Campus 'social justice conversation' devolves into whinefest over Trump, Milo, College Republicans - The College Fix
Campus 'social justice conversation' devolves into whinefest over Trump, Milo, College Republicans - The College Fix
From denouncing College Republicans to bemoaning Donald Trump as president, a recent 90-minute kvetching session at UC Irvine featured a variety of students complaining about the perceived grievances they face.
...
Among a highlight reel of additional quotes, according to the audio recording:
“Just listen to black trans women … I’m a strong believer that when one black trans women are liberated, everyone is liberated.”
“As of right now with his inauguration, his supreme court appointees, and his cabinet, there is no check and balance. The only true check and balance we have is the people.”
“A campus that brings a Breitbart white supremacist to campus twice can not claim to be supporting students of color. If you prioritize the free speech of a non-student over the tangible safety of students of color, you are not supporting students of color.”
“When I got a pacifier handed to me and I saw my peers getting pacifiers handed to them I was pretty uncomfortable.”
“’We will not shy away from racism,’ yet they refuse to name College Republicans, Milo Yiannopoulos and Breitbart in the same letter.” (Referring to an email administrators sent out to the students condemning racism.)
“I don’t have a job, I don’t really care, because at the end of the day I am at a university.”
“As of right now with his inauguration, his Supreme Court appointees, and his cabinet, there is no check and balance. The only true check and balance we have is the people”
“I don’t think it’s possible for any of our organizations or communities to combat Trump alone. We need to come together in the U.S. in the intersectionality of these issues if we really want to combat Trump.”
“It’s not a matter of who [Trump] is going to hit, it’s when.”
“Something that’s worked on the med school campus is making cultural sensitivity training mandatory for people to attend. There needs to be lectures or small group sessions where everyone must go. I like the idea of creating spaces where it’s a class or something for credit.”

“As someone who fights for liberal values, I am not sympathetic to the white voters who make over $50,000 a year and said that ‘we are going to vote for Trump,’ those people, I am not sympathetic to and I do not believe that you have to open your heart to them.”
“If you are a person of color in this room, if you are a woman in this room, you do not have to open your heart to them. They told you you’re not a person and it is okay to deal with that how you want.”
“Let’s be clear, this is violence. People are going to die because of what happened. Whether it is state backed violence that happens because they’re going to defund the affordable care act and people are going to lose their healthcare. Whether it will be state backed violence because we will change our policies that were moving forward on protecting people with disabilities.”
“Or whether it will be direct state violence when the state intervenes in communities that are not white communities, people are going to die because of what happened. And if we don’t start there we can’t have a conversation. People’s lives are on the line now and it’s time to get real about that.”

That's what I was thinking, even with a Public Relations degree within a couple years of graduating I was making $50k/yr in OK. Which is a poor/cheap state to live in.
*I was not however working in Public Relations.*

$50k is easy starting money for a B of S degree but that's not what the B of A communications and sociology ***** get until they are in the second level of management in many places. And in Arts programs, the B of A is the new HS diploma and the Masters is the new Bachelors. Mostly because HS doesn't teach what they used to and B of A programs give you very little of anything useful to employers.

Or do they make dolls now that have breasts and penises? Or short hair and vaginas?

(Ha, see what I did there?
)But for serious, it's an actual thing which both the Pink media and the Mainstream (evil, oppressive, white, male, cisgendered, patriarchal) media are reporting on:
Jazz Jennings made into world’s first transgender doll
Jem Collins 11th February 2017, 4:42 PM
Jazz Jennings first hit the headlines after opening up about being trans on YouTube two years ago.
After racking up millions of views online she also landed a reality TV series, All That Jazz, and teamed up with Clean and Clear for a new advertising campaign.
However, the 16-year-old is now set for another first, as a doll of her likeness is set to become the first transgender toy on sale.
The 18-inch doll will be unveiled in New York next week and is the handiwork of toy company Tonner Doll. It’s believed to be the first transgender doll on the market.
Tonner said they had chosen Jazz for their next doll to continue their history of representing “socially transformational heroes”.
CEO Robert Tonner added: “Jazz stands for everything I respect from a human nature point of view – she’s incredibly brave, intelligent, warm-hearted and creative.”
Jazz is an honorary co-founder of the Transkids Purple Rainbow Foundation, as well as the youngest person ever featured in The Advocate Magazine’s Forty Under 40.
As well as speaking at universities and conferences, the teen has also written a number of books about her experiences.
Opening up about dating while transgender, she also previously said it could be “social suicide” for potential partners.
“Let’s face it, your average straight cis-gender teenage boy isn’t going to pursue a relationship with a trans-girl.” she added.
“Even if he does find her attractive, it could be social suicide if he acts on his feelings. I know this because this is my life.”
However, she has previously suffered from abuse from hate groups. Right wing protesters One Million Moms attacked her for trying to “normalise the transgender lifestyle”, and a school cancelled readings of her book after pressure from Liberty Counsel.
