College Demands Construction Crew Remove ‘Sexist’ ‘Men Working’ Sign
National Review ^ | December 3, 2012 | Eliana Johnson

Posted on 12/03/2012 1:20:11 PM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

A construction crew working on the campus of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College was forced to halt work until it removed a “Men Working” sign that was deemed “sexist” by a college administrator. A spokesman for the college told National Review Online that the incident, which occurred on November 21, stemmed from the school’s “deep commitment to diversity,” and that it takes that commitment “very seriously.”

It’s been reported that there are actually restrooms on campus with doors labeled “Men”.

The worker's don't care. They're on the clock whether the sign is up or not...and the community college is being billed for it.

After all this time and having seen so many examples, I remain astonished at the stupidity of people like this "administrator".

Fine, let the crew pick up the sign and walk away.

No, but CBS just might start showing “The Late Show with David Letterperson.”

And the Broncos’ current QB will be changing his name to Peyton Personning.

I emailed helpdesk@sinclair.edu asking for the name of the administrator who demanded the sign be removed. I suggest a few million other Freepers do the same. The only way radical leftists can be silenced is via the same intimidation tactics they use against us. If Sinclair responds-which I doubt—I’ll post the name of this lib, PC clown. The NAtional Review should have done that in the first place.

Were there any women working? If not, the demand to change it is sexist and stupid.

UNC announced it will stop using the term “freshman” for the same idiotic reason.

I’m sure that there is a law/statute that requires signage for construction sites. In which case, after the sign was removed, work should have stopped, until the law was changed.

This reads like a joke, but unfortunately it probably isn’t.

53% of Americans ARE THIS STUPID.

By the way, when you see a Men working sign htat is usually what is happening, If a woman is on site she is the flag person.
