Try again. That case lops publics unis under the Establishment clause...which is wonderfully named as such because it restricts Congress form making any “law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...”

Now replace “Conress” with “Public Universities” and there is the crux of…

I can see how you may have thought that - and yes, that wasn’t the point I was making. But it wasn’t that clear, true.

1) I didn’t suggest or explicitly state schools should “screen” for racists. Those are your words. And I agree, it is impossible minus utilizing dedicated vetting panels. Which, considering the amount of money they throw toward avoiding effectively investigating campus rape allegations, I’d say may actually be…

Ignore this sad human being.

“Fact is, nothing short of an armed insurgency is going to change the status quo”

Man, where would Black be today had MLK had these same thoughts. Or the Indian subcontinent had Ghandi thought like you?

Seems your absolutist superlatives are making you look like a jackass again.

Damn I wish I got this reference. I’m sure I’d be impressed - 30 sec of Googling yielded nada.

SoVeryBlessedToComment - I’d advise you do two things:

Lulz. :)

Fair point - but the school admin IS the body that would pursue these students. Look at the SAE Oklahoma incident - the OU president absolutely spearheaded the uni’s reaction to that. And was widely praised for acting simply put, like an intelligent person living in the modern age who saw all persons of all colors…

Bingo.

And honestly, you get it - this isn’t a unique construct - ultimately, the power of any system lies in those propping it up, not the few at the top being propped up.

If slavers have no working slaves (yes, I’m invoking that imagery), then they don’t prosper; when factory workers strike and/or walk out...the assembly…

I don’t think so - I think if he had stated that “systematic oppression is a reality whereby endemic elements in various levels of the private and public sectors both implicitly and explicitly oppress a group of people,” then there may have been some shouting for him to specifically say the words “black” and “white”,…

Lol - this is true. He should quite higher ed admin and just start handing out lottery numbers to the poor.

Without knowing the details of the incident, I am inclined to agree with you on account of one fact alone: It’s the Midwest we’re talking about here.

Having attended a school in the South I have seen first-hand the effect of the Good Old Boys network running local governments, schools, and colleges. As much as people…

Sooooo the football players - the only students on the uni’s campus who can provide the unique brand of entertainment the Midwest as a region craves - are withholding this entertainment to the detriment of the university to further their - very justifiable - ends?

If you mean OWS has ultimately succeeded in EVERY one of their goals they set out, and jailed all the bankers and brought about financial utopia for everyone - then yeah, it failed.

JimZ - please point out in the OP’s post where they stated that their generation is the first to ever do such a thing. I reread it twice - and didn’t see this in there - implied or stated.

Apropos of this - if I an proud of my child for getting an ‘A’ grade in algebra, I am not implicitly stating that my child is the…

Coooooooooold Blooded!!!

That is incredible :)

PowdWog - sorry, no break for you.
