Yesterday I visited the University of Rhode Island with my son
to pick up my granddaughter who is a freshman there. They live
in South Carolina but she picked the URI for college in part
because she was offered a very good scholarship there.
Anyway, on the ride back to our house she was telling me about
some of her professors and what they are saying to students.
One asked the class how many genders there are. Some answered
"two" (which of course is what the professor *wanted* them to
say so he could go on a rant about how the number of genders
is "infinite".
Another black professor told her class that he has "post traumatic
slavery syndrome" because he attended some kind of rally in the
south in the 1980's and some members of the KKK were there. He
claims that experience has traumatized him ever since.
My granddaughter is very much apolitical but has already been
singled out because she's from South Carolina. She said *nobody*
is allowed to even utter the name "Trump" without getting in
a pissing contest with both fellow students and university staff.
Her answer to the professor's question about how many genders
there are was, "As many as Facebook and Instagram says there are".
