UCLA students protest in because professor corrected black students grammar

As Social justice warriors run out of meaningful things to make issues out of, you get crap like this. It will only get worse. "Progress" and "Change" have been turned into an ideologic industry that is always looking to further "change" and "progress".

To these morons, it is CHANGE that is the all important thing, rather than the actual, real-world content of the change. 60s envy is real, folks. Kids currently in college live in an America that is remarkably NOT in need of any major reform/protest movements, yet these young people want so much to carry the torch of hippies long dead.

Our idea of "reform" has gone from freedom rides throughout the south to register black people to vote, with the Ku Klux Klan and even many law enforcement authorities literally trying to inflict harm on us, to sitting in schoolrooms because a black student was corrected on his incorrect use of their/they're.

It's depressing to think about. We have gone from "I have a dream" to "gender specific bathrooms are gross discriminatory practices".

We have gone from a profound, sane recognition to prudent reform, to insanity from a grievance industry that is desperate to make ANYTHING an issue.

It's truly a spectacle, and many young people are infected with it.

This is the kind of thing to expect in the future now that we've followed the path of liberal lunacy and PC insanity. We have inmates running the asylum and a complicit media thats too afraid to call absurdity absurd for fear of being called racist.

Proper English is proper English and needs to be uses, whether on college papers or here (Kidding). You need to use subject and predicates and proper tense and agreement, plurals and possessive.

It is so wrong to say he gone, fifty cent, Willie car (no it's Willie's car) etc

This has nothing to do with race.

To me the irony is their statement was probably proof read by a white student. If their point is poor grammar is acceptable for minorities, I'd a expected something more along the lines of "we bez tired o gettin dissed gainst by the man."

I would really like to hear the rationalization of why these students did the right thing from this board's resident liberals.

I can't imagine anyone with any sense defending or rationalizing that silliness.

Ridiculous

I used to review a lot of reports and have been criticized for "not respecting their writing style."

You can't be fricking serious?

There's one English standard that needs to be achieved in college. It doesn't matter if you're blue, pink, white, purple, black, green, yellow, or any other color. Everyone should have to achieve those same standards. That's equality.....

My English and Grammar causes major challenges for myself, but I wanted no favors while going to college. I'll do my best while putting in the extra time it takes to achieve academic excellence. Actually made the Deans-list with a 3.75 GPA while taking ENC1101, POS2041, CGS1000, CTS1131 my first full-time semester ever. Shoot, our English professor made us write an essay our first day of class. He mentioned some students weren't ready for college so the college was trying to catch those students who need prep classes first. He mentioned he had never done this in 20 yrs of teaching, but HS students not being ready for college has gotten so bad lately (Last 10+ years). The college had to keep some students from hurting themselves before they're to far into the weeds. Hence an in-class-essay our 1st day of English class, like I wasn't nervous enough.....lol

I'm no academic expert but this article posted by the OP is messed up thinking.
