More hurt over calling illegals, "illegals."

It's the far-left progressive narrative. Every immigrant is just an immigrant regardless of whether they violated the law and committed a crime to get here (thus illegal) or not.

And YOU are a racist if you dare make the distinction too, by the way.

I saw yesterday that some now are demanding the removal of Woodrow Wilson from buildings at Princeton.
If people want only perfection, they'll never be satisfied.

i'm sure every historical figure from days, years or centuries ago would have something in their bio that would bother someone.
do we take down the american flag? every statue of every president ever? how far to go?
will this be a new cromwellian puritan wave with all icons removed and smashed?
some like to take things to extremes, i can't stand that.

Student Federation Acting President Romeo Ahimakin told the Ottawa Sun that the class has been put on hold until a way can be figured out "to make it better, more accessible and more inclusive to certain groups of people that feel left out in yoga-like spaces.

Does Romeo write for the Onion or something?

Bob, Honestly I haven't. Due to the nature of this thread, and my inability to fathom its abject absurdity, I've made the decision to self-identify as a woman of color - suffering from a crippling case of Yogaphobia, no less - in order to gain deeper insight and self awareness into the pain and horror of micro-aggression.

I have to tell ya it's time consuming - Try as I may, I can't seem to accumulate the requisite amount of one thousand paper cuts as yet.



As for the Ottawa Sun, I can only tell you that a simple google search of:

Student+Federation+Acting+President+Romeo+Ahimakin

Will yield a litany of additional sources, many of whom have conducted their own interviews with 'ole Romeo, not just simply a regurgitation of the Sun piece.


Be well, have a great Thanksgiving.

"This is Not a Day Care. It's a University!"

>>>It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love," Piper wrote in his post. "I'm not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic."

The post, however, wasn't meant to be directed at the student who raised the issue, Piper told NBC News. "This is not a message to my students per se ... This is a message to the broader community."

Piper said he doesn't support "the shouting down of a contrary idea rather than a civil and polite exchange disagreement" because he believes respectful discourse is a foundation of academia.

"A liberal arts academy is about learning. It's not supposed to be a place to suppress controversial ideas," Piper said. My point was to challenge my own industry — to look my academic peers in the eye and say: 'We've caused this.'" <<<

That was actually a really interesting read, because it went into the etymology of the word, which is in fact named after a person with the last name of Lynch. (Kind of like burke, though that's not nearly as well known).

Eh, just add the guy's first name and middle initial, like the students ask, and be done with it. Actually a better tribute to the guy, too, since it's not that uncommon a last name.

Oh My Gawd.

I need to buy stock in the adult diaper business...


How do you suggest this poor dear then deal with the identical microaggressions she most assuredly endures each waking moment?





Or...and I KNOW this is crazy talk, but hear me out....Hows about they just learn to grow the fuc1< up and learn to deal with the fact that sometimes sh1t isn't always responsible to make them feel special?

I know...crazy. WTF was I thinking?
