One Small Victory: University of Iowa Scraps Plans for a Political Correctness Review Board, Noting That Such Panels Quickly Devolve Into "Scolding Bodies"

Finally, people are beginning to stand up to these hysterics, neurotics, racists, and sissies.

he University of Iowa has scrapped plans to create a Bias Assessment and Response Team after determining that such bodies often become what one administrator called “scolding bodies” that can create as many problems as they are intended to solve.
Iowa’s Chief Diversity Officer, Georgina Dodge, specifically cited the uproar over the University of Northern Colorado’s bias response team, which has been criticized for policing language and violating academic freedom. Details of the UNC bias team’s overreach was first reported by Heat Street in June...
“Frankly, the [word] BART has become a bit tainted because of the actions that these people have taken,” she said. “One of the things that we’ve seen at many schools is that the BARTs have become almost punitive in nature. When we are dealing with incidents that do not rise to the level of a policy violation, how you are going to penalize someone is a big question?”

America is bleeding out and dying, but there is still a thin, thready pulse to her.

6 I think, at this point, all we can hope for is that that the bold, exceptional, fearless blood than ran through the veins of the founders, natives, and visionaries who built this nation hasn't completely lost its strength through all the leftist dilution. Maybe there's a chance, yet.

I find it interesting that universities, where they marched and screamed for freedom of expression/speech/whatever during the sixties have become the bastions of speech oppression now. The professors now were students then, but it appears they learned diddlysquat in school.

22 Speaking of Universities, my eldest daughter is hunting down her ideal university. She made this clever little spreadsheet, avg. ACT score, annual tuition, Christian Y/N, distance from home. She threw NYU in there for fun/shock value. (She'd never go there even if they gave her a full ride...) I glanced at the annual tuition for NYU...they must think highly of their libtard indoctrination program:

63,000.00 pre year.

Most major corporations have one now. I know, ive had my moments with mine who likes to come into mandatory reeducation meetings and tell us how much we should hate our industry because we epitomize white male privilege or something.

It was never about free speech and they were Communist dupes. The only speech that ever mattered to them was their own. After their "useful idiot" stage, they found they enjoyed being the very strawmen they created in the 60's, infested the universities and created their own useful idiots.

Herbert Marcuse (Frankfort School), wrote that he anticipated that speech would have to be closed back up after the balance of power had shifted. So that means that every lefty, from the 60s on, that read and followed Marcuse, is a damn liar on the subject of "free speech"--and the rest, well, you can call them dupes.

Trump 2.0 mixes dry statistics (29.9 percent are living in poverty, up from just 18.2 when Obama entered office) and the day's news (Cheryl Mills received 148 calls from the Clinton Foundation, the largest number from a single individual or organization) with hyperbolic promises (We are going to provide a great education and great jobs for all African Americans!).

I'll take it.

199 Earlier today, someone mentioned the latest Victor Davis Hanson piece at NRO. I just read it and it's excellent. There must be some exploding heads among the editors because he basically calls them out without naming names.

It's almost enough to make me join Facebook just to be able to read the comments. Almost.

200 I can only tell by the chanting and cheering that one freak after another is being thrown out.

It's Austin. I'm sure it was easier to find Clinton supporters than Trump supporters. This is the city where PP supporters chanted "Hail Satan" at pro-lifers.

201 Don't minimize victories like this. Academia is important. It's important that we have lost so many battles there. I work in academia and push back at the commies in the diversity department (and they are commies) every chance I get.

204 199: No heads will explode at NRO because of the VDH piece. I know not everyone here agrees, but NR and NRO are honest brokers. They believe in actual reasoned discussion, not everyone toeing their editorial line.

I know you're right about that - I still remember that long-winded Steorts piece about being in favor of gay marriage, complete with photos of ancient statues of cherubim, etc. It was something.

Still, I would have to think some of them, at least, would be uncomfortable. He's very well-respected there, as he should be.

I was a fan for years and years, and I still get the dead tree edition, but won't renew when this subscription runs out. I'm not a Trump fan by any means but they really lost me with the vitriol. It makes me sad. And the Facebook comments - well, that's it.

206 "Georgina Dodge" - sounds like a prize winning 4H potbelly pig.

207 #431: You already have a good trap, right? You're just wondering what to use for bait?

Hmm... have you tried eggs? Seems to me a fox would recognize those as food.

208 Sorry, I meant to post #207 in a different thread.

209 Green eggs and ham! To lure the fox into a box. (Just thought I'd add to the confusion, Prothonotary Warbler.)
