The Wrong Colour Students

Campus resident assistants at [Scripps College] are hanging up two sets of posters titled “Emotional Labour 101”: one for whites, and another for minorities, whom the posters dub as “victims of emotional labour.”

Somewhat related.

Haven’t the students burned the place down yet?
Not yet, but there’s been a 50% drop in enrollment

put away the good Night Nurse, you are about to have a Moronalanche.
Quick, man. Dig out the old towels, the ratty ones.

You’d think they could save time and space by scheduling the two events at the same time and in the same room…

Evergreen says NO to discrimination
Being woke does seem to presuppose the ability to hold wildly inconsistent and contradictory ideas. Not just the usual oversights and woolliness, but the kinds of jarring incoherence that can be seen from space. For instance, demanding “empathy” while laughing at accounts of random, unprovoked beatings, and then assaulting, from behind, a polite stranger.

I don’t know why all the white people don’t just claim to be native Americans. Worked for Elizabeth Warren and she has less native blood than the average white person in America.
See: problem solved!

“This is decolonisation happening,” says one student, proudly.
Let us remember: Evergreen is a public institution. That is, it is the state. Professors are representatives of the state. There are laws, both criminal & civil, which prohibit state discrimination based upon race. There are no exceptions for “unless the recipient is white” or “unless its a really, really good teaching moment.” Further, a state actor cannot co-opt non-state actors to do what is impermissible for state actors.
Facilitating or merely allowing targeted harassment of a student because of his/her skin color arguably violates a whole basket load of those laws. It’s only a matter of time before some of these institutions are sued into oblivion.

OT for this thread, but not for this blog:

THEY’VE ALL GONE CRAZY: Guardian reporter screams at ‘anti-Semite’ Salena Zito for causing synagogue shooting by reporting on Trump.
Though in my experience, the Guardian folks are generally fine with actual anti-semites.

Sorry but this is where you lawyers just do not get it. You can write all the laws you want. If people in the real world don’t care, you may as well be pissing up a rope. Obviously no one in Oregon cares. They will just change the meanings of the words in your laws to fit their purposes.

WE are paying for this… These “loans” will never be repaid.
For a glimpse or two of what it is that’s being funded, and a flavour of the pathology – one might call it a kind of stupefying malevolence – you may want to take a peek at some of these, again filmed by Benjamin Boyce.

Quoting from WSJ:
From an Aug. 3 job posting from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.:
Williams College invites applications for the position of Assistant Coach of Nordic Skiing for the academic year 2018-2019. . . .
Our expectation is that the successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. We are especially interested in individuals who have experience with diverse populations who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of athletic opportunities at Williams. Candidates from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

the successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion.
These institutions promote distinctions and difference (the ability to discriminate among people), but demand equality. Yet, were people equal, there wouldn’t be words for observable differences. They champion identity diversity, but demand viewpoint conformity.
I wonder how they get away with calling it ‘Nordic Skiing’? Doesn’t this reek of cultural appropriation? In my day it was cross country skiing.
And how do we know a community that is broadly diverse has any underrepresented groups? Are they actually recruiting Republicans?

@WTP
Perhaps we need to few this through a longer lens. The “Long March” took sixty years or so. We did not wind up here overnight. Perhaps the solution will take as long, but the system as it exists cannot be maintained. “Send your kids here to be bullied by us” is not a winning sales pitch. The decrease in Evergreen’s enrollment is evidence of that, as is a complete, yet quiet, overhaul of the curriculum at places like Mizzou. (I concede, the political demographics are perhaps more conducive to such a reversal in Missouri than in Washington.)
Second, said “Long March” was successful because much of it was hidden from taxpayer view. The new, internet based media together with social media and “Breitbart”-inspired amateur reporters make concealing this stuff infinitely more difficult. Further, the tighter the leftist tech companies attempt to squeeze producers to suppress the information, the more of it slips through their fingers.
Third, the Left has idiotically overplayed its hand. By shifting the focus to social justice and attempting to pillory random students of the wrong demographic is backfiring. They are running afoul of federal laws which contain to “only white people are racist” exceptions. Their students are woefully unprepared to do anything IRL and wind up realizing that. And they’ve attracted the Sauron-like gaze of the general public.
I analogize it to people who wind up getting caught embezzling. It’s never the first small amounts of money which do them in. Rather, with each “success,” they become ever bolder and believe their bullet proof. Eventually, they wind up getting caught when their thefts are so big they cannot be adequately hidden or explained.
I think we’re approaching that point with respect to the Education Industrial Complex. There is going to be revolution. Either that revolution will roll back the clock or the Leftists will create a dystopia where only those who express fidelity to the cause will be allowed to succeed and those who don’t will be precluded from any alternatives. The former can be accomplished under the current paradigm. The latter will necessitate an upheaval the likes of which we’ve never seen, and I include the mid 19th Century in that calculus.

@Daniel Ream
In a perfect world, i.e. one without a 14th Amendment which has swallowed up the rest of the Constitution and plenty of wealthy SJWs willing to finance litigation and activist SJW judges willing to ignore reality, your solution is perfect, with one caveat. The “Angry Studies” departments originated in English departments in ’70s and ’80s. The SJWs first took over Composition courses and used them to begin the process by requiring various “critical” texts and the readings underlying the composition assignments. (I was there studying literature and philosophy when this started.) Ultimately, they moved into the literature professorships and then into their own hydrocephalus departments, where they attracted like minds from sociology, anthropology, history etc. If you eliminate the “studies” departments, the purveyors will simply retreat to their old fortresses to start again.
I believe we are coming to a point where there will be a separation of the SJW disciplines from the rest of academia in order to preserve the hard sciences, both theoretical and applied, from the SJW contagion. A university college of arts & sciences which teaches evolutionary biology in one room cannot coexist with one which teaches that biological sex is a social construct. With the Enlightenment, schools of Divinity & Theology began to separate themselves from the rest of the university. The same must occur for the STEM to survive. We must have SJW “seminaries” and those new “seminaries” must be made to pay the taxpayer every dime in student loans which wind up in default.
Anyway, YMMV

Hampshire (UK) fire service motto is “Diversity is our strength”.
Quite what “diversity” has to do with firefighting escapes me. Why it should be deemed The Central Message To Impart is even more boggling. Yet it’s everywhere, and not altogether convincing.
It’s rather like when in local news you hear some educator or bureaucrat mouthing about how “diverse” and “inclusive” a school is, and how 52 languages are spoken there, and how this is somehow a good thing, something to emulate, and not an expensive and alienating logistical nightmare that’s often accompanied by remedial classes, low grades, dismal Ofsted rankings, and even rioting.
There’s a whiff of desperation in the telling of the lie.

Does the Williams job require any Nordic skiing chops, or are they optional if the right candidate is found (nudge, nudge, say no more)?

Is there political pressure to lower standards in order to hire more “diverse” firefighters? That has been happening In the States in various fields.

Um….

how 52 languages are spoken there, and how this is somehow a good thing,
“The majority of pupils enter school unable to speak English.”
What every parent wants to hear.
The parents will never hear it. If they do, they better keep quiet.
We have the example from few years ago of the English school girl who asked to be assigned a new study team in class because her mates spoke no English and she did not speak Urdu. She was punished for noticing the differences we are supposed to be celebrating.
