So now your garden-variety GYM COACH is going to be called a Kinesiology Facilitator, or some other such nonsense?
Then again, trash guys are now called Sanitation Engineers, so I guess it's par-for-the-course.
How about a quota of customers?
In order to buy a cookie there must be so much customer diveristy.
Thus if not enough women have bought cookies, no man can buy a cookie until more women buy a cookie. And NOBODY can buy a cokie until 2.7% admitted homosexuals form the customer group. (it would have to be per hour)
They could put up a quota tote board. Publicly proclaiming customer diversity goals. They could even put in a disclaimer indicating that under no curcumstance will a quota be adjusted to favor males or europeeeeean decent.
They forgot to include statistics on the comsumption of cookies,Zingers,and Twinkies by minorities.
"They're [the club] trying to say affirmative action is based on race, but it's not," said Juan Fortenberry, a kinesiology freshman.
Juan,you need one of Joaquin's fliers.
"So much racism is still in this country, and the government still has a responsibility to do something," she said.
The government's responsibility is to make sure that the government is free from racial discrimination.The government is the referee to disputes involving it's citizens,and it should be impartial.The real problem is the government once again taking restrictions on itself,and attempting to apply them to the people.Nobody has the right to tell me or any private citizen how they should perceive another.Discrimination laws should only apply to the government.Private citizens and businesses should not be subject to these laws.Any attempt to enforce anti-discrimination laws against the people must lead to tyranny.
Its something the student's mother can tell her friends! Sort of like describing her hooker daughter as a "social worker".
The numbskull that said this is a Republican????
Whatever happened to merit?
It's more hopeless than I thought.
You are probably making a light hearted sarcastic remark which would make the following inappropriate but, just in case....
How would affirmative action contribute to achieving parity? I suppose that depends on what you define as parity.
Success is inner motivated. A college degree verifies a person has been exposed to a certain amount and kind of material. Grade inflation has eliminated its ability to predict "education". Whether as person is able to attend a school of his choice is unimportant. He can always get into a school somewhere. Even lacking that, there are libraries and the internet where information on everything imaginable. If a person desires and education he can get it. If not, affirmative action may get him a job through intimidation and quotas, probably in a government job, but I don't know if that is what you refer to as parity.
Regardless, a person who desires success can achieve it, no matter the circumstances.
"Many of them approached the booth screaming and accusing the club of being racist. "
Because the prices for them were still too high?
