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.

Hmm...bonus points for murdering somebody?
So he was radicalized by The Ohio State University?
I guess they need more playdough rooms.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
“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.”
Maybe he was thinking that resistance to his knife attack was a microaggression against him?? So as he finished the attack, he was just righting a microaggression?
Of course the officer who shot him was obviously an imperialist, patriarchal macro-aggressor “othering” him as a Muslim.
I bet there’s a loopy university journal somewhere that would publish an article that said this stuff over and over as long as we used the right lingo.

Somewhere?
There are probably MANY that would.
Charge the professor with incitemtn
“Hmm...bonus points for murdering somebody? “
And triple credit for yelling ‘stop triggering me’ as you stab them.
Microagressions are the ones done by White males, and consist of raising an eyebrow at an inappropriate time, or a smile that conveys the wrong message, or a poorly chosen word, such as “girl,” or “lady.”
Macroagressions are murder, rape, theft, arson, and are OK if perpetrated by a member of the world’s biggest death cult.
I wonder if 5.56/.223 is a micro- or macro-aggression?
Agreed. Anyone killed or maimed by one of these jihadists has their blood on the hands of the American Left as well as anyone else who aided and abetted them.
He was in an environment where white liberals validated Islam’s perpetual victimhood / blessed superiority status.
Thanks
I’d like to ask the professor who teaches the class the following questions:
1) Is running people over with a car considered a micro-aggression or a macro-aggression.
2) Is slashing people with a large knife considered a micro-aggression or a macro-aggression.
3) Is being shot in the head by a cop considered a micro-setback or a macro-setback.
I’m pretty sure I know the answer to the 3rd question, but I ant to hear what the professor has to say.
A Bachelor of Dumbass in Extreme Dipshittery?
So, beheading an infidel on a public sidewalk is a micro-aggression, while detonating a bomb vest that kills 12 adult infidels and 6 baby infidels might be considered a macro-aggression.
I think I’m getting the hang of this!
Hell, Ohio State probably will..
My take is it is fake course work. These kind of issues can be addressed during a freshman orientation segment by non faculty members.
This "college" should lose its accreditation for this single assignment in this one class alone.
