if the class is mandatory for graduation, he should challenge test the class... learn the propaganda and take the test but not sit there and be insulted by his inferiors

I’ve been to several of these sessions. They’re not as bad as described, they’re worse.
There goes his doctorate.
Good for him, that he was not intimidated and decided to speak up. Some of Generation X young adults may be the ones to put a stop to this institutionalized race baiting or assumption of guilt by color. Some, like this man are saying NO! I wont attend you brainwashing clinics, or give false homage to your violent antisocial heroes. We as a society need to have the open discussion on how much we are willing to allow someones gender or sexual preference to be the deciding factor in every single area of life. We are fast approaching the saturation point, I hope.
Tell them you are offended and you have a civil right not to be offended like all the other victim groups.
If they refuse to listen.
Burn down the college.

Toward the end of my active duty in the Navy, the CO reviewed my annual fitness report (FITREP) with me. I was startled when he noted that I treated all sailors and officers equally, regardless of race or national origin (there were no women in combat squadrons then). My response was that such a statement was an insult, implying that I might NOT treat everyone fairly. My CO looked embarrassed, agreed, but said that the Navy was now (then) requiring this disclaimer on all FITREPS.
It was an insult then; it’s an insult now. Neither of us could have conceived of the poisonous circus that has evolved since.
Here’s hoping he uses different routes home each night, parks his car in various locations, and invests in a remote starter.
Isn’t this actionable under Civil Rights laws?
Diversity training is such complete BS. Mainly, it provides jobs to losers who push this crap.
These “diversity” training sessions have become an industry where the professionally offended can offend as many other people as they can. They are doing what they love, so as the old saying goes, “they are not working”.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Yeah, I think this whole transgender thing is a regrettable charade—let folks change their names and dress as they’d like. They can even have amenable friends and colleagues use contrary pronouns in referencing them, if they’d like. That’s as far as I’d go with that.
But UW, like most colleges, clearly has transgender students now, and if this dude’s religion forbids his treating such students professionally in that environment—he needs to work as something other than a TA for this school.
Years ago (early ‘80s) I attended a “diversity” seminar. At the time I worked for a rather huge computer company, now no longer in existence. My guess was that if the facilitator had not landed this cushy gig, he would have been on the street selling drugs. I didn’t see any particular skills in the guy except for spewing diversity crap.
That is some excellent writing. Anybody who uses “to wit”, “hectorees”, “marbled”, and “redolent” with the casual perfection that he does needs to be read.
“Reeducations” is what they do in all Communist Utopias.
Nothing will be done. The addressee of the letter already knows it all, but he like all his colleagues in the faculty and administration has been intimidated into silence.
I think "re-education day camp" has a much better ring to it.
UW-Madison is THE most liberal college here. I’m not surprised this happened here. Good for him for bringing attention to it. But I guarantee that local newspapers and news channels he sent this to will not cover it. Hopefully he sent it to the 2 conservative radio stations we have here, b/c that’s the only way it’ll be heard.
Good lord! I skimmed through the article and kept thinking “thank goodness my grad school didn’t have this nonsense when I was there!”
I didn’t see it mentioned in the article who is in charge of these “diversity” sessions, but I’m going to guess it is some division of Student Affairs. I had a brief flirtation with pursuing a career in that element of university life, and headed in the other direction at Mach 2 as soon as I realized the nonsense involved.
As radical as certain professors can be at various universities, the folks who end up in Student Affairs type job are almost always far, far worse. These people are overwhelmingly doctrine-spouting, petty tyrants. There are exceptions, of course, but I’d argue they are in the extreme minority.
