"The most terrifying thing is it's teaching a generation of students that it's OK to force people to believe what you believe, if you believe you're right, and that's not what a free society is supposed to be about," said FIRE president Greg Lukianoff.

And yet it is we, the Christians in this country, who are most frequently accused of doing just this.

I’d give a nice speech if I was a student, whether freshman class or entering senior year, or even graduated already.

Ooooo, let’s play!

“1. When were you first made aware of your race?”

Kindergarten when some black kids called me names and took my treat money and called me names.

“2. When did you discover your sexual identity?”

School bus, kindergarten. Her name was Kelly. She was and still is beautiful.

“3. Who taught you a lesson in regard to some sort of diversity awareness? What was that lesson?”

Mom. She taught be I was no better than anyone else and I ws to treat everyone as I wished to be treated.

“4. When was a time when you confronted someone regarding an issue of diversity? What was the confrontation about? If haven’t, why not?”

I co-managed a pizza delivery. A skating rink wanted a pie delivered by a white driver. I told them to call Dominos.

“5. When was a time you felt oppressed? Who was oppressing you? How did you feel?”

I don’t know what “oppressed” would feel like. I do know what it feels like to be told “no”, though.

“6. Can you think of a time when someone was offended by what you said? How did that make you feel? How do you think it made them feel? How did his/her behavior change toward you?”

OK, that’s like 4 questions. I offend liberals those who pray to the gods of PC all the time. It makes me feel nothing. Behavior? The same.

I wonder if I need re-education.

To: Hey Kids!

You are abetting leftist adults in your own destruction. Keep it up and you can forget about growing up and doing things your way.. the right way, of course. Never expect to have cool stuff or go cool places. You are dooming your own kids.

Haven't you heard of rebellion? Why are you conforming, walking lock step with a bunch of dinosaurs? You're being sold down the river, rock the boat.

they were told to write down stereotypes of different ethnic and religious groups and publicly give their views on issues such as gay marriage and affirmative action.

Regardless of the fact that our once-great universities have been turned into communist re-education camps, it is simply bad manners to force people to insult each other in this way.

This is not new or unknown.

The Path to National Suicide by Lawrence Auster (1990)

An essay on multi-culturalism and immigration.

Click the Pic!!!!

Excerpt....

How can we account for this remarkable silence? The answer, as I will try to show, is that when the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 was being considered in Congress, the demographic impact of the bill was misunderstood and downplayed by its sponsors. As a result, the subject of population change was never seriously examined. The lawmakers’ stated intention was that the Act should not radically transform America’s ethnic character; indeed, it was taken for granted by liberals such as Robert Kennedy that it was in the nation’s interest to avoid such a change. But the dramatic ethnic transformation that has actually occurred as a result of the 1965 Act has insensibly led to acceptance of that transformation in the form of a new, multicultural vision of American society. Dominating the media and the schools, ritualistically echoed by every politician, enforced in every public institution, this orthodoxy now forbids public criticism of the new path the country has taken. “We are a nation of immigrants,” we tell ourselves— and the subject is closed. The consequences of this code of silence are bizarre. One can listen to statesmen and philosophers agonize over the multitudinous causes of our decline, and not hear a single word about the massive immigration from the Third World and the resulting social divisions. Opponents of population growth, whose crusade began in the 1960s out of a concern about the growth rate among resident Americans and its effects on the environment and the quality of life, now studiously ignore the question of immigration, which accounts for fully half of our population growth.

This curious inhibition stems, of course, from a paralyzing fear of the charge of “racism.” The very manner in which the issue is framed—as a matter of equal rights and the blessings of diversity on one side, versus “racism” on the other—tends to cut off all rational discourse on the subject. One can only wonder what would happen if the proponents of open immigration allowed the issue to be discussed, not as a moralistic dichotomy, but in terms of its real consequences. Instead of saying: “We believe in the equal and unlimited right of all people to immigrate to the U.S. and enrich our land with their diversity,” what if they said: “We believe in an immigration policy which must result in a staggering increase in our population, a revolution in our culture and way of life, and the gradual submergence of our current population by Hispanic and Caribbean and Asian peoples.” Such frankness would open up an honest debate between those who favor a radical change in America’s ethnic and cultural identity and those who think this nation should preserve its way of life and its predominant, European-American character. That is the actual choice—as distinct from the theoretical choice between “equality” and “racism”—that our nation faces. But the tyranny of silence has prevented the American people from freely making that choice.

Materials from an August 2007 training session for Whole New World included articles that described a racist as "one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States . . . "
Another article said "white culture is a melting pot of greed, guys, guns and god. It is a deadly brew."

Wow.

Gilbert said the exercise was intended to help students "reflect on a number of things" and to become "critical thinkers," and would continue.

Great, now critical thinking = PC groupthink.

One student identified in a write-up as an RA’s “worst” was a young woman who said she was tired of having “diversity shoved down her throat” and that the questions that were being asked were nobody’s business.

Whoops .. I guess she gets the pink pills from now on . I’d like to meet the person who did this write up . Home schooling and on-line course work whenever possible bump .

On a positive note, University Freshman were not buying this Marxist garbage. If anything, the PC crowd revealed their stupidity to a cynical South Park aware youth. South Park episodes were no doubt compared to the re-education lessons.

1. When were you first made aware of your race?

I was born a poor black child.

I'd love to get the names/company of the people developing this material plus the people responsible for buying it for the education systems.

Possibly a few new conservatives were created as a result of this program.
