Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Just in time for the back to school season, it is once again time to indoctrinate the hearts and minds of our young people. Time to fill their heads with sweet smelling goo, and tell them it's good for them and will make them better people. Yes, yes, it will. :yesyes:
Why? Because...
I honestly couldn't believe this was true until I read it for myself. Yes, it was written a couple of years ago. But from what I've read, support for these principles has been longstanding at the University of New Hampshire, among faculty and students. This, combined with what's become the new political correctness policy at Harvard Law School and the University of California system, makes me glad that I was in school when I was and not now. This foolishness had just started when I was in school. But even then, I was once "invited" to stop coming to a certain history class and accept a B... or continue coming and see what happened. I had challenged something a fluff-headed associate professor had said and her remedy was to banish me. Unless you can kill me or eat me, why would I fear you? So I kept coming to her class. And she gave me a C. But that was fine by me. It gave me a new feeling of self-confidence that the only way for this professor, with a PhD, could counter a 19 year old country kid was to try to force me to be gone from her presence. She couldn't carry her own water. Weak! Her ideas were weak. Her logic was weak. And she was weak. But these days, I guess she could probably have me expelled for challenging the goddess of political correctness, for not being a good little comrade or some other such made up silliness. And these days, I'm sure the Dean or President would take her side (especially given who the president of my old school is now). And this new breed of politically correct thought police, straight from the pages of 1984, are even weaker than that fraud who chopped my grade.
So here is the sad tale of some PC Thought Police, who want to do their part in tearing down an institution of higher learning... one brick at a time. The university has, apparently, removed the link. But I seriously doubt that the attitudes at that university have changed one iota. God help us all.
The Bias-Free Language Guide
1. American Is Un-American According to the Guide
According to the language guide, which is published on The University of New Hampshire’s website, “American” is one of many questionable words that should no longer be used. The word American doesn’t recognize the existence of North Americans and South Americans, and therefore should be avoided, the guide states. Instead, U.S. citizen or “Resident of the U.S.” are preferred phrases.
I bet Sheryl Sandberg and Condi Rice paid for the paper for this foolishness to be written on. Yeah, right... Ban Bossy.
Where did these people come from?
