Geee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Woke-ification capitalization at Georgetown U. If you are already having trouble keeping up with what sorts of offenses, or even mere “microaggressions,” are enough to “trigger” people to “cancel” you for your “whiteness” or other attitudes of “privilege,” well, Georgetown University has invented new sins you weren’t even aware of committing. Georgetown Magazine, the school’s publication primarily for alumni, has gone so “woke” that caffeine and amphetamines are soporifics by comparison.

Geee Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Johns Hopkins Medicine staff given roadmap to navigate dozens of pronouns: ‘faerself, ve, xe" Employees at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Maryland were given a new pronoun usage guide that lists dozens of pronouns include "aerself" and "faerself" while staffers navigate a recent inclusive ID policy, Fox News Digital has learned. A pronoun usage guide from Johns Hopkins Medicine details 50 different pronouns that health care employees could use in the workplace, with other options including ve, xe, per and ae. The guide includes examples of how to use the pronouns, such as: "Ae cleaned the office all by aerself," or "I gave faer the key." The guide also shows how to use titles correctly, such as using "Mr." for men, "Miss" for women, or "Mx." for "nonbinary or gender diverse people." The guide comes alongside policy that went into effect last year allows workers to use their legal names on badges and can opt for a name that fits with their gender identities.

Geee Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 CUNY Law dean who applauded ‘hate-filled’ commencement speaker developed race-related courses at last post The dean of CUNY’s law school, who was among those to applaud the recent “hate-filled” commencement speech delivered by a graduate, spearheaded the creation of a race-related coursework requirement at her last job. Before being tapped as head of CUNY’s law school last July, Sudha Setty — who has a history of advocating for “social justice lawyering” — spent four years leading Western New England University’s legal faculty in Massachusetts and another 12 years as a faculty member. In her role there as dean, Setty was behind the establishment of the “Antiracism and Cultural Competency” graduation requirement for the university’s students. The graduation requirement, which was adopted by the law school in April 2021, included courses that were titled “Race, Racism & the Law” and “Business Law from an Antiracist Perspective.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 University of Colorado Warns Students to Be Woke, Calls Misgendering 'an Act of Violence' Are you a violent person? You might be, depending on your language. Such is the situation according to the University of Colorado. The school’s Boulder campus hosts a Pride Office, which has laid out limits related to speech. Per the official page on pronouns, to respect someone is to do as they demand with your words — when they aren’t around: Pronouns are one of the ways we portray our identities. When a person asks you to use their pronouns, they are asking for you to respect their identity. Though pronouns are generally used in someone’s absence, that person will somehow sense your syllables: When someone refers to another person using the wrong pronouns, especially on purpose, that can lead to that person feeling disrespected and can lead to dysphoria, exclusion and alienation.

Geee Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Are High School Debates Rigged Against Conservative Teens? keep rereading James Fishback’s essay on high school debate. Published May 25 in the Free Press, he called out the national circuit of high school debate for being partisan, polarized, and punitive toward any students with sane, moderate, or conservative arguments. In a way, he’s right. I’ve coached students at the Durham Academy Cavalier Invitational in Durham, North Carolina, and at several of the Ivy League–hosted high school debate tournaments (Princeton, Harvard, Duke); all these are on the “NatCirc” level of competition. Such competition provides excellent opposition and favors a set of techniques and arguments that belong more to technical (also called “progressive”) debate than the images of high school debate conjured up by parents, school administrators, and other non-involved supporters. It’s that side of NatCirc competition that Fishback reveals. And, like any polemic based on cherry-picked examples, he makes a compelling case that national circuit debate is corrupt and unhelpful to actual human discourse. I’ve had students come back to the team “base camp” area to tell me that the judge said, “Your arguments were good, but I’m a Marxist, so you lose.” I’ve judged on panels where I’ve been the lone voice willing to consider an argument on the resolution; my fellow judges just wanted to know if the Affirmative had made the correct response to a Negative claim that “the time allotment for the Negative skews the whole debate in favor of the Affirmative, so vote the Negation to restore justice.” The problems that Fishback identifies are real, and they extend beyond partisan politics to ignoring the actual purposes of debate.

Geee Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 ‘Embarrassed’ by patriotism: Scholars explain why civics education is failing Without a proper education in citizenship … we will not have self-rule,’ historian said Reacting to recent data on many students’ ignorance of U.S. history, scholars pointed to the shortcomings of education from grade school through college. Historian and Hillsdale College Professor Wilfred McClay told The College Fix in an email that history is taught in a distorted way. Teachers and professors over-emphasize America’s shortcomings without due regard for the nation’s founders and institutions. “We are embarrassed by the very idea of patriotism,” McClay said. “[We] have ceased to believe that love of one’s country, of what is one’s own, and gratitude for the forbears who made our present prosperity and freedom possible, is something that formal education should be inculcating and reinforcing.” Only 13 percent of eighth-graders in public school scored proficient or above in U.S. history on the 2022 National Assessment for Education Progress, according to data released by the National Center of Educational Statistics earlier this month. The average history score dropped from 263 in 2018 to 258, continuing a downward trend that began after 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charmayne "Charli" Champion-Shaw, a lecturer for the public university’s Native American & Indigenous Studies department, put up the anti-Christian display last October where it remained in the hallway for the entire school year, according to reports. The bulletin board display, titled "Understanding Christian Privilege," provided students, faculty and guests with a visual lesson in the inherent societal advantages that all Christians allegedly have.

Quote The papers declared that other religions are "marginalized" because of *Christianity’s outsized presence in Western civilization. They added, **"As a result, other religions or attitudes about religion are marginalized, overlooked or ignored altogether, or even perceived as troubling, problematic, or suspicious." * Might that be because Christianity (actually Judeo Christianity) is the foundation of Western Culture/Society? **60-70 years ago this MIGHT have been valid. Anytime in the last 20-30(?) years not so much. How much you want to bet Charmayne Champion-Shaw will never publicly debate this? These people never (Rarely) do. And for a very good reason. No one likes to be publicly made a fool of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Biden Admin Gave University Over $2M For ‘Monitoring Microaggressions’ The National Institutes of Health has, since September 2021, been funding a $2.2 million program at the University of Miami examining how "microaggressions" affect "Black cisgender queer women" who have HIV. According to a grant listing from the Department of Health and Human Services, the program, known as Monitoring Microaggressions and Adversities to Generate Interventions for Change, seeks to discover how "comments, jokes, and behaviors that are demeaning to a marginalized group" affect health outcomes. Queer black women with HIV "live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities and within social structures that take a daily toll," the grant description states. However, the impact of microaggressions on this group has "largely been ignored." The program is supervised by Sannisha Dale, an associate professor of psychology, who chairs the department’s Diversity and Equity Committee.

The teacher added: “There is actually three biological sexes because you can be born with male and female body parts or hormones” and “there are lots of genders – there is transgender, there is a gender who are people who don’t believe that they have a gender at all.” The students disagreed, telling the teacher, “if you have a vagina you’re a girl and if you have a penis you’re a boy.” The teacher then interjected, raising their voice to say that while the students may consider being cisgender the “norm” it is not the law. “You are talking about the fact that cisgender is the norm, that you identify with the sexual organ you were born with. That’s basically what you’re saying, which is really despicable.” The teacher then suggested that the girls were homophobic or confused – claims they quickly denied. “If you don’t like it you need to go to a different school,” the teacher replied, adding that she was going to report the students. “You need to have a proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion because I’m not having that expressed in my lesson.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayley Feland June 20, 2023 Concerned parents and taxpayers read excerpts of sexually-explicit books to members of the Brainerd school board last week, leaving some members of the board visibly uncomfortable. (Brainerd Public Schools/YouTube) Concerned parents and taxpayers read excerpts of sexually-explicit books to members of the Brainerd school board last week, leaving some members of the board visibly uncomfortable. “It’s verbal porn,” a grandmother of three students said. Each of the seven presenters during the public comment portion of the meeting expressed their outrage over the availability of sexually-explicit materials in a library meant for 5th-8th grade students. (Snip) “You’re on notice to remove all sexually-explicit materials from the school district libraries and classrooms,” another speaker told the board. When Kevin Boyles, the board chair, attempted to move on from the public comment without addressing the concerns, Dondelinger told him to “hold on a second.” He told Boyles that he would like to make a motion to discuss the book at the next board meeting. “Something needs to be done,” Dondelinger said. “I’m shocked. We need to dig in and find out what the hell’s going on.” He then proceeded to ask if “this stuff is accessible to fifth graders” and was told by the room of concerned citizens that yes, it was.

Geee Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Christian College Turns Students Into Drag Queens, Tells Them It's 'Violence' to Ask if Someone Is a Guy Texas isn’t historically known for its drag queens, and neither are Christian colleges. But the two are combining to flaunt fabulousness. Texas Christian University’s (TCU) Women and Gender Studies webpage advertises an alluring educational initiative: a Queer Art of Drag course. Per the school, eccentric female impersonators ooze awesomeness to obliterate oppression: Drag is an art form with a rich history of challenging dominant norms and systems of oppression; building queer community; and cultivating experiences of queer joy in a hostile world… But it’s likewise been employed for evil, in conjunction with a word that may or may not exist: “logics.” [D]rag has also been deployed in service of violent ideologies and can sometimes participate in harmful normative logics. Critical drag explores drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer world-making. The college is draped in drag… TCU offers many opportunities to learn more about drag, including courses, articles, performances, and lectures. Examples: Critical Drag Symposium 2019 Maria von Clapp & LaShawnah Tovah Read AIDS Poetry 2021 TCU’s Annual Night of Drag Show 2019-2022 Not the least of the offerings is Spring 2023’s The Queer Art of Drag, taught by “Dr. Nino Testa, he/him (aka Maria von Clapp, she/her).” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
