…are ruining engineering school.
No surprise, they ruin everything they come near. They have the reverse Midas’ touch.
[Late-afternoon update]
There may be a scientific reason that SJWs are so whiny.
[Update a while later]
The fences are closing in:
Born as free Americans, you are being treated as sheep.
Raised as proud Americans, you are learning the lessons of shame.
Schooled as thinking Americans, now you’re told to abandon open debate, objective truth, even the scientific method and mathematics. They are somehow “racist.” They’re the products of “privilege.”
What do the brilliant minds behind Tim Kaine’s Democrat Party want to replace them with? A set of stern, angry dogmas that have taken over our colleges and our corporate human resource departments. And dogmas like “intersectionalism,” which demonize whole groups of people such as Christians and conservatives. They want to say that their voices shouldn’t be heard and they shouldn’t be protected from hate and discrimination. You should be able to spew hate about them for years, as tech reporter Sarah Jeong did and then still get hired for the editorial page of the New York Times. Andrew Sullivan, a liberal gay writer, warned us in New York magazine that the Democrats have been hijacked by a new, puritanical cult, and it’s already running witch hunts. So Sarah Jeong called him a racist and tried to get him fired. If that can happen to famous, liberal, gay writers, what do you think they’re planning for your pastor? For conservatives who teach school? For you and your children?
The witch hunters can’t afford to let you question them because their excuses will fall apart. So they impose them instead by legal action, by harassment, by collusion and blacklisting. Unable to defend their new creed with reason, these ideologues instead forbid our questions. They isolate, target, and try to destroy dissenters. They spray them with social and professional plutonium as “an example to the others.” That tactic is straight from the playbook of totalitarian movements. We have seen all this before.
Yes. And the irony, of course, is that they call us fascists.
[Monday-morning update]
The story about SJWs ruining engineering is no joke.
[Bumped from a week ago]
Now: “We need more women engineers!”
30 years from now: “We need more work visas for engineers because we can’t find enough good domestic ones!”
Both have been part of the dogma for decades now.
The physical sciences are about 2 weeks behind, and closing the gap fast.
A couple things happen when an ideology is based on the moral obligation to fight monsters. Any action is deemed acceptable and outside the bounds of normal ethical concerns. Monsters must be found to justify the existence of the ideology. When no monsters exist, they must be created.
There is no end state where society reaches some sort of harmony because the ideology doesn’t allow for the possibility that it will no longer be needed. Instead the SJW ideology operates under the continuous revolution model.
Engineering is sexist because it has right and wrong answers, and you don’t get rewarded for trying.
We’re rapidly approaching the point where society is faced with a choice between SJWs and flush toilets. Because they are wrecking our ability to keep these things going.
Nah, toilets will still flush long after we run out of food. Sucks to live in Venezuela today, but it will soon suck to live in South Africa.
I think the real problem is how engineering colleges and their faculty have bought into Climate Change, Sustainability and Renewable Power.
The initial work on hydraulic fracturing for gas and oil came out of government grants to academics? Would anything like this be considered today?
Hunt the SJWs through the streets. Publish their photo, their email addresses, and their home addresses in as many places as possible. If people encounter these Marxist sub-animals on the streets, in restaurants, or any other public place, encourage people to deny them service and insult them at will. No full Mao in America!
So much of this nonsense sounded silly 20 years ago, but now is approaching the seriousness of when the Third Reich segregated “Jewish Science” out as invalid and proceeded with it’s own special brand of knowledge…
