University Of South Carolina Students To Stage Walkout

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK … 

Students at the University of South Carolina are planning a mass walkout from their classes this week in protest of alleged insufficient political correctness by school leaders.  The movement – dubbed “Here’s No Place Like Home” – bills itself as some sort of collective.

“This is a ‘We’ movement not an ‘I’ movement,” an organizing document put together by protest leaders noted. “No individual is to take responsibility, credit, or blame for the work and actions of the group.”

No individual is supposed to deviate from the script, either.

“Speakers and chant leaders have already been identified in order to ensure structure for the protest,” the organizing document stated.  “Please respect the structure as written and follow the direction of speakers.”

Jeez …

Here is the abbreviated list of the students’ demands …

1. Acknowledgement of USC’s slave history by including it in the historical portion of tours and adding plaques/markers to buildings constructed by slaves, and raising the plaque for the AAAS Tree to increase its visibility.
2. Expansion and improvement of minority recruitment efforts and creation of a minority scholars program through the Honors College.
3. Policies and accommodations for trans students including gender neutral housing and restrooms and streamlined process for changing gender markers and names within university databases and records.
4. University acknowledgement of gender identity and expression as a protected class under Title IX.
5. Investigation into the following university administrators: the Executive Assistant to the President for Equal Opportunity Programs, the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Academic Support, Student Life and Development, and the Vice President for Student Affairs, Vice Provost and Dean of Students.
6. An increased budget for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.
7. An increased budget for the Counseling Center so that there are more available appointments and more free appointments provided to each student.
8. Creation of an intersectional diversity training provided by Office of Diversity and Inclusion that is mandatory for USC faculty and staff.
9. Transparency campus-wide through collection and visibility of data in relation to admissions/enrollment, campus sexual assault/rape/sexual harassment, and hazing.
10. A Social Justice minor/cognate allowing students to academically study intersectional forces of injustice and the solutions to these issues.
11. Renaming of the Office of Student Disability Services to the Office of Accessibility and Accommodation Services, and increased visibility and promotion for the office.
12. A plan to make USC Homecoming more inclusive to reflect and celebrate the diversity of our campus, our alumni, and our community.

Hold up …

Are these kids for real?  What happened to protesting for pizza, beer and girls?  Maybe some weed?

And here’s the nauseatingly squeamish response from Wes Hickman, the University’s spokesman.

While we have made great progress in diversity and inclusiveness, there is always more to be done.

We appreciate our students making their voice heard, participating in civil discourse and continuing the dialogue toward making our campus a safe and welcoming environment to all students. The issues they have raised will do much to guide the conversation. In fact, many are already being addressed or are included in the university’s strategic plans.

We are launching a new initiative designed to host further dialogue and conversation, the South Carolina Collaborative on Race and Reconciliation under the direction of our Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. John Dozier. We are creating a new leadership distinction for graduates in Social Justice to encourage individual and societal efforts to improve the lives of all. The Social Compact Task Force that has been meeting this semester is addressing many of these issues as well, and a full report and recommendation is expected in the spring semester. Just to name a few.

We remain steadfastly committed to improving our institution for the benefit of all members of the Carolina family. The leadership and opinions of these students is welcome and much appreciated. We look forward to addressing them as we move forward in creating a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment in which all Gamecocks can thrive.

Good God.  Spoken like a true former Lindsey Graham staffer, right?

“USC had no business responding to this group of anarchists,” one millennial told FITS.  “Doing so has now given them oxygen they otherwise would have never achieved it served as nothing more than a bullhorn for media coverage.”

We agree.

If anything, Hickman should have said “you kids are all a bunch of communist pussies and if you go through with this stunt we will roll tanks on you like Tiananmen.”

Errr … wait.  Maybe that would have been a little over the top.

Our thoughts on this ongoing “higher educational” ridiculousness?

Here you go …

I am entitled to every restaurant, store, or private business to give me religious holiday themed decor, but only for the religious holidays I approve of.

We need to spend millions in tax dollars decorating for a religious holiday I like, but the government better not even remotely recognize other religions’ holidays.

Approximately 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 presidential election, according to a study released last year by professors at Old Dominion University and George Mason University. The figure for the 2010 midterm elections was 2.2 percent. The Obama administration doesn’t care. In fact, it is trying to stamp out state-led efforts that would help ensure that only American citizens are electing our leaders.

An Old White Bastard’s Response to the Order of 12 at USC

1. Acknowledge that you have milked the Slavery issue for the past 150 years

2. If you are truly an Honors Student, they will get in touch with you – stop trying to dilute the gene pool

3. If you want to cut your dick off or have a dick sewn on, go to the University of Thailand

4. Title IX is enough fucking regulation

5. Investigate, prosecute and kick out of school the Students who willy nilly slander the lives and reputations of innocent people – if I was one of the individuals you named I would mortgage my house to sue the shit of your fucking ass

6. Eliminate the Budget for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.

7. If you can’t handle the pressures of going to college, quit and go to work at McDonald’s, pussy

8. Make it mandatory that any student who thinks they can make something mandatory for someone else that they have to do it first

9. Publish the names, home addresses, email addresses of everyone who took part in coming up with this bullshit list so I and others can email them to grow a pair and shut the fuck up

10. A special education cognate for these dumbasses to complete a course in the Kenny Rogers School of Management

11. Name the Students who came up with list to read – Someone ought to kick your stupid fucking ass back to where the hell you came from

12. USC Homecoming Queen event will be all inclusive by having a White Male Queen, a White Female Queen, a Black Male Queen, a Black Female Queen, an Asian Male Queen, an Asian Female Queen, a Native American Male Queen, a Native American Female Queen, a Queen Queen regardless of whether it has a dick, a vagina, neither or both

In fact at Homecoming why not just announce if their is anyone one in the goddamn fucking stadium who wants to be a mother fucking Homecoming Queen just come on down and stand in the middle of the damn field and be Politically Correct for fucking 15 minutes – no doubt if this occurs the stupid sons of bitches who came up with this bullshit list would still bitch and moan

The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[1][2][3] occurred at Kent State University in the US city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[4][5]

1) these buildings were created from materials created by Jesus’ dad and later stolen from the natives. In fact, this very site was probably some lesser minority’s house.
2) these buildings were used as a hospital during a war where many thousands of white people died freeing black people, which was a great start and now we just need some reparations and permanent coddling

A nebulous set of demands, that would do very little to enrich the academic experience at the university or make it more convenient for the everyday life of the average student attending the university to obtain an education.
Once again, it is about a group that wants to enforce their sociopolitical views, from a far left perspective, on the University, its staff, and students.
These ideas and imperatives come and go like an unwanted epidemic, maybe soon, we will be back to near-normalcy.

12. A plan to make USC Homecoming more inclusive to reflect and celebrate the diversity of our campus, our alumni, and our community. (I’m assuming “diversity” also includes sexual orientation.)

I have visions of rainbow colored state flags, cockabooses, and c0ck hats. How about this, instead of a blackout game, a rainbow-out with your c0ck out? Better yet, instead of the cocktail helmets from this past weekend, you could actually go with a full monty.

DEMAND 13: The above mentioned administrators will not be told what they are accused of but we demand that they wear the “pointy hats” enemies of the Chinese communist party had to wear during the cultural revolution. If any accused administrator is seen without such a hat clearly making him as an enemy of the marginalized minorities he can be screamed at and become the target of both micro- and macro aggressions.
