Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” "male," and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students.
According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.”
The punishment for repeatedly using the banned words, Breikss warns, includes “but [is] not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and— in extreme cases— failure for the semester.”
Breikss is not the only WSU faculty member implementing such policies.
Much like in Selena Breikss’s classroom, students taking Professor Rebecca Fowler’s “ Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies” course will see their grades suffer if they use the term “illegal alien” in their assigned writing.
According to her syllabus, students will lose one point every time they use the words “illegal alien” or “illegals” rather than the preferred terms of “‘undocumented’ migrants/immigrants/persons.” Throughout the course, Fowler says, students will “come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.”

Many people advocate for the elimination of the Department of Education. I take the approach. Put a hard-core conservative in as Secretary and eliminate all this nonsense. Go back to the traditional role of education, or lose all the federal money.
I can imagine any sane person taking those “classes”
That should be: can’t
People taking this class prolly embrace the white priviledge.
Tuition is going up to fund this crap.
Any protests?
And the Second, if necessary ...
Unless the criteria these nimnuls intend to use in assigning grades based on student speech are clearly spelled-out in their course syllabi, they’re inviting a peck of problems if they try it.
The students signing up for these classes are kind of asking for it.
Multi cultural classes are requirements to graduate now.

Looking forward to seeing their campus network infrastructure go dark because the IT dept. can figure out how to order and adapter cable.
May I suggest “foreign invader”?

That episode is what we need out in the pop culture. Especially in this time of Bernie Sanders rising. :P
An out and out Communist, and people love him!
Very cool! I didn’t know that pic was from a video or that it was MLP related...it just reminded me of that episode.
Even without this traipse into insanity, why would anyone attend these classes ?
NEWSPEAK
That’s an excellent video.
(As an aside, I’ve seen good immigrant families go through horrible experiences trying to adapt to an American culture that is just not natural for them, and for which they were not culturally prepared.)
