Before he was shot dead while attempting to murder a bunch of people with a car and a butcher's knife, Ohio State University student Abdul Artan—a Pakistani immigrant who reportedly became radicalized after learning about injustices committed against fellow Muslims—was enrolled in a class called "Crossing Identity Boundaries."
In fact, he had a group project on "microaggressions" due later this week. The assignment, worth 15 percent of his grade, required students to find a dozen examples of microaggressions on social media and explain which identity groups were the victims, according to the syllabus.
The purpose of the class is to promote "intercultural leadership" and transform students into "actively engaged, socially just global citizen/leaders." It seems to go well beyond merely educating students, though—it actually requires them to become social justice activists.

Thankfully his "social justice activism" was quickly shot down.
Looks like he should have taken the macro aggression class first.
He was a SNOWFLAKE !
You can’t make this stuff up!
He missed the mark on his class project. It was supposed to be about MICROagressions. Knife attacks are are almost never microagressions. Does the Koran speak to this issue?
Do you think the University will offer him a posthumous degree?
For what degree path is this class germane?
Its called teaching how to be thin skinned. Teaching people to be mad. Teaching people that they are not American. They are their own identity group. And everyone else is hateful. I’m not proud to send my kids to college. I am worried at what crap they will teach my kid.
btt
I thought he was from Somali.
Well, from an Islamic perspective, a knife attack IS a microaggression.
It’s all relative.
An Islamic macroaggression is when they use an AK47. Or a plane.
My son is a freshman and he already knows about the indoctrination BS that goes on and we both laugh at the fools.
He was Somali but applied for immigration in Pak-kee-ston.
So did he flunk his course or get an A from the left wing faux professor, wasting tax $’s with this Microaggressions class?
I wonder if waterboarding him might have cleared him of his microaggression triggers?
So now they have classes on how to be paranoid.
“That guy is looking at me funny because I am a minority!”
All this blood is on 0bama's hands.
And crickets from the fake media.
This leftist university should be ashamed they promote such courses.
Perhaps Governor Kasich can explain why a state-funded university was paying to conduct a class on this bullplop.
