Two Colleges Pull Race Card On Objectivity

Next year a course is being offered at Hobart and William Smith Colleges that claim "objectivity" is "white mythology."
The word "sophomoric"~even a "sophomoronic" alteration~sprang into me dino's dastardly mind for being a European mutt mix after I read~""White Mythologies: Objectivity, Meritocracy, and Other Social Constructions" is a sophomore level course taught by (Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee), who are sociology and anthropology professors, respectively.
Betcha bacon that these two well-studied role playing pillars of higher education voted for an obvious crook like The Evil Hag just because a black socialist POTUS touted her as his cackling down from a broomstick peaches and cream replacement.

    “what is meaningful to the collective has to be just as meaningless.”
    Don’t tell them that. Their heads might explode!

    Oh! That's why I'm so objective! Just look at me!

    Yet another reason for me to keep using the term, "The New Dark Age". Logic goes bye-bye... Next, they'll be wanting to throw me in a lake. If I float, I'm obviously a warlock and need to be burned at the stake...

    I will get to see soon as one of my sons is finishing his degree in air traffic control in 2 years and will see what happens.

    Yeah, but what is meaningful to the collective has to be just as meaningless.
    Peer pressure isn't as meaningless for meaningless, though.
    Because of their nursed tender feelings, these educators of the meaningless always want to stay on the good side of their meaningless progressive peers.

    ...very much like the illusionary voice that occupied bicameral man's head for most of our existence until a couple of us put a down payment of the voice of self and became conscious beings.

    Nothings been the same ever since!...laughing.

    My dear fossil, you may have envisioned what gives me the willies, like one of our wonderfully diverse ATC folk directing a suitably large airliner into a well populated community.

    By God I think he’s got it! Their individual existence is meaningless to them, without the collective. It is the collective that tells them what meaning...means.

    That is the key!...one's own existence is meaningless to them. Existence itself is meaningless.
    They don't even appreciate their own existence!,...let alone Objectivity...

    Trump has expressed a desire to privatize air traffic control, pointing to how Canada improved their system by going private. Of course the swamp critters had a conniption and blasted him for the idea.

    Me dino has been to enough Chinese restaurants to discern that not all Asians are on top of the food chain for smarts.
    Nevertheless, brainy or not, I admire the work ethic exhibited by most Asians.

    Loudly point out the obvious racism! How can you tell if a person is being racist? Well, if you are race colorblind it’s obvious. If you believe that all races have equal individual rights it’s obvious.

    This has gone well beyond two colleges. It is a brutally progressive cancer that has been spreading rapidly for years.

    Only a small number of professors seem to have the courage to fight back with well reasoned arguments. Every one of them has been indentity labeled, “Alt right.”
