How radical, weird and out of touch have liberals on college campuses gotten since Obama came into office? It's worse than you ever thought and although there is an almost unlimited number of problematic incidents to choose from, these 15 are particularly effective at getting across how bad things have become.
1) "College Students Say Remembering 9/11 Is Offensive to Muslims The everything-is-offensive brand of campus activism has struck a new low: Students at the University of Minnesota killed a proposed moment of silence for 9/11 victims due to concerns insulting, childish concerns that Muslim students would be offended."
2) "Portland State University Offers Course Teaching How to 'Make Whiteness Strange' According to Portland State University Professor Rachel Sanders' 'White Privilege' course, 'whiteness' must be dismantled if racial justice will ever be achieved. The course description states that 'whiteness is the lynchpin of structures of racial meaning and racial inequality in the United States" and claims that 'to preserve whiteness is to preserve racial injustice.' Students taking the course will 'endeavor to make whiteness strange.' In order to make whiteness strange, the description says students must 'interrogate whiteness as an unstable legal, political, social, and cultural construction.'"
3) "A University in the San Francisco Area Actually Told Students To Call 911 if They Were Offended. Administrators at a Catholic university in the San Francisco Bay Area have rescinded an official school policy instructing students to clog up the regional 9-1-1 emergency reporting system to report 'bias incidents.'
The school is Santa Clara University, reports Campus Reform Until this month, however, Santa Clara administrators have been instructing students to report 'bias incidents' using the emergency service reserved for dispatching police, firefighters and ambulances.
'If the bias incident is in progress or just occurred: ALWAYS CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY,' the Santa Clara website instructed students in fierce, all-capital letters."
4) "Educators in the Volunteer State are very concerned that students might be offended by the usage of traditional pronouns like she, he, him and hers, according to a document from the University of Tennessee Knoxville's Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
For all you folks who went to school back when there were only him and her here's a primer: some of the new gender neutral pronouns are ze, hir, zir, xe, xem and xyr."
5) "A Professor at Polk State College has allegedly failed a humanities student after she refused to concede that Jesus is a ‘myth' or that Christianity oppresses women during a series of mandatory assignments at the Florida college. According to a press release from the Liberty Counsel, a non-profit public interest law firm, Humanities Professor Lance 'Lj' Russum gave a student a 'zero' on four separate papers because the 16-year-old did not 'conform to his personal worldviews of Marxism, Atheism, Feminism, and homosexuality.' The law firm has called for a full, private investigation of the professor and the course curriculum."
6) "College Codes Make 'Color Blindness' a Microaggression; wait, what? UCLA says "Color Blindness," the idea we shouldn't obsess over people's race, is a microaggression. If you refuse to treat an individual as a 'racial/cultural being,' then you're being aggressive."
7) "The phrase 'politically correct' is now a microaggression according to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The university’s 'Just Words' campaign is the work of UWM’s 'Inclusive Excellence Center' and aims to 'raise awareness of microaggressions and their impact' microaggressions like 'politically correct' or 'PC.'"
8) ) "'American,' 'illegal alien,' 'foreigners,' 'mothering,' and 'fathering' are just a handful of words deemed 'problematic' by the University of New Hampshire's Bias-Free Language Guide.Saying 'American' to reference Americans is also problematic. The guide encourages the use of the more inclusive substitutes 'U.S. citizen' or 'Resident of the U.S.' The guide also tries to get students to stop saying 'Caucasian,' 'illegal Immigrant,' 'mother,' 'father' and even the word 'healthy' is said to shame those who aren't healthy."
9) "Late yesterday afternoon, ACLJ filed a lawsuit on behalf of Brandon Jenkins against officials of The Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) in Maryland for denying Brandon admission to its Radiation Therapy Program in part due to his expression of religious beliefs. As one faculty member explained to Brandon, on behalf of CCBC, the ‘field [of radiation therapy] is not the place for religion.'"
10) "A California school co-founded by a firebrand who once called for an 'intifada' in the U.S. has become the nation's first accredited Muslim college."
11) "According to Coastal Carolina University, sex is only consensual if both parties are completely sober and if consent is not only present, but also enthusiastic. This is a troubling standard that converts many ordinary, lawful sexual encounters into sexual assault, and it should frighten any student at CCU.â€
12) "Clemson University apologizes for serving Mexican food. Students took to Twitter to call the event culturally insensitive and to question the school's efforts to promote diversity. Clemson Dining issued an apology to 'offended' students after hosting a 'Maximum Mexican' food day."
13) "All-Women's College Cancels 'Vagina Monologues' Because it Excludes Women Without Vaginas."
14) "The 'Black Lives Matter' leader who landed a teaching gig at Yale University delivered a lecture this week on the historical merits of looting as a form of protest, backing up his lesson with required reading that puts modern-day marauders on par with the patriots behind the Boston Tea Party."
15) "Assistant Dean (at Cornell) Tells a Project Veritas Investigative Journalist that the University Would Allow an ISIS Terrorist to Hold a 'Training Camp' on Campus, Saying: 'It Would be Like Bringing in a Coach to do a Training on a Sports Team.'"
>>Seriously, where would you send a kid today?
Community college for the first two years. There are enough veterans and working adults in those classes to squelch this kind of stupidity. By the time they are Juniors and ready for University, they will have been indoctrinated in good citizenship instead of bad.
The orchestrated destruction of higher education and parents are paying for this.
Bump
Insanity
God help us all.
My son tried community college, but his heart wasn’t in it. He got a part-time job, slinging feed at the local Tractor Supply, three years ago.
Now, he is in management and in line for promotion to store manager.
There are marvelous opportunities for anyone willing to work.
So you think republicans are the source of this fanaticism by a gaggle of demrat party psychopaths.
Substitute "rapist" or "Klan member" for "terrorist" and watch the reaction.
Your post makes good sense.
I am an adjunct at the local Community college teaching Computer aided drafting. I tell them the first day of class that I am not politically correct, if they are easily offended to drop the course and take it at the Community college over the mountain (1 Hour away). They are expected to be in my class on time and prepared to learn, I don't give private instructions and I don't tolerate stupidity.
One student threatened to go tot he dean. I pulled out the cell phone and said: "Do you want to call her or should I, she is on speed dial to take care of imbeciles like you?"
He never came back.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the first semester at a community college is that it allows one to flunk out cheaply
Well they wanted a college education for everyone even if you never were able to pass a grade in highschool or even went to high school at all and this is the direct result. We can see the hot bed cradle of black racist theology while the white priveledged white students make every attempt possible to ly down and kiss thier a##es
>>Perhaps the most important aspect of the first semester at a community college is that it allows one to flunk out cheaply
I would list that as a side benefit. But it does allow one to get one’s first 60 credits very cheaply. Anything that works against Big University, Inc is good.
It’s no joke. My alma mater, one of the Seven Sisters, is now admitting men as long as they “identify” as women. The problem became public when “Dan” wanted to become President of the Student Body....
We need conservative ONLINE universities—like Kahn Academy. Bricks and mortar are being funded by the Feds. The only way out is to use electrons.
That is the way to take care of idiots in the classroom.
Online classes from Hillsdale might be an alternative.
Plus, Heritage also has excellent instruction online.
I have finally discovered a positive thing about getting old. At least one won’t have to put up with idiocy like this for too long.
If not corrected, anybody infected with liberalism eventually spins out of control into the realm of complete insanity. That’s the logical conclusion of liberal “philosophy” where there can be no harsh words or people made to feel bad.
Their first attempts at getting a job post-school may prove interesting.
