"If a nine-member review board of staff and students determines the College Republicans crossed the line, the group could be suspended and lose university funding and the privilege to meet on campus. It received $1,625 in university funds this year."
I think these Bake Sales are a brilliant idea.
Would it drive the point home more effectively if people had to pass an 'intelligence test' of some sort, in order to be 'rewarded' with a cupcake?
Are racial quotas really about money when it comes to getting into college? Isn't Affirmative Action's main goal to selectively lower the standards for certain races?
(Just asking. I really don't know a whole lot about the situation.)
I am confused about this. Why are they offended they are getting a cheaper cup cake? I would love that. How is this OFFENSIVE?
I read something that woman and blacks pay more for a car than white males. Maybe because we are not afraid to negotiate? They were OFFENDED that they were paying more.
I think these Bake Sales are a brilliant idea.
What would make them even better is if the organizers made sure that multiple ethnicities were represented as the sellers.
(This would really p.o. the libs.)
That way, it would clearly be a freedom of speech issue rather than a discriminatory one.
At the Univ. of North Texas, The Young Conservatives did an immigration event. People in orange t-shirts that had something like..../I'm an illegal immigrant' printed on them would go off on campus.
Other students could go get a button that said they were taking part in the program to track them down....
Kinda like a border patrol.
If they caught one of the people wearing the orange t-shirts....they could bring them back to the table and get a free candy bar.
It made the papers.
THE PROBLEM IS---the chairperson of the Denton County GOP, who has not been that good (Lincoln Day Dinner-biggest fund raiser- was an example of that this year), seems to want to distant the Denton GOP from the Young Conservatives.
She'll back the Young Republicans, many of which are in the Young Conservatives, but she seems to run from the Young Conservatives.
She is weak.
The smart minorities and women should have bought their cupcakes at the discount, and then pocketed a tidy profit by reselling them to hungry white guys at price below the original sellers "white guys price". White guys may not have been eager to buy from the "racist" vendors, but would have rushed to show their support for minorities and women (and for lower priced cupcakes) by supporting the fledgling women- and minority-owned businesses.
That's how it works in the real world. I have worked as a sub-contractor for minority owned business that could get set aside government work that I as a white male could not. The black owner had no idea how to do the job, so he just sub'ed it out to me. We were both happy and both made some money, but we also both knew that it was farce.
Well of course they were offended!!!
The women and minorities should have gotten FREE cupcakes and Whitey should have been paying a c-note. Duh!?
I have looked and cannot find the "unless you offend a liberal" exception anywhere in the First Amendment.
That's strange. I can't find that one in there either. My copy of the Constitution is also missing the "right to an abortion" and "right to sodomy" clauses. It must be defective.
"Hey you guys there's no thinking here, this is a college."
Following the interview, the GVSU president invited reporters to view the crucifix in a jar of urine display in the art building.
Shouldn't the white males be the ones complaining? Everyone else pays less.
