‘George Mason U. Holds Separate Orientation for Black Freshmen’

“’This event is dedicated for the incoming freshman who identify as black or are supporters of black people. The Black Freshman Orientation will offer ways to be involved at Mason not only with the black organizations but also mason as a whole. This event allows incoming students for an outlook on how the Black Community at Mason is like,’ a Welcome 2 Mason website about the event states.”

Attendance by those “who identify as black” was not required, and those attending the separate (but equal?) orientation still had to attend the more diverse and inclusive “regular orientation, the university said.”

You have to wonder why, when the idea was broached by the Black Student Alliance, someone in the university’s approval office did not day, “That would be racist.” And, yes, you might wonder what the same approval office would say about a White Freshman Orientation. But, if you wonder about that, then you are a racist.

‘Penn State Math Course Covers Imperialism and Social Justice’

“The course, ‘Finite Mathematics,’ is designed for non-science majors and fulfills a general education requirement. The course is described by Penn State as an ‘introduction to logic, sets, [and] probability,’ however, the take-home tests Campus Reform received appear to contain the professor’s personal opinion and few math problems.

“(Professor Marc) Fabbri details several seemingly random environmental efforts in the Great Lakes as well as the 1965 Clean Water Act signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in section three of a course document titled ‘Would the Real Trump University Please Stand Up,’ obtained by Campus Reform.

“Over the course of two and a half pages, the professor gives a lengthy account of how he became aware of fracking before asking students to analyze statistics related to fracking violations.

“Fabbri asks students to negate the statement ‘all those who enjoy religious freedom promote cultural toleration’ after detailing, for nearly three pages, several academics’ condemnation of imperialism in a section entitled ‘Imperialism, Hubris and Cultural Intolerance: Threats to Democracy.’”

And 2+2 = whatever a Social Justice College Professor decides.
