This is the kind of thing that turned Toddy from Democrat to Conservative.

Good times...

And to think this school once went to war with the federal govt and shot federal marshals from campus buildings over one black man being allowed admission

The societal requirement that we participate in the delusions of others is a hard no for me, dawg.

As someone who works in higher ed in Mississippi, I can tell you that this is going to be shut down fairly quickly.

The Ole Miss DEI office got in a public spat with our State Auditor, and he won. There may be remnants of this sort of thing, but they will be dealt with.

The Chancellor at Ole Miss is a good one, and is anti-woke. He doesn't approve of everything that is printed and distributed, but I'd guess the person who approved and distributed this has been shitting bricks the last couple days.

I think its a good thing that it got exposed and embarrassed Ole Miss a little bit. The next class of Freshman Studies won't see it.

Judging by the students reaction to the Palestinian protestors earlier this year I don’t think these dei efforts are working.
Side note I find it interesting that autocorrect changes dei to die.

This is the exact opposite advice a good therapist should give you. Like if you’re anorexic should your therapist tell you “Yeah, you’re right. You are a fat pig even though you weigh 85 pounds soaking wet. So stop eating!”

Hahaha, its not just ole miss. Also, all these schools that claimed they shut down their DEI offices, did not do that. They changed the name of it to Inclusive Excellence. Go look at see how many universities have offices of Inclusive excellent


Which is why in Trump’s policies I say that he should force every publicly funded university to fire everyone who had ever worked for the DEI office at any point in their career because all they’ll do is change the name of the department.

If he didn’t, he should fire everyone involved immediately.

Oxford seems like a very liberal town. Why else would virtue-signaling soy betas like those two guys from the "True South" show choose to live there?

When my mother was a freshman at Ole Miss, all students received a rebel flag with their books from the bookstore.

Now you get some sweet literature on pronouns.

Sad.

Quite the evolution. Barely 60 years ago they were fighting the national guard in the streets just to keep ONE black, veteran taxpayer from attending.

Microaggressions is the single most dogshite term used in university these days.

It's a way of saying "you didn't cross the line, but you're not like me, and I don't like that- so I want to censor you anyways."

A few years ago they tried this at Georgia Southern.

The students gathered the books and burned them in protest.

The school switched the class from mandatory to optional.

Has the state of the country gotten bad enough, and the boot on the neck of straight white men gotten uncomfortable enough, that state fans will cease their pot shots at Ole Miss for being racist?

When that day comes I’ll know the time to take to country back has arrived. I suspect that day has not come yet though
