Of course not (only got 4 out of 5). I am sometimes called an elitist baby-murdering libtard, but who cares? Far too big an industry on both sides dedicated to victimhood.

You think so? How did that work out at Boston University?

The Boston University community is debating incoming professor Saida Grundy's tweets on race and gender.
Story highlights

• An incoming Boston University professor's personal tweets on race are debated online
• While some call for her firing, others stand in solidarity with her

(CNN)Fury erupted this month over incoming Boston University sociology and African-American studies professor Saida Grundy's tweets about white men, race and slavery.
College student Nick Pappas wrote about Grundy's tweets on his website SoCawlege.com a week ago with the headline "Boston University assistant professor Saida Grundy attacks whites, makes false statements on Twitter."

Controversy erupted over tweets by incoming Boston University assistant professor Saida Grundy.
Pappas, who will be a senior at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst next school year, launched the site last fall, intending it as a conservative BuzzFeed-style website.
Grundy, a sociologist who studies race, gender and class, received her doctorate last year from the University of Michigan's joint program in sociology and women's studies. She is to start work in a tenure-track position at Boston University -- the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s alma mater -- on July 1.
Her personal Twitter account has since been made private, but the Boston Globe reported some of the tweets: "why is white america so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?" and "every MLK week i commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible."
"Why are young white males a singled out issue to you Ms. Grundy, as opposed to all young males?" asked the SoCawlege article. "If you are going to work at Boston University you have to teach college aged white males eventually no?"
And the Twitter fight was on.
Twitter user @ClairelyParker wrote, "Okay to be a racist professor as long as you target the "white" race @BU_Tweets #BostonUniversity #SaidaGrundy SHAME ON YOU Boston U."
Another, @PossumAndPintos, tweeted "@greywoolhat Why does Boston University employ bigots? like @saigrundy @BU_Tweets This is what bigotry looks like pic.twitter.com/EC6H61nkNn."
Her supporters also came out in force.
"I find it deplorable that #SaidaGrundy has been labeled a racist and a bigot for speaking an inconvenient truth. #ISupportSaida," tweeted @raulspeaks.
"Only in an inherently racist system can YOU be a racist for calling out racism. That's where we are. #SaidaGrundy," tweeted @sunnydaejones.
The online petition supporting Grundy has more than 2,000 signatories, while the petition demanding that she be fired has more than 200 signatories as of Wednesday morning.
A few days after the debate went into overdrive, Grundy made a statement to the Boston Globe.
"I regret that my personal passion about issues surrounding these events led me to speak about them indelicately," she said in the statement. Issues of race "are uncomfortable for all of us, and, yet, the events we now witness with regularity in our nation tell us that we can no longer circumvent the problems of difference with strategies of silence."
Boston University President Robert Brown weighed in, defending Grundy's right to express her opinions but expressing "concern and disappointment" about her tweets.

Millennials. In October 2004, researchers Neil Howe and William Strauss called Millennials "the next great generation," which is funny. They define the group as "as those born in 1982 and approximately the 20 years thereafter." In 2012, they affixed the end point as 2004.

Was reading yahoo and found this.


http://www.foxnews.com/...nly-two-genders.html


A religious studies major was barred from Christianity class at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for saying during class that there are only two genders.
Lake Ingle, a senior at the university, said he was silenced and punished by IUP Professor Alison Downie for questioning her during a Feb. 28 “Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and Salvation” lecture.


After showing a 15-minute TED Talk by transgender ex-pastor Paula Stone Williams discussing the “reality” of “mansplaining,” “sexism from men,” and “male privilege,” the professor asked the women in the class to share their thoughts. When no women in the class said anything, Ingle spoke up, challenging the professor on biology and the gender wage gap.


He told the class that the official view of biologists is that there are only two genders.

The feminist professor booted him from class and asked him not to come back. She referred him to the public university’s Academic Integrity Board (AIB). Ingle needs to complete the class to graduate at the end of the semester.

Ha, suck it world! I knew I was special!

;)

It's true, though there's some context to those situations (some are intentionally engineered)

Though since the subject line has the word "attack" it's fair to keep in mind the the more extreme right-wing protesters are pretty lethal. Very recently, the stabbing of Blaze Bernstein (for being gay and Jewish), Charlottesville car ramming, Portland train attack, etc. The "Atomwaffen" among other extremists groups enact extreme right-wing ideology with lethal effect.

By comparison I don't believe there's a single documented fatality caused by antifa (the modern U.S.-based variety), despite the breathless coverage of antifa by the conservative media.

Both death and risk of death stifle speech.

No, getting into a discussion of that sort on Facebook couldn't possibly end well.

How does the attack go for being hetero? That just doesn't make any sense to me if we are going to buy into the "people are born that way" line of reasoning.

Was there evidence she actually discriminated against students in the classroom similar to the example vechia gave?

And so what happened?

Just because a professor does it, doesn't mean it will stand or that there aren't any legal repercussions because she may have broke the law.

That being said, I'm not sure just being misguided is a protected class, unless he claims his ignorance is religious based :) On the other hand I can't see what legal grounds she would have for kicking him out of class either.

It's not so much levied as a personal attack, but as a way to delegitimize an argument by framing the person as speaking from a place of hetero privilege and thus ignorant to or immune from how things "really are" among the oppressed.

Objective reality can not, apparently, be identified and critiqued unless you share all the necessary traits in common. It's why Intersectional Feminism spends most of its ammo in crossfire.

Apparently this is ongoing. Note the last sentence of the article. He needs to complete the class to graduate at the end of the semester. In other words, 4 years of school, ready to graduate but may not be able to because of this. That is a significant thing, don't you think?

It’s very significant.

Does driving their car into the progressive protesters count? Took away a lot more than a platform.

Yes, that would fit squarely into the "rarely" category I described.

Does murdering someone in Charlottesville count?

Not gonna lie, that's a weird bump from three months ago, especially since someone said the same thing two posts above you
