It is Stalinist. Orwell warned of the Stalinists in the West he saw while he was fighting Fascism in Spain.

Another way that they discriminate against normal people. Unfortunately, I believe this is what they all do, and that there is more that we don’t know about.

There is no freedom in this country. The left targets normal people for persecution.

“They can’t tolorate losing.”

No, they can't, because they are destructive and selfish narcissists. I honestly feel that the left should be laughed at and humiliated, into oblivion. They are amongst the most selfish and destructive creatures to have ever walked the Earth.

Liberals have no standards to live up to, but they're happy to make up ever changing standards for the rest of us.

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one's own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.

Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.

And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

What exactly is in one’s digital profile and digital background check?

I think the dreaded "personal record" we all heard about in elementary school is finally coming true ("Listen to teacher or it will go in your personal record!!!").

I think I remember reading about David Hogg having a hard time with his college applications.

Scrub your Twitter page, then re-follow them once you get there.

Clear, blatant violation of the students/applicants First Amendment Rights to free speech and to freely associate/assemble - especially if these institutions of lower learning/living are public (government) universities! Public schools/ universities must also respect the First Amendment just like any other government entity. The universities that pull this crap will lose in court if the student(s) sue!

Private universities may have more latitude when it comes to the First Amendment but I believe if they accept government funding that they must also honor the First Amendment Rights of their students. Not sure about that, though.

It’s a good thing that I don’t have a Twitter, Facebook, Freerepublic, , or other social media accounts.

As I understand it, if you’re studying social work, education or any field like that you are required to take an oath for social justice and equal rights of all kinds. I heard this about 20 years ago when I was looking at getting a masters degree in vocational rehabilitation. Anyone ever hear of this?

No, but they should be pursuing degrees in something that will land them an actual job that can earn them a legitimate wage.

incoming college students are more hostile to free speech than they have been during the past 50 years.

Correction: They are more hostile to YOUR free speech ... not theirs.

Except, now days it’s a good-thing to not attend college.

It’s proof you still love America.

They must also ensure that their web surfing history is not collected by an admissions committee because innocent digital activity is being used to reject students from their dream colleges

How could a college have access to your web surfing history?

Data from ACT and SAT optional surveys with a lot of personal information is one source of this data on students, and it is being sold to recruiters and lenders.
