Ha,ha,ha,ha....This is great humor... A liberal group at the University of Minnesota (U of M) has ordered the school to admit it is a product of the evil actions of colonial Americans and must fundamentally alter its structure to make it up to marginalized communities. “We demand an acknowledgement that the university exists as a product of colonialistic processes,” states the official website for the group, which calls itself “Whose Diversity?” The demands call for a gender-neutral restroom in every building and a faith-neutral “meditation and healing” room on every campus. The group has created a list of “permanent and substantial structural changes” that the school must enact to right these wrongs and has vowed not to stop. The list of changes gives the school two years to have at least two “faculty members of color” in every single department who are “engaging in critical race and ethnic studies scholarship with a social justice emphasis.” It also demands that students with “historically marginalized backgrounds” have the opportunity to be involved in hiring these faculty. Further demands include hiring more “medical providers of historically marginalized identities whose work is rooted in social justice” and increasing the number of “non-white” students to meet very specific proportions. “In two years, the university student body should be proportional to three-fourths of the city demographics of non-white groups. (For example, the student body should be 13.5% Black in two years compared to the city demographics of 18% Black residents).” The list also calls for a gender-neutral restroom in every building and a faith-neutral “meditation and healing” room on every campus. “The decor shall be approved by a committee of students, staff, and faculty who embody multiple religious and spiritual beliefs to ensure that these rooms are as respectful and encompassing as possible,” it states. http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5692
Is there some way we can get a percentage of marginalized communities to suffer at Valley Forge, die at Fredericksburg or Belleau Wood? Of course not, they weren't there to fight for this country.
