Ithaca College Student Government Association is creating an online system which it claims will give students the ability to report microaggressions. It believes the action will make Ithaca College a safer, more inclusive and diverse community for all students.
The system will be online and will fill the needs of students, the Student Government Association believes. It will also be anonymous.
However, Kyle James, vice president of communications and co-sponsor of the bill, states that if a student who has been subject to microaggression wants to sue the aggressor, theyll have to reveal their identity.
The system will also track who is reporting the microaggression and how they believe they were insulted.
Junior Elijah Breton, senator for the School of Health Sciences and Human Performance, supports the bill, saying, Just like any other resolution that we want to pass with microaggression and diversity in the institution, what it does is it helps to make people think a little more before they do or say something.
Sophomore Joshua Kelly, senator-at-large, was the only vote in the Student Government against the bill. He said he was dismayed at talk of suing people over microaggressions.

Pretty much everything.
Countdown until it becomes a contest to out do each other in stupidity.
How about Cis/trans/cis
I had to look that up.
Bet you wish you hadn’t. ;)
“microagression”?
Sounds to me like they’re going after free speech. Say what we approve, disagreement is aggression. And aggression is actionable.
A liberal named Massengill, no doubt.
Keep looking, you’ll know when you find it.
Holy sh*t.
What freaking morons.
Cisgender and cissexual (often abbreviated to simply cis) describe related types of gender identity where individuals’ experiences of their own gender match the sex they were assigned at birth.[1] Sociologists Kristen Schilt and Laurel Westbrook define cisgender as a label for “individuals who have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth, their bodies, and their personal identity” as a complement to transgender.
Anyone who pretends that has meaning should be locked up in a rubber room for about 40 years.
What this will do is lead to many students refusing to talk to other students they don’t know well. Liberal fascism at its worst (best?).
The way it works is that each topic in your list must be reviewed by The Group. Depending on what The Group decides For The Good Of The Community, each topic will be judged Offensive, or Acceptable.
If, in response to any of these judgements, no matter what they are, you sigh, roll your eyes, fidget, or in any way respond without a big smile, head nodding and wide open eyes - then you are committing microaggression.
“The only thing micro about that aggression is the size of their...”
The little man syndrome, always trying to prove something.
(little scu*bags)
IMHO
A coed in a mini-skirt
reported her feelings were hurt
she found that her tort
didn’t stand up in court
when they found her a first-degree flirt
Sticks and stones
may break my bones
but words will always hurt me
Its so anonymous that it tracks those making the claims
George Bush WAS a fascist? Was? When did he stop being a fascist? I am sure there is a micro-something there, you are so on the naughty list you might want to transfer to Cornell.

By George, I think he found it.
Now look up ‘affirmative consent’ and ‘continuous affirmative consent’
