Political correctness devours yet another college, fighting over mini-sombreros

[The Tradition]

No they don't. Lots of private groups exclude and discriminate and are flourishing.

Not if they're "open to the public".... even the HBCs don't require you to be black to go there.

Private clubs aren't open to the public. If they are open to the public they aren't private clubs. This school isn't open to the public. Look how big government you cons are over little hats.

Yes, BLM is free to be racist. So are you. The public library isn't. That perfectly illustrates the point.

Of course it's open to the public. Potential students are invited to apply.

Liberals should seriously worry about the influence the SJW's have among them. It is only going to continue to grow.

Says the poster who uses labels like SJW.

They are also free to be disliked and disregarded. Just like their KKK counterparts.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Wingers like Fran live in a continual state of paranoiac delusion fostered by the brainwashing effects of living in the wingnut echo chamber of hatred and lies to the exclusion of realistic sources of information. They're continually conditioned into a victim mentality. Fortunately, there is a cure. A few weeks or months away from the chamber oftentimes leads to a return to sanity and reality. Of course, the first, and most difficult, step is for them to admit they have a problem and to seek the help they so desperately need.

Are you sure about that?

From my observation the withdrawal symptoms are so severe that they never manage to stay away for more than a few days.

I fear what many of the brainwashed need is attention from the kind of folks who used to deprogram kids who were ensnared by cults. Or maybe we need withdrawal clinics for rightwingers. But how can you provide that for 50 million Americans?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

My point is that yes, I think that political correctness has gone too far when wearing a sombrero at a tequila party gets someone in trouble, and that kids can't play dodgeball on the playground. But to swing the pendulum so far back the other way that the answer is Donald Trump? Can't we find somewhere in the middle where we agree that not everything is offensive, while also not deliberately trying to offend?

I'm late to this, um, fiesta. Have now scanned the thread - except for the comments from the worst idiots.

While I've enjoyed the frivolity, you seem to be the only person who is getting this right.

When I read the article, I felt like most here. Sounds like the school admin overreacted.

I found myself wondering what they were thinking. So I reskimmed the article for that. Nothing. Just a statement that the admin declined to respond to the article's author.

So then I wondered about the author. I went to the original article, clicked on her name and looked at some of her other work. So, for example, I learned that she thinks Trump and Sanders are similar. I skimmed that piece. Very hard to take seriously someone who can't think any better than that.

Makes me wonder what we are missing in this story. To be more precise, makes me wonder what we are missing that a good journalist would have reported.

Also makes me wonder - again - WTF is happening to the Washington Post.

 

[Hawk and Awe]

Blathering anything that comes to mind before thinking about it isn't what I think of when I think about free speech. And Trump sues anyone that says anything bad about him. He's on record saying how much he enjoys suing people for libel, even when what they're saying is 100% true.

This post seemed to get ignored and probably because it completely shuts down the notion that Trump is the answer to the "PC problem" this country is facing.

Being a loudmouth biggot is not an appropriate response to "PC".

People routinely ignore me when I correct their mistakes.

What happens when we run out of safe spaces?

Open season on pussies?
