“Calculus... not so much”
Haven’t you heard?....math is racist
Been my tagline for years.
LOL reminds me of the school that opened a new “Diversity Center” and a black student made a speech complaining that whites were in the center. “Diversity” apparently meant “No diversity, students of color only”.
mindfulness-based stress reduction, coddling, encouraging and propagandizing those of a darker skin color. We feel your pain let us show you how to cope with the hate of white poeple
Excellent if the course teaches the right things.
I think all students who identify as BIPOC should be placed in separate but equal classes. Non-BIPOC students would have their own classes.
Universities morphed from Institutes of Higher Learning into Cesspools of Disinformation
That would be a bit of a dilemma. I wouldn’t want to take such an idiotic course, but I sure as hell wouldn’t put up with being barred from it by racial discrimination.
I’m mindful that Brown needs to change their racist name.
Seconded.
Team, team, team, anyone that can’t work as a team...is FIRED!
...underrated show.
Why not? Screw em. I say I’m a natural born citizen therefore I’m a native son.
I was born in America, thus a Native American.
I lived in Delaware, which is a tribe as well.
Therefore, I am a Native American of the Delaware Indian tribe.
Am I wrong for suggesting that, in this particular era, it might be better for Brown to teach its college students how to read and write before they offer a course in “mindfulness”?

I'm sure hordes of white students are lining up to enroll in this class. But do they realize that passing grades are only available to BIPOCs?
Works for me!
Just as Christians would get annoyed if a whole sect emerged that adhered to only ONE aspect of our Faith, Buddhists who know anything about their religion should be annoyed by the “Mindfulness” fad that has been introduced into Pop Psychology.
“Mindfulness” is only one practice out of “The Eightfold Path That Leads to Enlightenment.” There are seven others, most of which emphasize morality and ethics, such as “Right Thinking”, “Right Intentions”, and “Right Actions”. “Mindfulness” is way down near the bottom of the list.
Just as Christianity can not be separated from The Death and Resurrection of Jesus, or Yoga separated from Hinduism, or even Tai Chi from the Tao, “Mindfulness” can’t be separated from Buddhism without becoming a mockery of the religion of its origin.
Offering it as a College Course and then restricting admission on the basis of RACE is insulting to Buddhists, Asians, White People, Religion, and anyone stupid enough to sign up for the course.
And I’m sure that there were no “Right Intentions” involved in setting that whole thing up!
(For The Record, I am A Christian, but know a little bit about World Religions.)
Brown.....wouldn’t it be more inclusive if they changed the name to “University of Color”?
