Teachers are apparently starting to use purple pens to correct papers because red is too ‘harsh’. I wonder whether it occurs to them that is purple is used to point out students’ mistakes, it too will be seen as harsh. The Washington Post interestingly mischaracterizes a passenger’s encounter with a Metro station manager. 'Minority' students in Montgomery County, Maryland score lower than 'white' students, and the answer, of course, is more 'diversity'. Hate-crime laws are being used to harass people with merely unpopular, rather than hateful, opinions. A tale of 'cultural sensitivity' run amok. Vintage Tino! What the Klan and the Multiculturalists have in common. |
