More “microaggression: nonsense at the University of Wisconsin.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
It just sows their racist and sexist assumptions and projections they live by.
Actually Obama, Congress, & USSC, are turning America into a chamber pot.
If that’s racist then you reject being American. Turn yourself around and get out of here.

June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...
Parents & teens are going into debt for this?
Where are the marxist phrases in that statement? Nothing microagressed about white shaming or wealth shaming!
It was more a melting pot when immigrants were more alike
Not now
Insane idiots used to be locked up for care and treatment. Now we just give them tenure and let them run loose on campus.
“Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough” is like saying “People of color are lazy and / or incompetent and need to work harder.”
Why pick on colored people? Quite a racist statement there. Anyone can be lazy regardless of race.
[SNIP] "........If we rigorously examine the root causes of hate, let’s rethink Common Core as an anti-racist, -sexist, -homophobic system of instruction. We do need a common core of history, civics and other subjects that lead to a more inclusive brand of patriotism than our curriculums currently generate. This is a Common Core debate worth having. Last year, Texas and Oklahoma among other states denied the acceptance of the national advanced placement (AP) history curriculum because of its “anti-American” leanings. In 2013, the Arizona Department of Education banned Ethnic Studies and the multicultural course offerings on similar grounds. The fight for American History plays out periodically around the country, but we should have this debate in terms of developing national standards based on inclusion, engagement and civic participation.
In addition, if we’re serious about using schools to reduce hate, we have to look at who teaches....."
[SNIP]
Just like phone cameras have exposed racist policing, in schools we need technology, student evaluations and other feedback loops that detect bias in teaching. Moreover, our metrics should catch up to Obama’s eulogy. A successful school is one that actively minimizes bias. Let’s hold ourselves accountable for how students feel they are treated. Academic growth might best be tracked by reducing racism and bias.
(And by the way, remove all “Rebel” mascots.”)
Princeton University professor Cornel West often says that we’ve become “adjusted to injustice and adapted to indifference.” Educators have to believe our schooling has contributed to numbing the bigotry that’s flagrantly waving in our faces. Let’s hope that teachers inspire a movement of students who climb proverbial flagpoles."

Minnesota: Austin school district addresses need for diverse staff with initiative
AUSTIN — Forty-eight percent of Austin Public Schools' students are students of color, but more than 90 percent of the district's employees are white.
The district hires 30 to 60 teachers every year, but finding qualified non-white teachers has proven difficult, Austin Superintendent of Schools David Krenz said.
"Minnesota has struggled to find teachers of diversity mainly because as a state we did not have a lot of diversity," he said.
To address the disparity, the Austin school district plans to grow its own teachers.
Austin's initiative has two main goals: Find diverse teachers to fill open positions, and provide educational opportunities for students of different backgrounds who are potential first-generation college students.
"The importance lies in the opportunities we will be providing for current staff, non-teaching, who now have an opportunity to further their education and work towards a college degree," Krenz said. "It will benefit our students by providing role models for them as well as a less costly way to attend college and earn their degrees."
....................."There are no costs associated with the program other than staff development for teachers working with imbedded students and space provided for the Winona State classrooms..."

WSJ - April 2015: Mother of ISIS Recruit Suspect Voices Shock, Disbelief ~~In Minneapolis Somali community, friends of men arrested express outrage at terror allegations~~
"......................After Thursday’s hearing, Mr. Daoud’s 18-year-old brother, Abdi Rashid, said the case against his brother amounted to “entrapment.” “They set him up for failure,” he said.
More than 100,000 Somalis have come to the U.S. since the 1990s as refugees. The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is home to the largest Somali community, numbering about 75,000 immigrants and U.S.-born children, according to independent estimates.
Like other refugees, before Somalis are allowed to travel to the U.S., they undergo security checks that can take several years. On arrival, they are received by resettlement agencies hired by the State Department to help them find housing, learn English and secure jobs, among others..............."
America is no longer a “melting pot”. It is more like TV dinners that have separate sections for each mediocre food stuff.
Absolutely over-the-top nutz.
LOL.
And in other news, Scott Walker is trying to cut the University of Wisconsin budget and the prima donna professors who say things like this are screaming bloody murder about the cuts. Go Scott!!
All it will take for this BS PC to stop is for one person to say no - and take the consequences.
BTW, Can tenurd professors be ired? Or do they get reassined to the Perpetual Motion Research Project?
When I was in college - 40 years ago- I was told that “melting pot” was not correct.
The term that was preferred was “marble cake”
Does anyone know about this or recall that ancient distinction?
Shades of Janet Napolitano, who pioneered language purging in the California University system.
