I work at a state wide community college, but I am 100% sure that this crap is happening in all areas. Public and private.
They want to teach me to be MORE accepting of what I may completely disagree with. Happy that for right now it's NOT MANDATORY.


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Education; Miscellaneous; Society

Appreciating Differences: Implicit Biases, Perceptions, and Micro-Aggressions Effective community college leaders seek to understand and validate the experiences and feelings of other people and create a culture of inclusion and belonging. This workshop will prompt you to broaden your perspective by engaging in dialogue with others. You will uncover and reflect upon your implicit biases, misperceptions, and the diversity of people within your inner circle.

Literally nothing more than a course in acceptable “right think.”

Why it is that we have to be always more accepting?
Should the left also give something on the acceptance field?

What gets me is this crap is made up for the white people who are told they all have biases and micro-aggressions against POC. They never say that POC have any biases or micro-aggressions against the white people. It’s always the white people’s fault. According to the left, white people are the only group that can be racists. That in itself is a bias and discrimination against the white people. I have met a lot of black folk that do not like white people and will let you know it. But that isn’t racist....

As I understand it, the problem with implicit bias is that those who test “positive” for it, subsequent study has shown, aren’t in any way associated with more biased behavior.

I recently moved out of a majority white town in a majority black county. Glad to be out. There is no doubt there are plenty of black racists who do not like whites.

Exactly. AND, they keep making up new meanings of words and new words for each tearing down America monthly or quarterly. Going to school board there are new buzzzzzzz words that they are so excited about and they have virtually NO CLUE what to do with them. They are there to teach, not be the culture!!!!

Personally, I can’t even get them or try to get them into my brain as I am near 70 and have enough history in me but now know that God’s Word, The Bible, is the real test of time!!!! So I don’t need their crappy courses to talk to people. PLUS, progressives don’t know how to listen and research their mindset to see that they just might be in error or need conviction. They just blame us for being rigid!!!! They are the ones that stop conversations.

You are correct. Woke ideology is one-way only.

Consider the transgender issue. We are told that we must accept the rights of transgender, biological men to use women’s locker rooms.

But we must not accept the rights of biological women to have privacy while changing, showering, etc.

It’s one-way only. And if you’re not on board with that, you’re more than just wrong. You’re a hater who deserves to lose your job and your reputation. Cancelled you are.

Prelude to the Re-Education Camps. Right now they are just perfecting the techniques.

“an awareness of how micro-aggressions manifest and how to counteract them”

So, what happens when a student claims that any grade less than a grade of ‘B’ or lower, is a micro-aggression and wants YOU to “counteract” it?

Exactly why one should claim a micro-aggression when confronted with racism aimed at them.

White supremacy? Micro-aggression
White privilege? Micro-aggression.
Anything with “white” in the phrase? Micro-aggression.

“Effective community college leaders seek to understand and validate the experiences and feelings of other people and create a culture of inclusion and belonging.”

What BS. Educational institutions have gotten way off their MISSION...time to bring them back. Also, I just read the Ohio state legislature (I think) is working on legislation to demand schools get back to education MISSION.

I was at a liberal conference recently .
The thing they do now at the start is what’s called a “land acknowledgement “
That basically means they state which Indian tribes land you are trespassing in where you are sitting.
I’m guess that’s a standard lib thing now.

understand and validate the experiences and feelings of other people , as long as they don’t disagree with us or feel differently than us,

A master course in hypocrisy and duplicity !!!

and create a culture of inclusion and belonging except for those that
disagree with us or feel differently than us,
