be very angry....it costs over $70K to attend...but, then these complainers are likely getting “scholarships” provided by...government...you and me!

What would be hilarious is removing white authors and replacing them with the works of Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell.

Beat me to it. (post #66)

Not true. There’s Wakanda.

Oh, right. Fictional.

Oops. Sorry.

Educationally, the university in general becomes more worthless by the day.

(Though I wouldn’t mind digging through some of their math and physics libraries.)

Isn’t ‘reading’ itself insensitive to the illiterate?

Dark and lonely on a summer's night.
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking. Do he bite?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
Slip in his window. Break his neck.
Then his house I start to wreck.
Got no reason. What the heck?
Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L my land lord!

Well I certainly hope there are no white students participating in making this decision to ban white authors because clearly that would be unfair.

“Reed freshmen will still receive the message that learning about white culture is more urgent and foundational to a college education.”

If they believe this they’re too stupid for College.

Frank and honest discussions of culture and race should be encouraged, not criticized.

>Civilization will not survive the Snowflake Generation
I am hopeful that snowflakes will not survive civilization.<

When the next civil war is over those who survive won’t be snowflakes. They will be survivors in a real world that has trashed, burned and buried political correctness.

Strong men instead of snowflakes will run what few colleges and universities will remain. Hope and pray the libraries will be saved.

1984 will long be passed. Tell your grandchildren to rejoice and make America great again.
