[Segretation Movement in College Campi]

Hampshire College “identity-based housing.”: race, culture, gender or sexual orientation ... Because there is no group of people who have not faced oppression, Hampshire College is guilty of religious and ethnic discrimination in its housing segregation policy. [snip]

University of Connecticut administrators think that more black men will graduate if they spend more time together. “... a space for African-American men to ... come together and validate their experiences that they may have on campus. ...” racially segregated student housing. [snip]

... racial segregation in classes ... Moraine Valley Community College attempted it ... some class sections be “limited to African-American students.” ... they make students “feel comfortable.” ... just recently abandoned its racial segregation agenda. [snip]

[Bashing Trump, Lady Gaga Class, etc.]

Suppose a student at Ripon College enrolls in a chemistry, math or economics class. What do you think ought to be the subject matter? Zachariah Messitte, Ripon’s president, who is also a professor in the politics and government department, has encouraged fellow professors to disparage Donald Trump, arguing that it’s “fine” for professors to “acknowledge Trump’s narrow-minded rhetoric” in class, suggesting that Trump’s “bigotry” is a valid topic for most any course.

... gross academic dishonesty. I’ve been a college professor for nearly a half-century. I challenge anyone ...

Adding to campus lunacy are classes such as “Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame” at the University of South Carolina. Cornell University’s physical education department offers a class titled “Recreational Tree Climbing.” At Georgia State University, the English department offers a course called “Kayne vs. Everybody.” At Tufts University’s Experimental College, one can take a class called “Demystifying the Hipster.”
Skidmore College’s sociology department offers “The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media.” Frostburg State University’s physics department offers “The Science of Harry Potter,” where it examines some of the tale’s magic. Georgetown University offers “Philosophy and Star Trek,” arguing that “Star Trek is very philosophical” and adding, “What better way, then, to learn philosophy, than to watch Star Trek, read philosophy, and hash it all out in class?”

College administrators like to keep campus barbarism under wraps. One of the best means to throttle their hideous agenda is for students to use their electronic devices to expose it to public scrutiny.
