Donna Riley, the head of the engineering department at Purdue [Correction: her actual title is Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education], has put the world on notice that “rigor” is a dirty word.

That parenthetical correction is a big deal. "Engineering Education" is a cluster-fxxx of political correctness poisoning the minds of future high school science teachers. It is NOT an Engineering School teaching future engineers.

Why don’t the people who work with this moron just declare her an idiot and move on? Is every leftist or femenist brain fart worthy of consideration? It would be as simple as “With all due respect, madam, that is stupid.”

Rigor may be a defining tool, revealing how structural forces of power and privilege operate to exclude men of color and women, students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ [love the plus sign!] people, first-generation and low-income students, and non-traditionally-aged students.

Bullsh!t.

You either know physics or you do not.

You either know math or you do not.

You either know statics, dynamics, mechanics, hydraulics, etc, or you do not.

You either know thermodynamics or you do not.

If you base an engineering design on your knowledge of the "structural forces of power and privilege" then someone is going to get injured or killed.

This is a real shame. Purdue used to be a top-notch engineering school.

You won’t really have to worry about her students designing bridges or buildings. With their level of knowledge they’ll be fetching tea for their Chinese bosses or cleaning up after meetings in the conference room.

Hmmm, Rigor head!

No, that doesn't sound right.

Rigor you!

Nope, not working for me.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

...the hetero-patriarchal trappings of “academic rigor”...

So if you're a woman or homosexual you are incapable of performing the necessary work to achieve competence in the field? Got it.

That’s a pretty rigorous attack from Ms Riley.

Gee I wish my auntie the rocket scientist was still alive

Geezers what a stupid woman
