I wonder if the people complaining about microaggression training actually know what microtransgressions are.
Blowing up tiny, engineered, or imagined slights into a big deal? A term used to attack professors who gave one of the students involved in the local activist community a C?
This is great. Quite illiberal, but refreshingly candid in a way. We now have somebody here openly embracing and defending the "education is political indoctrination" idea. The kids will be shaped toward a particular politically correct mindset, the one they want them to have, and independent thought or dissent will be banished. Nice job.
What, am I supposed to take this **** seriously?
Respond when you have the decency to do so without twisting my words around. Until then, don't waste your time speaking to me. I've run out of patience for this sort of drivel.
What poor reporting. I was all ready to be outraged about what is presented as $250 *for this specific training.* It's not. It's for the entire registration fee for orientation per link in second article:
"Student Registration for Orientation ($250):
Registration for Frosh Orientation is*now closed. The deadline was May 1, 2017."
So orientation includes a piece on how not to offend other populations that you may not have experienced interacting with. I don't see the problem.
It offends me that they think a child I have raised needs to be educated on what should be basic manners. And I don't want any child of mine being told what is and isn't acceptable because most college professors don't have a clue. I'm talking about things like a professor who told my granddaughter that she better vote for Hillary because if Trump won she would probably be deported because she is a woman. These people are off the wall crazy.
I have triggered some liberals on here by pointing out that scientifically, IQ of adults is largely (not completely) genetic. Will we have to rewrite science books to avoid micro aggressions triggering science denying liberals?
Here's some microagressions training they should cover:
-crossing the border illegally or overstating visa
-speaking loudly in foreign gibberish in public
-flying or brandishing foreign flags
-burning the American flag
-tearing down or renaming historic, cultural symbols, statues etc
-wearing non-western clothing and not assimilating
The list of microaggressions perpetrated from the left is endless.
