PENN STATE ADMINISTRATION SUMMARIZES RECENT EFFORTS TO ERADICATE INTOLERANCE

If you are not familiar with the issue that led to this, see the list of FR links at the end of this comment.

This is nothing but a vicious assault against the majority of conservative students at Penn State who greatly outnumber liberals, much to the consternation of the extreme left-wing orientation of the University administration.

The recent (last few years) have seen a dramatic rise of conservatism among Penn Students, and practically a panic on the part of the administration as a result, as they realize that they are losing the students.

One of the College Republicans at this Halloween party came dressed as "Over sodomized frat pledge", along with a bloody bottom. This really freaked out the LGBTAP organization (a.k.a. A-Zs) at PSU, because they don't believe that anyone can be oversodomized. Who are we to judge?

Another showed up in blackface with a bicycle chain around his neck. This was a parody on the vice-president of the USG (Undergraduate Student Government), who last month was convicted of theft of another student's bicycle and was fined $300.

And then this, from item #2 above: "A new group of Young Republicans is forming on campus. The University will support their efforts to launch an alternative for student Republicans."

Guaranteed to be RINOS and homosexual psuedo Republicans, manuevered by strings held by their masters.

The whole strange idea that you can counter "homophobia" (actually homodisgustism), racism, sexism, etc. with increased diversity is...well, strange. Many of the cultures celebrated under the umbrella of diversity are themselves more hostile to homosexuals, women and divergent races than is that of the USA. If these people weren't usually part of the university intelligensia, I'd begin to suspect that they just weren't very smart......

[Willie Green]

President Spanier and Provost Erickson both have indicated their belief that the current intercultural and international competence requirement is too broadly defined, and the focus of the requirement needs to be narrowed.

Well as an alumnus, I can certainly support narrowing of the focus.
Especially if they narrow it so much that it virtually disappears.
With tuition costs skyrocketing, there's way too much money being wasted on this social-engineering garbage as it is.
I'm getting pretty doggone upset that they keep degrading the value of my PSU diploma this way.
Time to get back to basics and provide the students with a high-quality education that they'll find useful later in life.
This international/multicultural touchy-feely crap doesn't fulfill that goal.

One thing is for sure, and that is that they are not at all tolerant of any idea that doesn't conform to their liberal ideology.

If a student opposes affirmative action, he or she will be branded a racist. If a student will not "celebrate" the homosexual lifestyle, he or she will be branded as "homophobic". Tolerance is not enough. "celebration" is demanded.

Every year these homosexuals have what they call "Pride Week". I've always wondered what they could possibly be proud of as a result of their deviant behavior. Yet the PSU Spanier administration continues to promote and encourage homosexuality on campus.

One of these days I expect that the University is going to be sued by the parents of a student who has either been injured by an outrageous homosexual act gone wrong, or has contracted a sexually transmitted disease as a result of PSU minimizing the dangerous nature of the homosexual lifestyle.

PSU Bump!

Well USG was a joke 30 years ago, and I see it hasn't changed one bit.
Normal students don't pay any attention to it.
All the college "Republicans" succeeded in doing was proving that they're as immature as the little marxist factions.
WG's words of wisdom: forget about the political crap until after you graduate.
You're only gonna be in Happy Valley for 4 years, so make the most of it.
Hit the books and study hard, and in your spare time hit the bars, drink some beer and dance.
Believe me, you'll have a much better time and better memories than getting involved with this horsecrap.

That jpg of the tolerance camp is exactly the area of campus where Graham Spanier would lke to isolate all PSU conservatives.

The members of the new "Young Republicans" sponsored by the University will serve as the guards and gas chamber attendants.

One of these days I expect that the University is going to be sued by the parents of a student who has either been injured by an outrageous homosexual act gone wrong, or has contracted a sexually transmitted disease as a result of PSU minimizing the dangerous nature of the homosexual lifestyle...wouldn't even have to involve homosexuality, would it? - seems I remember only within the past year or two Penn State spent thousands of public dollars on a "Sex Festival", celebrating all manner of lascivious activity - parents could probably sue the University for any number of sexually-related misadventures from short-circuited vibrators to pregnancy......

Thanks for the update ,will cross this one off my daughter's list,...

In my opinion it would depend on the are of study your daughter is interested in pursuing. I wouldn't cross PSU off the list just because we have some rotten apples in the administration at the moment.

If she is interested in the liberal arts, then she should go somewhere else. But if she is planning on going into the hard sciences (chemistry, physics, math), engineering, meteorology or other earth sciences such as geosciences, or business, then PSU is among the best, and the faculty in those areas are far more academically oriented than are their counterparts in liberal arts and soft sciences.

Tolerance?


The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The FBI and U.S. Secret Service were notified about an act of vandalism on the Penn State University campus that appeared to include a threat against President Bush.



University police received a call Wednesday telling them about the vandalism. The words "Bush dies 12-10-03" and "Iraq" were found painted on the Nittany Lion shrine, a stone statue that depicts the university's mascot, university police supervisor Bill Moerschbacher said.

Acts of vandalism are rare at the shrine, and usually are associated with football games.

In 1966, Joe Paterno's first year as head coach at Penn State, his wife, Sue Paterno, and the wives of two assistant coaches poured water-based orange paint over the shrine two days before a game against Syracuse, hoping to frame the Syracuse fans and enrage the Penn State students. Later that night, some Syracuse fans were arrested for pouring oil-based paint on the shrine.

"This is the first time I've heard of the shrine being used for a political message," Moerschbacher said.

No witnesses or suspects have been identified.

So political satire costumes are illegal now?

I guess we can start arresting all those lefties that dress in warped Bush costumes depicting him as Hitler at "peace protests".

[drhogan]

people have the right to wear whatever costumes they want to at a private party, if the host allows it. however, by linking the photos to the college republican web site, the president of the college republicans did demonstrate a real lack of political intelligence. republicans at Penn State will be better off with a new leader who has better political judgement.
however, i think people should insist that spanier be just as critical when members of left-wing groups reveal their own "lack of tolerance."

4. CURRICULAR CHANGES The bias incident reinforces the continuing need to educate our students about multicultural issues. The University Faculty Senate has previously committed to developing a revised curricular requirement that better reflects the domestic multicultural experience.

This is one reason that I am one lifetime member of the Alumni Association who stopped donating anything to the University and who will no longer accept calls from the University.

That College Republicans President is a freakin' idiot, yeah, but his behavior no doubt resulted from resentment which developed and festered at that place because of the "multi-cultural" / "diversity" (ie., anti-white-male) policies of liberal scumbags like Spanier. Both of these "presidents" need to go.
