    "...Some of the most bizarre and dysfunctional behavior in
    America these days takes place on college campuses. Last
    year student protesters on the University of
    California-Berkeley campus physically prevented white
    students from accessing their classes and the Student
    Union Building to study. Incredibly, protesters declared
    UC-Berkeley was their university, even going as far as
    issuing a "notice of eviction" to white students before
    demanding that university officials create [safe] "spaces
    of color" for non-white students.

    But what if I told you that some colleges are starting to
    take on an eerie likeness of Jim Crow-styled segregation?
    In fact, there are so many examples of racially segregated
    dances, student housing facilities, and commencement
    ceremonies, it's hard to keep up. Vanderbilt, UC-Davis,
    Cornell, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and scores
    of other prominent institutions are aggressively
    practicing identity politics.

    There are far more egregious examples of the new
    segregation, too. Students around the nation have demanded
    no-whites-allowed "safe spaces" for blacks. The University
    of Minnesota offers a "Tongues Untied" program that
    excludes straight people and whites, according to Campus
    Reform. And it was reported in 2015 that a NYC school was
    asking third-graders their race and then dividing them
    into "affinity groups" (i.e., racial groups) for racial
    tolerance training.

    Of course, this doesn't come out of nowhere: The San
    Francisco-based Pacific Educational Group (PEG) - which
    devises materials for taxpayer-funded teacher training -
    actually recommends formulating student groups based on
    race.

    PEG tells the educators that minority kids frequently
    have a "different value and view on time, missed days,
    working together, and wait time between questions and
    answers," Gunn continues. Consequently, teachers should
    "'be flexible' with minority students who are persistently
    late or miss a lot of school days [and should] be tolerant
    if black children exhibit 'an exuberant participation
    style of shouting out answers and questions.'"

    Gunn further informs, "According to PEG, white culture is
    based on 'white individualism' or 'white traits' like
    'rugged individualism,' 'adherence to rigid time
    schedules,' 'plan(ning) for the future,' and the idea that
    'hard work is the key to success.'"

    What's so tragic about this is that by labeling
    success-oriented behaviors - or, more precisely, virtues
    and their sub-categories - "white," these "educators" are
    encouraging vice in minority children. Years ago it was
    only jealous peers who'd apply this destructive social
    pressure, telling studious, academically successful black
    students that they were "acting white." Now this attitude
    has the imprimatur of authority figures."

    • haha this is brilliantset
    • What is described above as “white traits” I always just viewed as the standard American ones, race aside. So odd.monospaced
    • I suppose those people would say that is my unconscious bias. FFS this has gone too far.monospaced
    • none of them are angrily insisting on any of those proposals. They're meekly going along with what he's leading them to say for fear of offending someone whileFax_Benson
    • while being filmed. Criticism of then left is essential - as it's mostly incapable of doing it itself - but this is a dumb, manipulative exampleFax_Benson
    • "They're meekly going along with what he's leading them to say for fear of offending someone"... Ummm EXACTLY? Thats the whole point, lolset
