Can’t wait for the “Diversity bridges” and “polysexually correct airplanes”!!!!
Do we have to have collapsing bridges and crashing airplanes for people to see the insanity of the SJW approach to engineering??????
Destruction is the whole purpose of cultural Marxism: the PCdiots are right where minions of of Frankfurt School were supposed to be.
The only way to deal with them is intolerance towards their every demand, frankly even make them unemployable.
Great post. China, Russia, India and other countries do not have the Social Justice millstone around their necks.
This SJW (in reality, Socialist Worker) baloney will soon sink us if it is not defeated.
The only glitch is that the same Globalist scum who sold stockholders on shipping industry overseas to take advantage of labor arbitrage, euphemistically called "free trade", have destroyed the incomes of the very consumers the economy of this country is based on.
They have a fix for that, too, though, it's called opium in all it's many forms and it's our turn to be the addict nation that keeps the current incarnation of the East India Company rolling in dough.
Paraphrasing an old song :
"It's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for, don't ask me cause I don't give a damn, next stop is Afghanistan."
Out with the Golden Triangle, in with the Golden Crescent. And this time around, the dope flows mostly to the US rather than mostly to the rest of the world.

“Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many who enter through it.” The goal of social justice warriors is to destroy whatever they don’t understand. “Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but in airing their own opinions”. As they sow, so shall they reap.
SJW types in Engineering??
How in hell did they make it past algebra/geometry/trigonometry, physics, chemistry?
I call BS, no SJW is capable of that much mental acuity.
We keep hiring social justice champion engineers here in Memphis. They all self terminate in about a year and look for government sector engineering jobs where they just sub contract anything they are required to do. They cannot function in private industry.
Mao’s cultural revolution - American Style.
I find SJWs to be a macroaggression.
Maybe they want to build computers like Landru.
Kalkulous be rasist.
So the buzzwords and bullshyte regurgitated by edumacated poodle herders fails to compile into anything functionally useful.
Imagine that.
Just hire a contractor - we’ll SALVAGE it for ya!
;-D
Socialists destroy everything.
You excerpted your own blog. Why not post the entire thing instead of stealing from FR? Why blog pimp against the rules of FR??
"...revise engineering curricula to be relevant to a fuller range of student experiences and career destinations, integrating concerns related to public policy, professional ethics, and social responsibility; de-centering Western civilization; and uncovering contributions of women and other underrepresented groups…. We examine how technology influences and is influenced by globalization, capitalism, and colonialism…. Gender is a key…[theme]…[throughout] the course…. We…[examine]… racist and colonialist projects in science….’”
Western civilization truly will begin to literally collapse! Buildings, bridges, dams, aircraft falling from the sky...
This story popped up a couple of days ago, from a different source; I’ll repost what I did at that time about the idiot SJW in charge of Purdue’s program:
In the comments section of the original article one will find the following abstract to a paper by the Dean of Purdue’s School of Engineering Education:
“Thermodynamics is a subject area in engineering that is deeply relevant as it deals with energy use in society. However, students often struggle to connect their experiences with energy course content traditionally based in theoretical discoveries from 19th century Western Europe. The work of French philosopher Michel Foucault is similar to thermodynamics in that its abstract poststructuralist theory strikes fear in the hearts of students, but can be made deeply relevant when its understanding is grounded in one’s experience”; abstract to “Power/Knowledge: Using Fourcault to promote critical understandings of content and pedagogy in Engineering Thermodynamics” by Dr. Donna Riley, Dean of Purdue’s School of Engineering Education
The errors, deceptions and diversions in just those three sentences of that abstract boggle one’s mind.
Students struggle with thermo NOT because they can’t connect it with their experiences, but because thermo is hard - and anybody who has taken a course in thermodynamics would know that.
Thermodynamics was not developed as a strictly theoretical proposition, but (as in most science) through an interplay of theory and experiment - heck, one could argue that the fundamental experimentation (which involved careful observation of processes as mundane as the heat generated when boring cannons) was more critical than the development of the mathematical theory related to it.
The fact that thermo was developed largely in 19th century Europe is totally and completely irrelevant - the Carnot cycle would describe a thermodynamic phenomenon equally well whether it was proposed by a Frenchman born in 1796 or a Korean born in 1896 or an Egyptian born in 1696.
The work of Foucault has practically nothing in common with thermodynamics - one would be hard-pressed to find to realms in academia more dissimilar: thermo provides a detailed understanding of a portion of physical reality with profound practical consequences; Foucault postulates a system of philosophical approaches best-described as a load of bull-pucky, which has mostly served the purpose of providing a pay check for poseurs like Riley.
One would hope post-structuralist theory WOULD strike fear in the hearts of undergrads; sadly what it does instead is provide an academic hiding place for students who have neither the intellectual ability nor the work ethic to handle stuff like thermo.
I could go on, but I don’t want to have to hit a booster dose of my blood pressure meds.
