It’s hard to figure out what to make of the people in this story. Should these people be laughed at or pitied?
Recently a group of 25 self-described “Students of Color” held a sit-in to support poor English writing skills. They whined about the “racism” of being offered constructive criticism of their lack of grammar, spelling and punctuation abilities.
As products of dysfunctional government schools, many if not all of them have little or no writing skill. Many of them don’t know they have no writing skills. They have been lied to and had their heads patted so often by paternalistic liberals they can no longer recognize the truth about their shortcomings.
We can expect little else from students who have never been dealt with honestly.
What makes this situation still more ridiculous is that the target of their protest was...

Hmmm. Are the Asian students treated similarly?
Then it can’t beez raysis.
I quit; I’m no longer going to care anymore and I’m going to train myself to stop feeling sorry for them. I give up.
I think that before every NCAA football and basketball game, the players should be required to read a few paragraphs from the newspaper. If they can’t read it, they don’t play!!
They hate “White” culture and don’t think they should be made to learn anything about it.
They want to continue to wallow in self-pity and blame Whitey for their self-inflicted pathologies.
They want jobs in spite of their lousy English.
Too stupid to know that they are stupid.
They are much smarter than I was when I entered university.
They are bi-lingual, I was not.
Where are you Carl Jefferson?
I’m hoping you are a now not just a Bruin but a Freeper as well and will read and respond to this foolishness flowing from your Alma Mater.
What difference does it make? (To quote the smartest grifter-wench in the world.)
After all, what sane HR person hires a UCLA grad anyway?
(Excluding the STEM departments, of course.)
vaudine
Are they bi-lingual? Or semi-lingual?
“I think that before every NCAA football and basketball game, the players should be required to read a few paragraphs from the newspaper. If they can’t read it, they don’t play!!”
I meant to write “read a few paragraphs from the newspaper out loud.”
"Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help."
If they can’t even use rudimentary grammar correctly, they’re certainly not ready for university studies and should be dismissed “without prejudice” from UCLA (which was once known for being a pretty good college).
There are a thousand high school continuation programs in California, plus 120 community colleges where they go take some remedial English courses. They don’t have to be, should not be... occupying seats at the University, seats which could, should go to people who ARE prepared for university level studies. (Note that, other than these exceptions, only the top-ranked students are even considered for admission to UC....there are thousands of rejected applicants who’d love (and who are ready) for the opportunity to attend UCLA...but for all these seats being taken up by folks who are obviously NOT prepared to be there.)
From the GZ trial(farce) “That’s retardet sir.”.
Nah they just want money
I have a friend who is a professor in Queens College in NY, he asked me to read several essays from his students. These kids should never have made it to high school, never mind college.
"Social Justice Education is an interdisciplinary concentration of study with a focus on social diversity and social justice as they apply to formal and non-formal [sic] educational systems. It uses and generates research and theory to understand the sociocultural and historical contexts and dynamics of specific manifestations of oppression (e.g., ableism, classism, heterosexism, racism, religious oppression, transgender oppression and sexism) in social systems...
Good Point. I think it depends on who you ax?
