She Is Not A Negro But Was Offended By The Term Negro.
A Columbia University student publicly complained about her professor using the word “Negro,” even though he said it in a lesson about 1960s America.
The Columbia Daily Spectorran a storyThursday about what happens “when professors make racially insensitive remarks.” The paper cited a complaint by student Maria Fernanda Martinez of a perceived “microagression.” Martinez said her professor told the class it was appropriate to use the term “Negro” when discussing the 1960’s, a time when that was the politically correct term for African-Americans.
“Martinez, troubled by these comments, sent her professor an email after class, including links to resources about why using the term is offensive, but said she saw no real change in her professor’s approach to teaching the material,” the Spector reported.
“I didn’t pay attention in class after that,” Martinez said.
The Spector reported Martinez, nevertheless, didn’t report the instance “because she felt that his comments were ill-informed rather than targeted at her.”
But in an email to the Spector, Professor Todd Gitlin defended the educational use of the word. “It is in fact true, a matter of historical record, that African Americans in the ’50s and ’60s wanted to be called ‘Negroes.’ Denying that practice would be a falsification of history,” he wrote.
Gitlin is in a position to speak with some authority on the matter; he was president of the left-wing Students for Democratic Action at the height of the civil rights movement in the early 1960s.
In another instance highlighted by the paper, a student complained her English professor said the N-word when reading out loud from a book.
“It’s hard to continue on, not knowing if you are welcome in a space completely or [if] people have the knowledge to welcome you to a space,” she said.

Bringing A Rock To A Gun Fight Is Like Fighting This Creature With A Plastic Fork.
The superintendent of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania’s Blue Mountain School District says his students avail themselves of rocks with which to defend against mass shooters.
WNEP reports that superintendent Dr. David Helsel told a Pennsylvania House Education Committee, “Every classroom has been equipped with a five-gallon bucket of river stone. If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance into any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full students armed with rocks and they will be stoned.”

Helsel explained how the plan to throw rocks came about: “At one time I just had the idea of river stone, they`re the right size for hands, you can throw them very hard and they will create or cause pain, which can distract.”
He stressed that doors have been re-enforced, making them difficult to break through, and students have also been trained in “barricading the doors” to make breaching them even more difficult. But the students are armed with rocks in the event that a shooter does get through.

What in the hell is the world coming to when fags can threaten people because they disagree with them?
A student Resident Advisor at Providence College has been subjected to intense harassment by classmates, including a drawing depicting him being raped, for creating a bulletin board display advocating for traditional marriage.
As word of the display spread through the Catholic college’s campus, other RAs began to assemble threateningly outside his dorm room, prompting campus police to escort him away out of concern for his safety.
School officials say they are investigating the matter, but the student contends that administrators “made it abundantly clear that they would do nothing to affirm the mission of the college” during a recent meeting.

A student Resident Advisor (RA) at Providence College has reportedly been threatened with rape after posting a flyer that expressed a traditional view on marriage.
According to LifeSiteNews, RA Michael Smalanskas has faced severe student backlash since displaying the poster on a bulletin board in early March, with upset classmates gathering outside of his dorm room and endangering his safety.
“There’s a tremendous double standard when it comes to Catholic teaching or conservative views.” Tweet This
“I couldn’t even go brush my teeth for several nights without facing a mob in my hallway,” Smalanskas told the publication.
“There had been a pro-lesbian bulletin board up for the entire month of February in one of the female residence halls,” he continued, adding that “nobody was rioting outside the girl’s door.”
The original display, which has since been vandalized and removed, portrayed marriage “the way God intended it,” and included quotes from Pope Francis and biblical scripture describing marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Screenshots obtained by LifeSiteNews depict students taking pictures of the bulletin board, blasting Smalanskas on social media, and pledging to “NOT STAY SILENT ANY LONGER!”
“There’s a tremendous double standard when it comes to Catholic teaching or conservative views,” Smalanskas told the publication. “They are just not protected in the same way” as other beliefs.
According to the student, other RAs began to gather around his residence hall and “keying into the building after hours” after he put up the display.
“They let themselves into the building and started milling around and they ripped down [the poster],” he said. “I am an employee of the college, and these are other employees of the college behaving this way.”
As the situation escalated, Smalanskas was then reportedly escorted to a secure location by the campus police as authorities became concerned about his safety.
Days after the incident, Smalanskas met with school administrators, who he said “made it abundantly clear that they would do nothing to affirm the mission of the college” or condemn the harassment.
Following the meeting, the campus police informed the student of a cartoon found in a common bathroom, depicting him being raped by another male.
Smalanskas told LifeSiteNews that a lawsuit is “not off the table by any stretch.”
Over 1,000 people have already signed an online petition started on Monday, urging the school to “condemn gay rape threats against pro-family student.”
A Providence College spokesperson told Campus Reform that “this series of incidents is under investigation,” adding that the school “will not comment on the situation while the investigation is ongoing.”
