Homeless in college

Or on college campus, anyway.

"While an unwoke individual might be concerned that many homeless people are substance abusers, criminals, or mentally ill, a more enlightened and woke perspective would not find this troubling in the least. Integrating America’s homeless population with America’s college students would be a natural extension of 'inclusionary zoning' which has become a basic principle of progressive urban planning.


"According to the 'science-based' policy of inclusionary zoning, 'the role of inclusionary zoning is to encourage the development of affordable housing in low poverty neighborhoods, thereby helping foster greater social and economic mobility and integration.' If this is the policy being rolled out in America’s progressive towns and cities, certainly it can also be rolled out on the campuses from which these progressive concepts originated. College campuses are, almost by definition, 'low-poverty neighborhoods.'

Given their penchant for preaching to the unwoke, Progressive officials in the University of California system should welcome homeless criminals.

"Jerry Kang, for example, UCLA’s Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion, during 2018 earned $468,919 in pay and benefits. In return for this lavish compensation, Kang and his devoted staff produced, for example, “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statements,” now required to be completed by all UCLA faculty applicants. Kang delivers talks on 'inclusion strategies,' and surely would love to include the homeless on his list of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups to bring on campus."



(Wow. Almost half a million dollars for being in charge of equity and inclusion. I am not certain what that title means, and I have a university degree, completed graduate school and worked on five daily newspapers in Texas.)

(I’d guess universities would fight equity and inclusiveness of homeless criminals, addicts, thieves and poopers, because, well, you know, “Not in my back yard.” Or, not in your free speech zone?)
