Full title: Political correctness 101: Praising America, virtues of hard work dubbed ‘micro-aggression’ on campuses

Looks like colleges are seeking for enrollments to drop.

the whole concept of “microaggressions” was created simply to stifle dissenting thoughts, actions, and speech. in practice, it’s a cudgel that can be used against ANY target because it’s not about the thought, action, or speech... but solely about how it makes the complainant feel.

it’s truly Orwellian (or Brave New Worldian?) the stuff being taught to these SJW morons who are then unleashed on society to wreak havoc.

The newly forbidden terms were initially identified in a 2007 American Psychologist publication by Columbia University’s Psychology and Education Professor Derald Wind Sue

Derald Wind Sue...really.
Mr. Sue, and I use the term Mr cautiously, were you teased as a child? Did you run home to mommy if something scared you?
Here’s what you do. Head over to Iraq, and tell those mean ol’ Isis guys they are being aggressive by cutting children’s heads off. Send us a video, and let us know how that works out for you.

And yet the commie libs get away with labeling their freeloading voters as “hard working families”. Go figure.

Those examples are a real grab-bag. Some of that stuff goes back to the fifties.

Is micro aggression the new in buzz word? I’ve never heard of it before. I guess I will be hearing that word a lot in the future?

Well if the pansies get the vapors over ‘micro-agression’ whatever will they do when someone in the real world confronts them face to face? Fall all to pieces no doubt-

Sad what this country has become- a bunch of liberal pansies

The new “political correctness” is that everyone must be categorized by skin color so that their character can be properly judged.

Your average 'colleges' have become human cesspools of Leftist groupthink, and churn out scads of over-sensitized slackjaws with no discernible professional talent whatsoever. Best thing you could do for your kid nowadays is send him to a good trade or profession-specific school were they might actually learn something that'll earn them a paycheck. Some place that doesn't require a student to take 'Lesbian Studies 101' as a mandatory course to get an accounting degree.
