Some demands...
Racial enrollment quotas for Black and Latino students to “at least 10 percent each”
• “Ensure that 47 percent of post-doctoral students are people of color”
• “Ban the use of ‘illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, wetback’ and any racially charged term”
• Mandate cultural competency and sensitivity training for professors
• “Ask staff/faculty to use students’ and employees’ preferred gender pronouns”
• Enroll more students in the country illegally (undocumented students); and provide them free legal assistance and financial aid
• Convert ethnic studies programs into full-fledged departments
• Incorporate into each department at least one queer studies class
• Increase the interdisciplinary academic focus on sexualities
• Enact curricular changes to force students to study social justice and marginalization in depth
• Provide gender-neutral bathrooms in every building on campus
• “Create a policy with serious consequences against hate speech/crimes”

The list of demands, written by “concerned Asian, Black, Latin@, Native, Undocumented, Queer, and Differently-Abled students,” include:
WTF does differently-abled mean?

“If the Dartmouth administration does not respond by the indicated time, those who believe in freedom will be forced to physical action,” the letter states. “As mentioned before, this proposal is not about interpersonal interactions, but about restoring justice in an institution beset with a history of discriminatory and oppressive practices.”
The Dean should just respond with "We've sent letters to your parents to cut your credit cards in two."

This is good news for my kids. I will steer them toward marketable college degrees and this simply lowers the competition after college.
<-----supports this initiative.

PC term for handicapped which is a PC term for crippled.

No shite, this is what happens when former hippys get rich and have kids.

I'm confused. They want the professors to take a sensitivity training class but they want every student to take a queer studies class. Isn't queer considered a bad name to call a gay person?

I wonder how much physical harm a 150lb pasty trust fund kid named Bentley can do?

Thanks. I suppose we went from cripple -> handicapped -> handi-capable -> differently-abled. Behold the beauty of PC where words lose their meaning.

No. Gay people use the term queer a lot. The 'F' word is what upsets them.

You could break a rib from laughing so hard when he comes at you.

Person saying it probably is so that makes it like the N word.

I suppose he could dash off a strongly worded email or two entitled "Feel my wrath!"

Sure. If you're in the protected class, you can call other members anything you want without repercussions.

Don't laugh. I once read a paper from an Indian Prof who said "Math is an artificial social construct by western culture designed to oppress indigenous peoples of the 3rd world."

Focus is on Big Bang at gay pride events.

I like this one. Now all females can enjoy the wrath of my epic thunder-chuds.
Oh, and all chicks have to pee standing up...sorry ladies.
