Wracked with angst over the fate of our beloved and horribly misgoverned Republic, the DiploMad returns to do battle on the world wide web, swearing death to political correctness, and pulling no punches.

Now I know why Santa did not come down our chimney . . .
Being litigious is neither aggressive, intimidating nor unprofessional and behavior in a university setting is not indicative of bedside manner. I listened to the hearing with the expectation that eventually it would come out that the guy was failing in classes, but one of the board members came straight out and said that it was his disagreement with the microaggressions talk that created the problem. This pretty clearly exemplifies how universities are now run.
It *was* okay to have differences of opinion on college campuses. But back then, they were institutions of high learning. They now fill the role of national socialism. Instead of agreeing to disagree, the intent is to 'agree to agree'. I don't think the 'microaggressions talk' was super far off in terms of content, it was just the usual amplification of perceived slights and how people might avoid them. Yet the presented went back to the old clutch "us good, enlightened people" vs "those bad people". "Look for ways to educate those stupid people when they give you the opportunity!"
The guy was right to call their anecdotes out. They were almost certainly all faked and unsupported.
I think the guy should've done what he needed to do to stay in med school though. We need doctors, not parrots or drones. We lost one there, and in his place will be another drone... so we're now short two.
Nonsense. The Indian student ought to avail himself of the courts. All this microaggression talk is playing thought police, and it should be quashed as a violation of the First Amendment--which protects not only US citizens, but also people legally sojourning in our midst.
What a great pair of dogs! The one in the foreground looks very pensive...

I think we got Donner and Blitzen. Oops! No! Silly me! I really ought to be able to tell that we got Odocoileus rather than Ragnifer.
DeleteWow. Intimidating to say the least. But I think Santa has a plan just in case.
ReplyDeleteThat is the look of, "You're the one who feeds, why are you not feeding?".
ReplyDeleteThat's, "we heard the cheese wrapper!" if I've ever seen it!
ReplyDeleteBingo!
DeleteGreat fidography!
DeleteProbably keep the post man at bay
ReplyDeletePointy ears scary, floppy ears, not so much.
