    Why are you so hell bent on forcing integration?

    Every ethnicity would prefer to live in their own neighborhoods.

    I just want to make sure you can't stop integration.
    Not so much with younger people who also intermarry.

    I think the Pew article above could be an eye-opener for you.

    Times are changing and you may as well get used to the idea.

    Hate: weaponizing a word to shut people up
    All decaying civilizations have a decaying language

    Some call the changes an “evolving” thing or a “living language” but when all the changes produce ambiguous misunderstandings or emotional reactions rather than analytical ones, it’s obvious the abuse of words is just degradation for political gain, not progress. Civil behavior is what makes civilizations. Any barbarian can rant with indignation.

    When words are exploited we lose meaningful tools.

    It’s about free speech

    One word has become a favourite weapon to silence people and stop discussions. Hate.

    Pat Condell reminds us that “hate” is a powerful word, the darkest emotion, an extreme word — but it’s misused and abused now for any old reason, but only in a selective way. . . . .

    I think you are confusing a freedom of choice with indoctrination. In the US universities no one is forced to take the classes you mentioned. Our students are free to select ‘anti-racism’, ‘pro-gender’ or ‘intelligent design’ classes.
    In the communist countries the story is totally different – students are obligated to take Marxist and other pro-communist classes. This is a typical example of communist education:

    I think universities have the right to create any classes they want and students have the right to chose it or not. Blaming universities the declining popularity of the Republican ideology is a lame excuse.

    The original thread started with comparison of the US universities and universities of China, North Korea and Iran. I have no doubt that US universities are much freer than the above places of education.
    About the restrictions of the free speech in the US: I am for free speech – I think people have right to freely defend racism, fascism, communism, democracy or religion. Unfortunately today the majority supports political correctness, very sad.

    The Georgetown Affair: New Levels Of Progressive Reality Denial
    April 13, 2021/ Francis Menton

    • Just a few months ago (December 2020) I declared that the “essence of progressivism is refusal to deal with reality.” I had some pretty good examples in that post, but none of them can top the current convulsions that are upending Georgetown Law School.

    • At Georgetown recently, a teacher made the mistake of uttering a small dose of reality while speaking to a colleague. This occurred after a recorded class had concluded and everyone else had signed out, but while the recording of the class was still running. Needless to say, the recording of the teacher’s remarks promptly hit Twitter. Thereupon, all hell broke loose.

    • The subject of the reality that must not be spoken is of course the current all-consuming obsession of academia, namely race. The question I pose is, are Georgetown, and for that matter all of academia, taking this obsession so far as to fully undermine their principal mission?

    Why would you include females under males?
