The University of Oregon’s Thought Police Investigate Students for
Saying Anything

http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/10/the-university-of-oregons-thought-police

"An annual report on the activities of University of Oregon’s Bias
Response Team provides a frightening yet fascinating glimpse into the
practices of these organizations, which are common on college campuses.
Students, faculty, and staff who feel threatened, harassed, intimidated,
triggered, microaggressed, offended, ignored, under-valued, or
objectified because of their race, gender, gender identity, sexuality,
disability status, mental health, religion, political affiliation, or
size are encouraged to contact the BRT."

This bullshit needs to be crushed out of the universities, now.

Absolutely. But, it will likely remain at the top of the agenda for a
democrat in the White House.
There is just too much of a lefty voting base to risk alienation.

And we do live in the age that any offense perceived by a protected class
requires federal investigation.

It's a tall order, I realize, but the more that right-thinking people
start calling out the perpetrators of this bullshit, the better the chance.

True.

Do NOT forget about tenure - it rewards statism internally.

Well, having somewhere to report grievances is fine. Its a matter of what, if anything, they _do_ about it.

It's even worse than you say. 'Ignoring' is on the list, so you can also be
investigated for saying nothing.

Also, I had to look up 'microaggression', and the wiki entry opening
paragraph equates it with unconscious bias. So you can be a microagressor
even if you are not knowingly behaving poorly.

So, if 'they' decide you should have said something, you can be in trouble
even if the reason you said nothing was just because you were all choked-up
about how egalitarian our society has become.

Vote for Bernie. When all the trailer trash hits the campus the thought
police will be overwhelmed.

reason.com (the Reason Foundation) is an excellent, informative and
authoritative site. It is overtly libertarian, unlike the Cato
Institute which does more policy analysis that is libertarian and
market-oriented by default, but is not as overtly libertarian as Reason.
The fuckwit gunkie doesn't like Reason because it gets things right,
and that goes against his wrong-headed ideology.

Like all True Believers, Gronk despises truth and so her mind is closed to
any source of real information.

Thank for the info on reason.com. I'll check it out tomorrow.

They have a Facebook feed that I subscribed to (I guess), because stuff
from them shows up all the time in my news feed. They have items on all
kinds of abuses of state power, but two that predominate are the
Department of Education completely distorting Title IX of the 1972 civil
rights act to bludgeon universities into harassing, suspending and
expelling males students over trumped up "sexual violence" misdeeds, and
now all the "cultural appropriation", "microaggression", "inclusivity"
and other proggie bullshit. Some of the stories are simply outrageous,
but they're all thoroughly documented. In one recent one, a male
student was accused of some sexual misconduct by a woman who wasn't even
a student at the university. He was expelled, of course. In another, a
male student had an "inappropriate" - but 100% consensual - physical
relationship with a female athletic trainer. The trainer insisted
repeatedly, and to the end, that the relationship was consensual, but of
course the student was expelled.

Here's a good one from today's "cultural appropriation" file:

"Millikin Fraternities Told Face-Painting Is Cultural Appropriation and
Will Be Punished"

http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/11/millikin-fraternities-told-face-painting

They make the point, as they consistently do, that as a private
university, Millikin may set any rules it wants. However, they go on to
point out that this is intellectually and ethically indefensible, and of
course they're right.

And here is a really alarming one about the cops simply stealing $20,000
from someone as an "asset forfeiture", even though the traffic search
and the search of the man's car were completely without cause and
illegal, no charges were ever brought, and the district attorney moved
to reverse the forfeiture. A court threw out the DA's motion, and the
man's $20,000 was kept. *Only* libertarians and a few conservatives
oppose asset forfeiture; the left ardently supports it.

http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/11/arkansas-trooper-steals-20000-because-no

That's why gunkie hates reason.com - it shows that everything he
believes in, 100% of it, is wrong.

Here's a good one from reason.com about the left-wing police/nanny state
today:
http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/12/3-girls-walk-to-school-cops-force-them-i

Three girls, two of them in their teens, were walking to school because
the bus driver, a substitute, missed their stop. They were 50 yards
from the school when the truancy police detained them and forced them
into a police van.

reason.com has published numerous pieces about parents who have been
arrested because they allowed their children to walk unsupervised a
couple of blocks to school, a park or a store or restaurant. This is a
result of proggies.

Hey, if you all keep ignoring me, I'm going to report you!

In the UK we call this type of shit the "jobsworth" mentality. Is it socialist?
Yes maybe it is. Its certainly not liberal.

I spent some time on the website a couple of days ago. It's
refreshingly truthful and informative. No wonder Gronk doesn't like it.

That was determined by the source.
