‘Feminist Geography’ Professor Argues Tall Buildings are Sexist

They aren’t?

Students and Professors Sign Petition to Remove ‘Offensive’ White Man Symbol From Crosswalk Signs

They don’t think the white man symbol is equal to all other colours? Seems a bit racist.

Rutgers Declares Grammar Racist

There is some truth to this, English isn’t standarised. Also, my ex girlfriend thought
because my grandma was (American) Indian that she should talk like a caveman. Boy, was she surprised with Grandma’s southern accent.

UCSB Teaching Assistant Says He Would ‘Assassinate Jesus’ if He Had a Time Machine

The Romans did that for him. (Not the whole “time machine” thing, though)

Oh how original. If I had a dollar for every time I read or heard in the past forty years about buildings being phallic symbols I’d have more gold than Solomon.

UCSB Teaching Assistant Says He Would ‘Assassinate Jesus’ if He Had a Time Machine

Ha. Try saying that about Mohammed. See what happens to you.

I’d rather be hewer of wood and drawer of water than have to put up with all this campus insanity.

This was actually a joke on The Office.

One of the employees was messing with Michael Scott and claimed the Men’s Room symbol was racist because it was painted white.

UConn Agrees to Pay ‘White Fragility’ Author $20K For 3.5 Hour Anti-Racism Lecture

“DiAngelo will receive $20,000 for her services, as well as up to $2,000 for lodging and travel, according to a copy of the contract obtained by Campus Reform. Additionally, DiAngelo will
“not accommodate phone calls related to services,” and if a phone call to DiAngelo is necessary, the school will be charged $320 per hour.”

Two quotes come to mind.

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
Mark 8:36

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”
Eric Hoffer

Institutions of “higher learning”? I question that! They seem to be more and more like another kind of “institution”.

1. Texas A&M Professor Says It Was ‘Good News’ Rep. Gohmert Got COVID, Hopes ‘Fat Klansman’ Trump Gets It Too | The Blaze

In a Facebook post, Texas A&M University professor Filipe de Castro called the late Republican Herman Cain “stupid” and said it was “good news” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R., Texas) was diagnosed with the coronavirus. Castro also said that he hopes President Donald Trump—whom he referred to as “fat klansman”—and Vice President Mike Pence get it too.

Yikes! I was no fan of Obama but always hoped and still do that he lives a long, happy and healthy life.

Not by the “Campus Insanity” group, and I’m not sure if it is just sensationalism, but judge for yourselves:

a Theology Professor compares a nun supporting trump to a nun supporting hitler and claims he was misunderstood and said

“I’m not generally in favor of removing tweets, but in the wake of such malicious misinterpretation, I figured it was the right move in this case,”

“Higher education”? Or lower devolution? Seems like so many are so infantile these days, when they aren’t acting like animals.

does this come across in his teaching?

Erik Loomis
He killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective. Tactically, that’s a different story. But you could say the same thing about John Brown.

I once again listed myself as “Alta Californian” for the US census.

For the rest of the household, I entered that the question and gathering of data was racist on that line . . .

ah, free speech on a college campus

Arizona State University’s school of journalism removed an incoming dean, deleted a Twitter poll about looting, and took down an interview with a police officer because the posts were deemed too friendly to police.
