Why would someone from GSU have an inferiority complex?

Did you know? GSU plays football in FBS.

Did you know ? GSU has the world's largest tick collection.

Ivy League schools have neither of these

Wait, is that GSU the team from Grambling? Or is it the one from Georgia State? Or is it Georgia Southern? I wish school acronyms were more widely accepted and acknowledged. For instance, everyone knows that USC refers to Southern Cal. Just keep it simple! :thumb:

It's pretty simple.
Offer them an invitation to an event where they can sign up for free healthcare, join a pride group, get coupons for skinny jeans, get free coffee, get free hacky sacks, and use any safe space or bathroom they want.
If they show up, tell them they are denied.

I passed all 8 sections of the FS exam back in 1987. Toughest test I ever took.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

You apparently have a hard time telling the difference between being troubled by or disagreeing with something versus being offended and upset by it. And the difference between wanting to revoke an institutions right or privilege to do something versus how those rights or privileges are used.

I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the students. After what happened with Harvard's soccer team you would assume a matriculated Ivy League student would be smart enough to not piss of Chairman Mao and and the Social Justice Committee. This really goes beyond Harvard, though.

If fascism comes to America, it's going to be wrapped in a (rainbow) flag and carrying a cross (of Venus). :nod: You may not live long enough to see a time where Sam Harris' anti-Islam podcasts are barred under hate speech laws, but some of us might.

They're free to do what they want but I think it'd be better if they didn't exclude people based on stuff like that. Like for instance I think someone should be able to openly declare that they are a racist and still be admitted if they meet the admissions criteria related to ability. If you do otherwise you are participating in the repression of free thought.

What I'd like to see will never happen. But it's what I'd like to see.

When I attended Harvard, there were a number of racist students, and final clubs still excluded blacks and Joos. (In all fairness, they excluded middle-class, public-school white guys as well.)And gays? Fugeddaboudit: deeply closeted, for the most part.
