‘Christmas vacation,’ ‘round of golf’ are microaggressions at Univ.North Carolina
The leftist moonbats on campuses are just bat sh#t crazy.....

Quote:At the University of North Carolina, it’s not just the students walking on politically correct eggshells.

Guidelines issued on the university’s Employee Forum aim to help staff avoid microaggressions in their interactions by cautioning against offensive phrases such as “Christmas vacation,” “husband/boyfriend” and “golf outing.”

The guidebook, first reported by Campus Reform, categorizes examples of potential microaggressions by “social identity group,” including race, gender and sexual orientation.

Under the “Religion” tab, the guidebook says organizing vacations around Christian holidays further “centers the Christian faith and minimizes non-Christian spiritual rituals and observances.”

With regard to “gender” microaggressions, the guidelines discourage comments such as “I love your shoes!” to female colleagues or otherwise complimenting the appearance of women.

To compliment a woman on her appearance, the guidance warns, is essentially to say, “I notice how you look and dress more than I value your intellectual contributions. How you look is really important.”

The guide also discourages staff from inviting others to play a “round of golf,” which assumes “employees have the financial resources/exposure to a fairly expensive and inaccessible sport.”

On the matter of race, telling someone that you “don’t see color” is equivalent to “minimizing/denying a person of color’s racial/ethnic experiences,” the guide says.
Microaggressions against “sexual orientation” include using the terms “husband” or “boyfriend” when addressing a female colleague, or “wife” or “girlfriend” when addressing a male colleague, instead of the asexual “partner” or “spouse.”

This, the taxpayer-funded university warns, sets “the expectation that people do not identify as LGBTQ until they say otherwise or disclose their sexual orientation.”
At faculty award ceremonies, be sure not to ask honorees to “stand and be recognized” for their achievements, which assumes “that everyone is able in this way and ignores the diversity of ability in the space.”

The Chapel Hill campus is not alone in its attempt to quell microaggressions, which ostensibly are defined as unintentional slights directed toward vulnerable groups. However, “microaggressions” often carry political implications and serve as a pretext for silencing political dissent on college campuses.

At an event last year titled “Managing Microaggressions,” students at the University of Virginia said identifying oneself as an “American” is a microaggression. Students at the University of Wisconsin last year said calling America a “melting pot” or the “land of opportunity” is microaggressive.

That's like an Onion article. I tend to believe this story, there are enough examples out there, but wouldn't mind another source beyond the Washington Times and Breitbart.

Cable television needs a right-leaning "Jon Stewart" type program. A comedian who sits at a desk and mocks and makes facial contortions at this steady stream of SJW stories. That Gap ad, the Red Cross pool poster... this is comedy that writes itself.

I would expect nothing less out of Chapel Hill. It's a liberal's wet dream where grades aren't earned, equal outcomes are assured, and the men on campus have been reduced to sniveling little pansies.

The problem is that only the Wash Times and Brietbart are going to report this stuff as the liberal left media understands how these stories are embarrassing to the cause.

It's an ongoing problem for this board because it gives the proggies a chance for a troll response. They'll post some dumb ass comment like "well it is the Washington Times" but will never post "it isn't true", because they usually are true and they know it.

I repeat.

College degrees should now come with a groupon for free cult deprogramming.

But athletes getting grades for classes that don't exist to keep them eligible is OK.

Would I get in trouble if I invited a gay man and his husband to a round of golf, but I paid for the round of golf?

The LGBTQ community fights forever for the right to be married and the left still discriminates and won't call a man's legally married partner his husband. Why does the left remain pro-discrimination?

You have a better way to keep the classes absolutely inoffensive and free of microaggressions against religions, genders, races, firearms etc?

North Carolina has it figured out. Next step is to go all Tuscaloosa and make up a few football championships.

Yep, I'm hoping someone eventually has the sack to hire Milo or Steven Crowder. They would pull in 10x the viewers that Trevor Noah does, the horrendously unfunny joke thief that has run the Daily Show into the ground.

Wherever. He still sucks. I went by his accent and it sound British to me.

So if I don't like obama I'm a racist? I don't like Hillary either or those Castro kids does that make me a racist too?

It doesn't matter what race he might claim it's his stupid jokes that I can't stand.

Remember that phrase the next time one of the liberals attacks Clarence Thomas, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson.... They have a special venom for conservative minorities.

If it came from the Washington post and/or huff huff post would you need another source?
