I applaud your actions. Never back down and never remain silent in the face of such ugliness.

[Northern Yankee]

Thanks for the update, Julie.

You're an angel!

Why didn't they use an example like this:

If Teddy poured two liters of vodka down his own throat, and another liter down the throat of an unsuspecting young girl, then drove 30 miles per hour off a bridge into a canal which was flowing south at at 3 knots. Solve the following two part question:

A. How long after he saved himself would the girl finally lose consciousness and die?

B. How long after he contacted the family attorney would he notify the authorities of his "accident"?

Hey.....you know why.....your version is too close to reality.

This was a hypothetical math question. :)

Remaining silent is an ugly condoning of the act

Nice purple prose there. Now, let's get specific. What you accomplished other than the disciplining of one faculty member AND increased power for the diversity police over ALL faculty and students? As a result of this campaign, the diversitycrats are laughly all the way to their mandatory sensitivity training.

BCC recommendations


BCC plans to take immediate steps to increase racial and cultural sensitivity at the college. The list of proposals includes:

• Creation of a vice president of Equity and Pluralism position.

• Creation of an Ombudsman position.

• Increased funding for pluralism training and development.

• Tracking data that illuminate places where the college fails to provide excellence to all students.

• A pluralism component in program review and employee evaluations.

• Having professional development days focus on pluralism, especially in the upcoming year, for faculty and staff.

I find it interesting that the college is reacting as if this was a racial slam when in fact it's a political hit done the only way they know how.

Interesting point you raise.

I think it was both.

The librals fear Condi Rice more than any other black Republican!

I'm not sure why saying black people like to eat watermelon is racist.

My neighbors are Mexican and beans are on the menu every night.

I'm German and love to eat kraut. So what?

[Kibaga]

Why can't you people be sensitive to other peoples' need to be insensitive?
