[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure how a thread on changes to an honors college in Florida became derailed by abortion but….

New College is an extremely left leaning honors college with no sports teams and no grades - only pass/fail.  The changes are really extreme given this background.  But at the same time, I see the word “cisgender,” and I tune out.   Older generations of the college have found the current students, often obnoxious and absurd in that way only people who drop the Nazi bomb over everything can be.  (By the way, I wonder how offensive it would be to actual Holocaust victims to hear the left hand wring “Nazi!” All the damn time).

So it’s concerning yet at the same time by adding conservative students you are creating diversity beyond the echo chamber that existed before.  I don’t think New College was the sort of place anyone to the middle or right would have been comfortable attending before.

Generally speaking, people of color and people who are LGBTQ do not want to be around people who don't believe they have the right to exist or the right to have the same freedoms as themselves. So when people like you both-sides this, you fail to see life through the oppressed people's lens. If you cannot accept or acknowledge the two-tiered experience, then you shouldn't be commenting on it with any authority. So no, not exactly.[/quote]

So the oppressed here that you're talking about is now faced with a diverse student body (more black and Hispanic students). Are you insinuating that they're uncomfortable with that?[/quote]
