I realize now that there will always be ignorant people who spew epithets and there will always be that angry fool who etches a swastika into the wall.

Oh it's not ignorance, honey. If you ask them about their beliefs, they will spew data until you'll want to choke their whole family to the floor. It's not ignorance. It's EVIL. Say it with me. E-VIL.

Ignorance is when you can't spell the words you are using, not when you simply use them.

What, exactly, will it take to recognize people based on the content of the character, and not on the color of their skin? The diversity programs specifically identify people based on the color of their skin.

She's railing against diversity and majoring in Spanish. Oh the irony.

Ahh I did this very thing during the Clinton years in college. I was placed on a panel to be questioned. Being blonde haired and blue-eyed they figured they couldn't lose and corner me into just going their way - WRONG. A question posed to me by an American African was "What would you do about inner city crime and violence?" My reply - "I would give them more guns and various other weapons to kill themselves off faster, and make a profit(with a smile!)".

That effectively ended my line of questioning.

Any locals able to fill in some of the gaps in the story? It seems there was some kind of (Christmas?) "carol" that enraged the campus because it was based on truths about affirmative action &c.

Sounds like Tufts hasn't changed in over 30 years ~ still a bastion of leftist intolerance.

Congrats to Ashley for surviving four years of brainwashing at Tufts.

affirmative action undeniably embitters the students who were treated unfairly through the college process in the name of racial preferences, diversity quotas and tolerance, whichever words you want to use to dress it up and make it sound politically pleasing.

come on up to MI hun.. we got just voted to get rid of that crap. (yet we voted a dem back into office at the same time.. i don't get it)

the college application process was surprising, confusing, blatantly unfair, racist and most of all, embittering.<./I>

I believe it is deliberately designed to do just that, embitter and divide people. And as AppyPappy mentioned about EVIL. Folks EVIL is afoot, and fuzzy-headed (lazy) thinking allows it to multiply. Kudos to the author of the piece, she received more of an education than she bargained for. I just hope instead of being embittered, she is empowered to be a leader for constructive change in our society, before we arrive at the PONR.

These ivory-tower educators, who profess that salvation hinges on education, should be reminded that the most educated society in the history of mankind was Nazi Germany.
I would rather have a stupid tyrant in power than a brilliant one.

I've read a lot of "Opus" posts here at FR but never one as good as the one she just gave Tuffs. One of the joys of being a senior. You can finally laugh and ridicule the BS you used to have to grit your teeth and tolerate as part of the paper chase.

"At one of these chats, I came up with an idea for how to make the school more racially integrated. Thinking my idea was fairly straight-forward and rather brilliant, I suggested getting rid of race houses. I don't think people around here would feel so thrilled about a white, male Protestant house on Professor's Row, so maybe some people feel that way about an African-American house."

I like to run the facts back and forth, to see if they're racist. She is showing the same thing here.

Take your daughter to work day ALSO MEANS leave your son at home day.

When Shirley wants to go work out at a Curves, a female only facility, how would she feel if the Brent had his male only place called Buff?
Didn't we just come from there and the females claimed discrimination and filed for admission to all male places /schools/ clubs / sports/ scholarships?
How ironic that they return with the exact same, but opposite trait, and expect a pass?

Everyone wants it to be equal but that's not what they really mean.

If we run the facts both ways and they're racist, sexist and/or bigoted one way, why aren't they the same when you run them back the other way?

I don't get it either Ashley.

She sure is.

How sad that these days it takes courage to speak out or express one's opinion if different from the Thought Police.

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Hey, teacher! Leave those kids alone!

All in all, we're just another brick in the wall
