LSU administration as the (delusional) "woke" elite

This article is about how delusional wokeness has taken over the ruling elite in the United States, but it is definitely applicable to the LSU administration, which has sold out academic standards and principles of fairness in order to appease the bigoted "anti-racism" interests on campus. The LSU administration is desperately in need of adults in the room but is woefully lacking. Recent actions relating to the proposal for a required course to appease "anti-racism" interests and to the imposition of racially discriminatory faculty hiring practices shows that the LSU administration is out of control on racial matters.

quote:

Divisive, identitarian ideas around race, gender and sexuality have of course been gaining ground in elite circles for some time. The idea that Western societies are not simply affected by bigotry, but defined by it and built on it, had been gaining ground in academia for decades.

The rise of campus censorship and student intolerance is in many respects an off-shoot of this ideology, which holds that words wound and that free speech and reason are just covers for white domination – and which seems to generate Salem-like hysteria among its adherents.

Three posts and you show up with this? Are you from the Advocate and need more quotes for your article? Just look at the earlier thread on this from Mon.

We should implement a diversity policy in the NBA and NFL. 62% of the players have to be white.

I got pointed at and called a whore by the loon in LSU’s free speech alley MWF for a semester and I turned out okay.

I got called a fornicator plenty of times by a preacher with a bullhorn but that's nothing like what's going on today.

The woke left has replaced the fanatical religious right as America’s group who enjoys policing and telling other people how to live their lives.

New puritianism.

And I do not call them "elite." Groupthink isn't an elite characteristic.

I'm not reading that, but I feel like it is safe to assume it is just more feelings and emotions.

Students can be expelled for posting dissenting opinions on social media. Students who cheat to pass get remediation.

Zero tolerance y’all.

Yeah, I'm about done with them. I haven't watched much sports this year and I haven't missed them nearly as much as I thought.

I've seriously come to the conclusion that it is now better for donors, of all contribution level, to donate to community colleges or smaller universities, instead. True, those institutions may be just as "woke", but at least they are more accessible to alot more people, and they likely appreciate the donations much more than larger universities. It is also never a bad idea to keep your money in your own community whenever possible.

So, in short, consider donating to local community colleges or vocational programs. They are often underfunded and will appreciate the help. Your donation will also serve to give those in your community a leg up that can have a direct positive impact on you and your quality of life.

My daughter went to a small liberal arts college in New England, graduating a couple of years ago. Were there lots of liberals among the faculty and student body? Sure. But there was none of this kind of indoctrination BS. This has really taken an ugly and dangerous turn.
