That’s one of several phrases deemed a ‘microaggression’ at faculty leader training sessions initiated by University of California President Janet Napolitano

“America is the land of opportunity,” “There is only one race, the human race” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” are among a long list of alleged microaggressions faculty leaders of the University of California system have been instructed not to say.

These so-called microaggressions – considered examples of subconscious racism – were presented at faculty leader training sessions held throughout the 2014-15 school year at nine of the 10 UC campuses. The sessions, an initiative of UC President Janet Napolitano, aim to teach how to avoid offending students and peers, as well as how to hire a more diverse faculty.

Professors are, however, allowed to say, “America is the land of free stuff for illegals.”

Can we post signs on the borders declaring this?

Will our embassies put this in bold at the top of
their immigration application forms?

Microaggression is a term invented by the left for circumstance and allegations unprovable by anything other than the “victim’s” feelings. It perpetuates victimology and separatism without any need to refer to facts.

New sign for liberal Academia; “Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Would Enter Here!” All that is taught is group-think, mediocrity and victimhood.

I’d say it’s a valid constraint on their speech. After all, we don’t them saying something that isn’t true.

Now once Cruz gets in, they should starting screaming it from the mountain tops.

Jimmies Carter wrote a book “Why Not the Best”, because, it is against the law.
