“Now, more than ever, racial tensions are off the charts”

Ah, yes. The real successes of community organizing are being shown here (do I actually need the sarc?).

Yep, I stated it earlier.
Any criticism of their behavior or culture is “racist”.

I truly believe they are upset that their cultural behavioral tendencies are in the range of “unacceptable” to “criminal”.

According to Kenjus Watson, the organizer of the sit-in, one such correction was Professor Rust telling a student that she shouldn’t have capitalized ‘indigenous’ in her assignments. Kenjus claims this correction was ‘ideologically-motivated.’

I didn't know that the classification of adjectives from proper nouns was ideologically motivated.

The inmates took over the asylum many decades ago at our nation’s universities and institutions of lower... uh... higher learning.

Women were denied full rights far longer than blacks. The female student was right.

My grammar died in NC twenty years ago, after a slow decline due to dementia. Most young Americans lost theirs before they ever started.

Just one example out of perhaps a thousand: if I had a dollar for every time a student of mine “defiantly” believed something that s/he definitely believed, I could fund Jameis “There is no I in James” Winston’s signing bonus, and throw in a few crab legs at no extra charge.

Any standards must be based on cultural assumptions of what is right and wrong.

That cultural basis is “white”, Western, and Christian.

So any judgment of someone not conforming to rules or standards based on that culture is “racist”.

I understand their “reasoning”, but it’s based in the idea that the Western/Christian culture is not superior and should not dominate society.

By all means, just give all ‘people of color’ passing grades. Don’t even grade their “work.” Then when they graduate they can start their own record label or marry a Kardashian.

Precision in language is a major contributor to precision in thought.

Sooooo many of our young people can’t speak clearly and don’t think clearly.

I remember back in grade school I had to learn how to diagram a sentence. Today’s kids would just draw a blank.

How did the student get into college with poor grammy and spilling mistakes?

Because that’s the way all his teachers up to this point spoke and wrote.

BLACK PRIVILAGE : Afimitative action test scores, to let black students pass the test anyway inspite of the fact that they lack the skills to pass the test.

It is considered “ Racist “ to even speak the truth on all this, but yet ? There will be calls to help, and if the help does not come ? That’s racisit also.
