How many more miles are left in the politically correct/racism tank?

I just found out that my work will require "diversity training" (similar to Clemson's, I imagine) in which attendance and punctuality will be seen as racially sensitive issues.

Progs are seriously overplaying their hand if they think this is gonna work. I realize they play long ball and are all in for using racism as far as it will go, but they don't reckon on the inevitable backlash and the integrity of people who won't bow to the bullshite.

Clemson ‘Diversity’ Training: Time Is Culturally Relative, Expecting Promptness Is Racist


quote:

Clemson University’s ‘diversity education and training” teaches employees that every “cultural perspective regarding time” is equally valid, so it’s wrong to expect people to be prompt. Clemson is spending $26,945 on “diversity education and training” for its faculty members, Campus Reform reports: “Clemson President James Clements pledged that ‘all employees will participate in diversity education and training,’ last April, in order to create a more inclusive environment on campus.” In one slide, employees are taught that tardiness is acceptable because the concept of time is culturally relative. Thus, every culture’s perception of the actual time must be respected - since one “cultural perspective regarding time is neither more nor less valid than any other.”

I think Trump's 2016 campaign moved the Overton Window so far that it's dead on the vine for at least the next 5-10 years.

In other sectors, maybe . . . in academia, they are battening down the hatches and going full throttle libtard. These people are vicious and getting more so everyday.

Been going on well over 50 years and doesn't seem to be losing steam.

I guess my real question is about the end result. Contrary to others, I seriously doubt we are "indivisible" as a nation; I think the division may be a permanent thing.

Under that that train of "logic" wouldn't required attendance be equally as sensitive? Didn't the slave masters order everybody around? Why wouldn't requiring attendance be on an equal footing with requiring promptness?
And as long as we are staggering down that merry path, why isn't adherence to any directive insensitive? Why must we continually be subject to the dictates of another person's concept of time, space and obedience?

nature of tyranny/statism . . . logic and and functioning sense of order are not applicable in their mind . . . only the dictates of "ends justify the means"

Actually, it's kind of become the new welfare state. "Education" is now a monolith unto itself. People use government loans and subsidies for not only "school," but their entire lives. And by these people, I mean individuals who have absolutely NO business being anywhere near a college.

Progressive Democrats are truly racist to the core. They think so lowly of other races that this is what they have sunk to.

It's cultural Marxism.

Accepted tardiness is another step towards communism.

They're pushing it up a steadily increasing incline.

I'm rather progressive, and recognize racism is still a problem in this country and likely always will be, but these corporate diversity training classes are so dumb. I had to go to one once and it was a complete waste of time.

As long as Colleges, Universities, Media Conglomerates, the LBGTXYZ's, and Snowflakes treat it like a religion, it isn't going anywhere.

The problem for them, though, is that these institutions are fragmenting or imploding. The student loan bubble is about to burst and the MSM is losing its hegemony.

They'll find new institutions I'm sure. But as technology continues its destruction of art and media (and intellectual interface), I'm curious as to how long their influence can last.

Where did political correctness touch you?

According to poli-tards, the over-utilization of PC is the greatest issue of our time. Get over it. Some people are overly sensitive about things.....kinda' like you.

Glad to see you branching out from your daily hatred for Trump.
