Exactly right. Most schools give little more than a hat-tip to this crap. The events are poorly attended and never mandatory.
My son just went through freshman orientation at Pitt and didn’t have to deal with any of this crap, though there are clubs and groups on campus of this nature.
“freshman orientation at Pitt and didn’t have to deal with any of this crap”
I find that hard to believe in today’s world. My freshman orientation was in 1986 and there was some p.c. crap thrown in even back then. Pitt would have to be an outlier.
Hi, CW. I'm a Pitt grad, (BSIS '95). I'm glad to hear that Pitt hasn't gone all the way over the edge, though they're certainly on track for it.
It's funny--while PC was still in its infancy while I was in school, my school would host various "speakers" and presentations throughout the school year. As a rule of thumb, most of the really PC events were poorly attended.
The anti-PC events however--I remember Darryl Gates of the LAPD once spoke--those events were in big demand. They'd fill the auditoriums for those. Unfortunately, while the PC crowd couldn't draw crowds to an event, they could muster up enough trouble-makers to "protest" an anti-PC speaker. "Shout-downs" were frequent.
Liberals love to talk a good game when it comes to a free exchange of ideas. What they mean though, is a free exchange of THEIR ideas--liberal ideas.
