All WHITES are racist!

I am not a racist.
I'm an idiotcist. I hate idiots.
I hate people that beat/molest children.
I have people that are ignorant beyond means and cannot be reasoned with.

It has nothing to do with where you are from, or the colour of your skin... I'm glad there is so much variance in the world.

University Dumps Thought Reform Program
November 1, 2007

Late Thursday, University of Delaware President Patrick Harker released on the school’s website a Message to the University of Delaware Community terminating the university’s ideological reeducation program, which FIRE condemned as an exercise in thought reform. He stated, “I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted.” Harker also called for a “full and broad-based review” of the program’s practices and purposes. While concerns remain about the University of Delaware’s commitment to free expression, FIRE commends President Harker for his decision to immediately terminate the Orwellian residence life education program. FIRE will have more on this development tomorrow. President Harker’s message is reproduced in full below.
A Message to the University of Delaware Community

Nov. 1, 2007

The University of Delaware strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population. The University is committed to the education of students as citizens, scholars and professionals and their preparation to contribute creatively and with integrity to a global society. The purpose of the residence life educational program is to support these commitments.

While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review.

Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted.

Vice President Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students.

The Delaware Horror (Cont.)


Here is the latest skinny on the University of Delaware indoctrination consciousness-raising program for resident students, from Philly.com.

Readers might like to try the sample questions at the end, taken from one of the diversity training questionnaires.

When were you first made aware of your race?
When did you discover your sexual identity?
Who taught you a lesson in regard to some sort of diversity awareness? What was that lesson?
When was a time when you confronted someone regarding an issue of diversity? What was the confrontation about? If haven't, why not?
When was a time you felt oppressed? Who was oppressing you? How did you feel?
Can you think of a time when someone was offended by what you said? How did that make you feel? How do you think it made them feel? How did his/her behavior change toward you?
 
its OK to burn the US flag

but step on a TERRORIST flag and you got problems

Not so fast, says the Court

You useless TERRORISTS have no clue whats going on on virtually all school GULAGS

San Francisco State University Civility Code Temporarily Enjoined: From The Recorder ($):

U.S. Magistrate Judge Wayne Brazil issued a temporary injunction against the CSU system Wednesday, in which he struck down a portion of the CSU conduct code that mandates students "be civil to one another." That language would likely not survive First Amendment scrutiny at trial, the magistrate found.

"It's fine to say, 'We hope you're civil to each other,'" Brazil said from the bench. "It's not fine to say, 'We'll punish you if you're not.'"

The magistrate also told the CSU system it can only discipline students for "intimidation" or "harassment" when the health or safety of another person is threatened. In addition, Brazil struck down language in the San Francisco State University student handbook that holds out the possibility of corrective action against student groups if their members behave in opposition to SFSU goals and principles.

The case grows out of an anti-terrorism rally held last year by College Republicans at SFSU. The event turned testy when the Republicans stomped on Hamas and Hezbollah flags bearing "Allah" written in Arabic script. Onlookers from the school's Muslim community objected, and one started to climb on stage to remove the flag, according to the university's court filings. The two sides engaged in heated debate.

After the protest, the school received a complaint alleging the Republicans had violated the student code by attempting to "incite violence" and create a hostile environment, the school says in its court filings. After an investigation, the complaint against the Republicans was dismissed....

you are young

and still silly

wait a while :nana:

Actually, I think that my being young in this case is a good thing. What I should have said was that I don't understand why any of those questions is a problem, because all of those are relevant issues in today's university environment. If you take any course in the social sciences or liberal arts, you're probably going to have to confront several of those themes, if not all of them. And that's a good thing, because the world is very, very different today than it was in the 60s and 70s.

Oh, he's a hypocrite, much like you. Always preaching what he never practices.

Both of you are alike in quite a lot of ways. Issuing unprovoked threats that you have no chance in hell of backing up. You're both homeless turds trying to pass off as ex military - either that or you're both on a crusade to make the military look as horrible as possible. You're both racist - it just takes more to provoke his, than yours.

Come to think of it, you two are considerably similar.
 
Indoctrination U: Thought Police At the University of Delaware
November 6, 2007 1:09 AM

Coming to a college near you?
Orwellian brainwashing isn’t only taking place in dictatorships like North Korea. Joanne Jacobs has the details of the infamous “treatment” at the University of Delaware that turned residence halls into reeducation camps.


By Joanne Jacobs

In one-on-one sessions with RAs (Resident Assistants), University of Delaware students were questioned: “When did you discover your sexual identity?” In dorm meetings, they were pressured to pledge their allegiance to university-approved views on race, sexuality and environmentalism. When FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) spotlighted the indoctrination, a university official defended the “free exchange of ideas.” A few days later, the program was canceled.

How can academics talk about “critical thinking” while turning residence halls into reeducation camps? Well, they meant well. Everyone agrees they meant well. If only academics were capable of thinking critically about their own assumptions.

Thanks to FIRE’s links to ResLife (Residential Life) materials, we know the goal was to teach dorm dwellers “competencies” for “citizenship,” such as: “Students will recognize that systemic oppression exists in our society,” “Students will recognize the benefits of dismantling systems of oppression,” and “Students will be able to utilize their knowledge of sustainability to change their daily habits and consumer mentality.”

“Learning” was defined as “specific attitudinal or behavioral changes.” The program was called a “treatment.”

Students who agreed with ResLife’s views on “diversity, homosexual rights (and more subtly, politics)” were hired as RAs, writes Dan Lenker, a former RA, on SayAnything. Then RAs were trained in how to pressure students to accept the program’s “unarguable dogma,” such as the fact that “racist” applies to all whites in the U.S. “regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.” Over time, “ridiculous and poorly designed” programs became “more belligerent” in pushing students to accept the approved beliefs, Lenker writes. While older students realized they could skip dorm meetings, “gullible” freshman believed RAs who said they had to participate.

This year, ResLife hired Shakti Butler, executive director of World Trust Educational Services, to train RAs. Her specialty, according to her web site, is “constructive conversations on oppression through the lens of race.” She claims her work “speaks to the interconnectedness of racism, classism, sexism and homophobia.”

The program “has gotten out of hand,” writes “Bill,” who says he’s been an RA for two years, on Chronicle of Higher Education. Asked to defend the training to the press, he refused. “When I declined, I was taken aside and told that my future as an RA was in jeopardy as was my future as a student.”

The university’s first response to FIRE came from Michael Gilbert, the vice president of student life, who claimed the program wasn’t mandatory and was all about “the free exchange of ideas.”

Not so, responds “Marie,” who says she works in the student affairs office, in the Chronicle: “… until this week the program was mandatory and they have temporarily suspended the mandatory nature of it, but once the attention goes away especially with Parents Weekend arriving they want to look good. Boy can they lie.”

A chilling description was provided by freshman Brooke Aldrich in a Wilmington News-Journal story: “Students were asked if they approved of such things as affirmative action or gay marriage. If they did, they would join students on one side of the room. If they didn’t, they would join students on the other side of the room. They were not permitted to explain their reasons or to answer ‘I don’t know,’ she said.”

Students wanted to talked about “why we chose this and sort out each other’s views,” she said. “But at the end, we were told the exercise was designed so that we could not have debate, that a lot of times in life you don’t have the opportunity to express your opinion.”

Apparently, the dorm sessions were one of those times when you don’t get to express your opinion.

In his cancellation statement, UD’s president, Patrick Harker, claimed: “The University of Delaware strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population.”

Strive harder, guys.

ResLife clearly feared white, middle-class students, who make up the majority on campus, would be unable to “respect the views and values” of non-whites. They needed “treatment” in a world view just about guaranteed to increase mistrust and resentment. After being told you’re a racist, are you more or less likely to start a conversation with a non-white student?

Students were told to write down stereotypes, a student told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “You have girls giving you hard looks because they’re Jewish, and you just wrote something offensive, like they’re cheap, even though you don’t believe it,” said Grace Banks, 18, of Smyrna.

Instead of urging students to think about what they have in common — perhaps a shared interest in poetry, science fiction, football, ecology, entrepreneurship, the Gospels, Harry Potter, video games, etc. — ResLife pushed them to focus on their oppressor or victim status.

When I was working on my book about a charter school in San Jose for Mexican-American students, I was told “Emilia” was nervous about going to Mount Holyoke, which had offered a full scholarship. I said, “When you get there, it will be a little scary, but it’ll be scary for everyone. The other students will be your age, they’ll be away from home for the first time and they’ll be trying to make friends, just like you.” I didn’t tell her to beware of racists. I told her to get a pair of boots for the winter. “Keep your feet warm and dry and you’ll be OK.”

She loves Mount Holyoke. And I’m confident her white, middle-class friends there respect her views and values, such as her belief that if you work hard you can get ahead.

Joanne Jacobs, who blogs at joannejacobs.com, is the author of Our School, the story of a charter school that prepares Mexican-American students for four-year colleges.

****

The following is one of the RA’s write-up of his “worst” one-on-one interview. His female student filled out the survey as follows:

1) When were you first made aware of your race?
“That is irrelevant to everything. My race is human being.”
2) When did you discover your sexual identity?
“That is none of your damn business”
3) Who taught you a lesson in regards to some form of diversity awareness? What was that lesson?“My grandparents sometimes make racial comments. And what the hell does that have to do with anything.”
4) When was a time when you confronted someone regarding an issue of diversity? What was the confrontation about? If you haven’t, why not?“Why would I do something like that? Diversity exists. I like it. Leave it at that.
5) When was a time you felt oppressed? Who was oppressing you? How did you feel?
“I am oppressed everyday on basis of my undying and devout feelings for the opera. Regularly passerbys throw stones at me and jeer me with cruel names. Because of this I am exiled and often contemplate suicide. Unbearable adversity. But I will overcome, hear me, you rock loving majority. +This is called “sarcasm.”“
6) Can you think of a time when someone was offended by what you said? How did that make you feel? How did you think it made them feel? How did hislher behavior change towards you?
“I offend people everyday just by being alive. They look at me and feel insulted. Then I open my mouth and they are further insulted. I say things like “good day!” and they take insult. More sarcasm! All right!
 
Brainwashing 101

More on indoctrination at the University Of Delaware.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) sent Patrick Harker, the president of the University, a voluminous set of papers on how their residence life program was run. "Hundreds of pages, without exception, are about how to indoctrinate students," school of education professor Jan Blits told the campus student paper, the Review. "What's surprising is how open they are about it." Blits acquired the papers from the residence life program by simply asking for them. Kathleen Kerr, the director of residential life for the university "was so proud of the program she just handed them over," he said. Blits, head of the university's chapter of the National Association of Scholars, and another professor at the school of education, Linda Gottfredson, have been cooperating with FIRE to get the story out. Gottfredson said: "Residential Life has the whole person and they try to change beliefs - the heart and soul of a person - which is exactly what totalitarian institutions do. This is a national issue and FIRE is not finished."

Kerr is currently chair of the American College Personnel Association's commission for housing and residential life. ACPA's site lists 28 residential life officers from colleges and universities across the country, including the University of Texas, Oberlin, the University of Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan State, Brandeis and Michigan State, though it is not clear that these institutions are engaged in any indoctrination. The national group's ethical code says that "respecting the rights of persons to hold different perspectives" is essential.

The papers laying out the residential curriculum at the University of Delaware have a number of gassy euphemisms for insisting that students accept the ideas being imposed. One is "competency attainment" - in plain English the acceptance by students of ideas they are told to accept. The same insistence is available in clear language as well, often in sentences that begin "Students will." One example: "Students will recognize that systemic oppression exists in our society."

At a meeting of the faculty senate, Blits said that programs at public universities structured to impose beliefs are illegal, "even if it were Democratic party principles or Republican party principles." According to a report in the Review, he told the senate: "Under the civil rights law of 1871, the Ku Klux Klan Act, public university officials are personally liable for punitive damages. That is very, very serious." Blits said the university is currently "the laughing stock" of the nation.

Among the questions now being debated: why did President Harker merely suspend the program for the rest of the academic year, instead of quashing it entirely? And more basically, why should dormitories have their own curriculum? Possible answer: highly ideological freshman orientation programs are now widespread and meet so little resistance, the temptation to extend the brainwashing to all four years of college may seem irresistible to eager ideologues.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The RAs are forbidden to talk to outsiders about the residential curriculum, though attacking FIRE is apparently allowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Adam Kissel of FIRE Reported on November 3 that a parent wrote to say that her son "told me that RAs were 'mandated' to speak out against FIRE to the media. One refused and was told by residence life staff that he would lose his job and the university would not consider him a student anymore. I asked him if he (the RA) would be expelled and he said that was 100 percent correct."

The Chronicle of Higher Education blog said several RAs had been asked to speak favorably about the program to the news media. "When I declined I was taken aside and told that my future as an RA was in jeopardy as was my future as a student, " he said "I decide to stand up for myself."

In addition to its indoctrination, the residence program has its own speech code. The university's "residence life escalation procedures" divides emergencies into three levels of seriousness. The A) level, the most dire, includes life-threatening situations, sexual assault or rape, drug busts, serious injury and this: "Any instance that is perceived by those involved as being racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic or otherwise oppressive." All A) emergencies are to be reported immediately, at any hour of the night or day to the residential life professional on duty (parents are not to be notified). If the "instances" of oppressive behavior are comments or beliefs, the provision is clearly unconstitutional. But then, what goes better with an illegal indoctrination program than an equally illegal speech code?
