The leftists own the public universities now, all of them. Your tax dollars at work.
But the parent said nothing about telling their child to quit that hellhole did they? Stop paying the tuition. Say it was a miistake and tell them to go find another path to their goals in life. If this parent thinks the orientation is th end of it or writing an article will save their child from years of indoctrination headed their way that is called being willfully complicit and trying to assuage guilt without actually doing anything.
SAVE YOUR CHILD. GET THEM TO DROP OUT NOW.
My best friend reported same orientation deal for her son at Kennesaw college here in Georgia. The campus atmosphere is so bad he moved back home after three weeks and transferred to N Georgia college this past year which is much better.
Your Majesty - Your Majesty - Her Majesty - Her Majesty's
Evey statement must begin with the words:
“...but since he’s an adult, that wasn’t my choice to make.”
No, Mom. That is your choice.
Now you know why they are called ‘hokies’................
All I can tell this mother is tell your son to focus on the technical stuff and IGNORE the political stuff.
You can’t BS in Science and Technology. If your logic does not work, your program won’t work. If your calculations are wrong, the building collapses.
Forget “calling out” the University; it is faceless. Call out Tech President Timothy Sands and hold only him responsible! Lefties are cowards. Keep the heat on him and isolate him!
Dad, stop payment on that check while you can!
RE: Kennesaw college
Newt Gingrich used to teach a course there.
I was shocked ...Shocked to find out the liberals are active.
Pronouns are only useful when a person is being talked ABOUT. Why is the left concerned about facilitating gossip?
Penny sounds like she was triggered. VT is considered a “conservative” campus by today’s university standards. Part of that is the very large number of international students. The other is the large number of STEM students. Both groups tend to be less interested in playing the “reindeer games”.
Sit back, enjoy the beautiful campus, the new biking paths at Pandapas, hike the AT, watch the football team implode, go to Sharkey’s for AYCE wings, enjoy the best food of any college campus (#1 every year), a selfie at the neon VT flag at TOTS and most all, don’t be a butthole.
We might come visit you up there some day.

Agreed. After he fulfills his basic requirements (English, etc), he can concentrate on what really matters to him - the science and math classes. He doesn’t have to associate with Women’s Studies or Sociology majors.
Milton Friedman was the speaker at my 1977 VaTech graduation. If you stay in STEM classes minimize your contact with liberal arts & humanities profs you will hardly notice the fools.

I agree totally. I am an older student currently and I am in the tech side of things and I can tell you the political agenda is in everything. My hope is that when people send their kids to these schools they have been taught right from wrong and understand that the piece of paper does not make the person and all the non-technical BS is just that BS.
Many schools now stipulate that in order to graduate, STEM students must take several “Social Justice” classes, so there’s no escape.
