American Silliness: Dec 20, 2017

University teaches white employees how to overcome the ‘discomfort’ of being white  . . . "to help white employees deal with their “whiteness” so they could become better equipped to fight for social justice causes, according to organizers."

Student suspended for debating Islamic extremism with Muslim peer in debate club  . . . "A Missouri high school that suspended a student for making critical comments about Islamic extremism says he’s not allowed to appeal the finding of wrongdoing." . . .

The free speech movement of the early sixties might sound good these days, but it had more in common with today's SJW's than one might hope.

Prof: Trigger warnings 'serious threats' to teaching English  . . . "In a list of six possible consequences of trigger warnings, he argues that they “foster a culture where student fragility is promoted over the development of resilience,” and can “encourage students to avoid intense literary moments that they may perceive as too powerful.”
"Trigger warnings could also “handicap English teachers by censoring or casting certain literary moments as taboo,” and cripple “artistic freedom by arbitrarily sanctioning what is and what is not appropriate for class discussion and student experience,” he notes." . . .

First the statues, now the trees. 

Parents pull kids from class as Ivanka Trump visits CT school  "Some" parents; no word in this on how many. If it were just two, the press would have made big news out of the matter. From the comments: 
So sorry that these hateful parents are modeling their bad behavior and judgement to their children. Isn't the women's movement, suppose to be about respecting and honoring intelligent and successful women, no matter their political views ? Such hypocrites. 
Right or left in politics, Ivanka is an extremely intelligent articluate business woman and parents should raise their children to be respectful of all adults. I don't think "brain washing" was on Ivanka's agenda. It was disgraceful how the ultra liberal left ran the Ivanka Trump clothing line out of retails stores.
