I'm inclined to view them with a sort of pity, as someone who has missed the point of inclusion in the traditions of the university. <br /><br />Even if you're right, though, the WPost is still punching down. These are the weak, and we ought to defend them.

Sororities are bastions of class privilege, as it were, and face it, it was the rich Southerns who started the war. so then it is guilt by association and so forth.

I believe this actually means this writer is a doctoral student and the book is her dissertation.

Academics, activists on government grants, union leaders on money the government takes out of union members' paychecks, they all get paid for coming up with stuff like this and forcing it down our throats.<br /><br />What's really brilliant, though, is that the right loses money through activism: They have to take off work to do this sort of thing. Also, their taxes go to support the leftist movers and shakers.<br /><br />Logistically, the right can't win.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-45937747714749181752015-08-16T16:34:31.437-04:002015-08-16T16:34:31.437-04:00I have to hand it to these people, how ever do the...I have to hand it to these people, how ever do they come up with this stuff? They can't possibly have real jobs or real lives.<br /><br />I suppose there is no point in mentioning that 40+% of the population of SouthCarolina and 45+% of population of Georgia was born outside of the South, like most of the states of the old Confederacy. It's like they pulled a Rip Van Winkle and are unaware of the North to South migration of the last 60 years. I hear there are subdivision in the Carolina's where almost everyone is from NJ or Long Island.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288007567973279023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-82945548996968078882015-08-16T16:31:09.564-04:002015-08-16T16:31:09.564-04:00I'm contrary enough that I'd be tempted to...I'm contrary enough that I'd be tempted to organize a Victorian Christmas fair and dance charity fundraiser, and invite everyone to come in period attire if they so choose.

What strikes me on reflection is that this same office would come down like a hammer on anyone at the school who tried to tell sorority girls that they couldn't wear skirts that were <i>too short</i>. Telling them they can't wear skirts that <i>contain hoops</i> is just fine. In fact, more than fine, it's probably mandatory. <br /><br />The reason you can't say that the skirts must be of a certain length is alleged by the Office of Civil Rights to be that it is wrong to police the female body, or to impose limits on womens' freedom of expression via politics. It turns out, I suppose, that the truth is that the Office of Civil Rights merely believes in arrogating that power to itself alone.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-59348516942294322882015-08-16T13:47:18.733-04:002015-08-16T13:47:18.733-04:00If they don't like something, you shouldn'...If they don't like something, you shouldn't either. And if shaming you and laughing at you for being unfashionable doesn't work (it works far less well on conservatives than liberals), then they gradually move to consequating a behavior, then forbidding it.<br /><br />It is a largely successful strategy, taken as a whole, because it is gradual, and the opponents grow fewer every year.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-83301138870180343612015-08-16T13:35:42.834-04:002015-08-16T13:35:42.834-04:00The phobia(s) that may destroy America
