Fifty years after the birth of the free speech movement at the University of California, Berkeley, officials across the UC system are encouraging faculty and students to purge mundane, potentially offensive words and phrases from their vocabularies.
Administrators want members of campus to avoid the use of racist and sexist statements, though their notions about what kinds of statements qualify are completely bonkers. “America is a melting pot,” “Why are you so quiet?” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job,” are all phrases that should raise red flags, according to the UC speech police.
Requests for faculty to quit perpetrating these teensiest of microaggressions are thankfully just that—requests—although the fact that they come straight from the desk of UC President Janet Napolitano lends them some muscle.

The Marxists have taken over most of the education in this nation from pre-school to grad school. Its been a long time goal of theirs and it appears they are succeeding. God save the Republic.
“America is a melting pot,” “Why are you so quiet?” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job
HELLO???
One day in the future these fools of diversity, tolerance and inclusion living in the world of political correctness will have to defend themselves from those they so vehemently protected. It won’t be pretty and the ones that attack them won’t even know what they did.
If I had to raise my kids over again, they would NEVER set foot on a government campus. NEVER. Thank God I was able to get them through school before it got this bad.
Too bad the sheep in college don’t stand up on their hind legs and demand freedom.
There really can be joy in fiddling while Rome burns.
I’ve been embracing it for a while now. :-)
The new “State Religion” is Political Correctness.
No established Religion is protected and most are under assault by this “State Religion”
When seeking answers to societal ills, such as the racism that fueled the murders in S. Carolina, the State is quick to jump on a flag as the motivation, when it is actually the Godlessness of the culture.
When trying to determine right from wrong the State demands we not refer to Religious teachings, but rather the State mandated Political Correctness.
Reminds me of the joke about the woman that takes in and cares for the snake until it bites her. Then she is totally shocked as she lay dying! “B**ch, you knew I was a snake.”
Insane.
Don’t assimilate. The most qualified should not get the job.
Lunatics are in charge.
liberals try to impress their emotions, whatever intelligence they have, and feelings on the lesser of the world. To them, because they themselves ‘feel’ something it must automatically mean the reverse is true. It never occurs to them an animal has no feelings. It’s actually quite delusional.
At elite colleges, the sheep got where they are by superior ability to discover what "they" want, and then to provide it.
They are the least well-educated group in America - but their test scores are AMAZING.
BTW,in case you've never heard of them they're both *very* exclusive and *proudly* Marxist schools.
Is there any other kind in Massachusetts?
Better to denounce it. Start a petition against Janet Napolitano for her UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES. Whrn a few of these big mouth, big money nutjobs are brought down, there is bound to be a faltering of their agenda. As long as they are tolerated, they win and win bigtime!
These guys are trying to run our country into the ground by brainwashing our children! I hate these liberal Marxist thugs that’s running our schools now!
bfl
WHAT AM I SAYING! Those fools will actually do it!
