Turnabout is, in fact, fair play when it comes to racism.
I was disgusted to read this. It’s as if we have learned nothing about diversity and actual performance. The whole point of inviting diversity in organizations was that we were excluding the best performers from some minorities.
Now, performance not only isn’t desired, it is actively ignored if paying it attention leads to something other than a predetermined outcome.
At some point the national guard will be called out to protect a white student hoping to attend one of these stupid institutions in the face of vocal resistance, and we will have come full circle.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=7980]What do you think of Sherrod Brown of Ohio? I suppose he’s too moderate. Not gonna be Newsome after that debate w/ DiSantis as well as a $68 billion deficit. Maybe John Fetterman’s transformation will continue. 🤔[/quote]
I think at this point I would even vote for Fetterman if he ran. His candidacy, although against a carpetbagging Dr. Oz, represented a major jump the shark moment in politics. The guy literally is disabled from stringing a few sentences together and refuses to honor his office by donning slacks.
I’d vote for him just to see what could happen next.
(no, not really).
As for Biden, he is not only past his sell by date, which we have been saying for years, he’s now thoroughly outed as a power mad grifter who has grown wealthy on the backs of the U.S. citizenry. I truly hope he goes down in disgrace.
Funny people like to point at Trump as the analog for Biden, but here’s the thing: Trump was a grifter from the start, but not by selling out the Citizens of the U.S. en masse. Trump did it the honest way: With bad products and good lawyers.
It’s now pretty clear that Biden would sell his grandmother if it meant his family “Brand” got a little more burnish.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Trump would not be the end of the world.
The opposition to Trump’s second administration might very well be.
Keep in mind that most of the riots and some of the lockdowns were ginned up by Trump’s opposition to kill the economy and the obvious momentum Trump had. Prior to the pandemic, most people viewed Trump as unbearable. Pelosi and crew engineered massive civil unrest in the midst of a pandemic to change the narrative.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Here’s what I think:
The closer your institution is to the globalist agenda, the less free speech. So, it stands to reason that Harvard, which is the most globalist of globalist institutions by virtue of being possibly the best college in the world, is the least free because it actively courts people from countries (China) that are not free.
Oregon State, on the other hand, probably serves and graduates students to serve largely American interests. Therefore its hierarchy isn’t handcuffed by the globalist anti-freedom movement.
One man’s guess.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Gotta admit, the professor made a number of bad choices that probably mean he shouldn’t teach at Stanford again, but discussing the topic and provoking discussion isn’t necessarily one of them.
- He should not have singled out students for their identity
- He should have been more sensitive so as not to discuss an emerging war that has very little factual underpinning in the news. Timing was really bad.
But I actually am not bothered by the provoking of discussion via smart-aleck responses that might reflect the knee-jerk reactions of others. Even the comment “only 6 million” can be said effectively and widely misconstrued as absolutely inappropriate. I could easily hear a very provocative professor using that as a tool for challenging students to think as broadly as possible.
I completely disagree with the comparison of the Holocaust to the Belgian Congo, but can see it as a point of discussion and debate.
I guess I’d have to have heard the facilitation approach. I often use a facilitation approach that is very adversarial in my professional life, and can assure you I don’t always hold the beliefs that I speak to in some sessions.
