Left-Wing Madness at Butler University

November 29, 2012
By Bruce Bawer

Earlier this week, a link at Instapundit led me to a piece by one Ryan Lovelace, a gutsy college journalism major who has dared to tell the truth about the curricular lunacy at the place where he’s studying, “a small Midwestern liberal arts institution in Indianapolis” called Butler University. His primary focus is on Political Science 201: Research and Analysis, a class taught by a black woman who calls on students, in the name of “social justice,” to use “inclusive language,” meaning language that “affirms sexuality, racial and ethnic backgrounds,” and so on, and that, Lovelace writes, expects students “to disregard their ‘American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status’ when writing and speaking in the classroom.”

Just sounds like a linguistic experiment in one class, not a general program of repression or anything. Where is the problem?

Butler University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Butler University is a private university located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 1855 and named after founder Ovid Butler, the university offers 60 degree programs to 4,400 students through six colleges: business, communication, education, liberal arts and sciences, pharmacy and health sciences, and fine arts. It comprises a 290-acre (1.2 km2) campus located 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Indianapolis.

...........................................................................................

Butler University was founded by members of the Disciples of Christ church, though it was never controlled by the church.[8] The university charter called for "a non-sectarian institution free from the taint of slavery, offering instruction in every branch of liberal and professional education."[8] The university was the first in Indiana and the third in the U.S. to admit both men and women. Butler was the first university in the United States to endow a chair designated specifically for a woman, the Demia Butler Chair (endowed in 1869). Catharine Merrill, the first person to hold the chair, became the second woman named to be a professor in an American university.[8]

The university established the first professorship in English literature and the first Department of English in the state of Indiana.[8]

She is making them think......your point?

I took American Politics from a German citizen.

 

[squeeze berry]

why just disregard whiteness, maleness, american ness etc?

Seems the black woman has an agenda

 

[Old Rocks]

Since it is a private university, seems you have no say in any agenda there.

but the customer does

PS I have the right to point out the double standards

This from those saying everyone must say "merry Christmas" and not "happy holidays" and "keep Christ In Xmas"

Those shoving PC language on others need not complain about rejecting whiteness nor maleness nor the other terms.

Sure it is if you consistently put women and minorities front and center first. Then Christian holidays and whiteness get included after. The whole idea is getting rid of force of habit. It is how you successfully do healthy things like quitting smoking and losing weight. Works for keeping one's mind healthy, too.

" the school’s arts and sciences dean defended as a way to negate students’ inherent prejudices."

So only white male american heterosexuals have inherent prejudices?

Ya think?

Radical idea, I know, but how about they speak and write correct standard English? You know, the language people use in boardrooms.

but but......

that would be racist, sexist, xenophobic and homophobic

PS

too bad I could not have been in that class. Seems they pick on the younger crowd for their indoctrination.

 

[Sunni Man]

Only white heterosexual males can be racist.

True story............

Only white male heterosexuals spend 100% of their lives being privileged. That creates inherent prejudice from not being able to relate to not being a privileged American. The males really have no idea how life is for anyone not white, male and hetero.

The class is requiring the attempt at relating to lack of privilege.

He has indeed made the most of his white half. Could he have achieved the Presidency without any white male privilege at all?

I doubt it. The 43 Presidents before Obama needed their privilege to win, too.

You're not serious about that sentence I hope. Do you think people see a white man or a black man when they "look" at Barry? He was elected in part with the help of blacks because they see only his black half.

I sincerely doubt any white person walked into the voting booth and said, "I'm voting for Barry because he's half white.
