The Ohio State University English Department is preparing to host a series of events this semester exploring whether its students have a particular “moral obligation” to endorse the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“As the Black Lives Matter movement has grown, students have played a pivotal role in drawing attention to circumstances of structural racism, sexism, classism, and heterosex-ism in our schools and universities,” the OSU English Department said in an email to the entire department Thursday. “To highlight the important role that the humanities can play in addressing these disparities, the Department of English will join a campus-wide effort to plan events related to the Black Lives Matter movement.”

No moral obligation. May have a vested interest to oppose them.

The ENGLISH department thinks they might? Why don’t they just aks them

This needs to be a stand alone thread... We could send it to some newspapers but the odds of finding a reporter who understand math is very small...

These colleges have gone Ape S**t.

They are churning out graduates with heads full of liberal socialist mush who can’t speak intelligibly, are funtionally illiterate, and can’t even make change for a hamburger and fries purchase without a computerized cash register.

drawing attention to circumstances of structural racism

according to an article at Monster (job board), about 33 % of all govt workers are minorities. Are all these minority workers racist? If they aren't, how is there 'structural' racism?

Me as a paying student. Knock off the political crap, just provide an education,. That is what I am paying you for...

And Rand Paul supports BLM...and how many freeper support him

Judging by the latest polls, about 2%.

I know that's not a great measure of his overall support, but he's not really a huge favorite here that I can tell.
