It is “enough to participate in a community that emphasizes care for the whole person” is gobbledegook. The purpose of a university is to teach, facts and a lot of them, and a system by which these facts are made coherent.
The rest is a self-indulgent swindle by the institution and its faculty and administration.
Remember when “The Onion” was satire?
Sigh.
The reader comments were quite a beat down of the author’s views.
“Rape culture is a system that thrives on silence. Students cannot allow Georgetown’s sexual assault discourse to be subdued by those who would downplay the problem at hand.”
College/ University girls are Cosby’d all the time, what’s to downplay?
That Onion article is dead on.
rape culture, hmmm, it does not get much dumber than that.
What happned iin Baltimore are the results of Diversity
Hah silly citizens, your critical thinking is no match for our critical theory!
Question for you all. Is the article an example of “goodthink” or is it “rightthink”. Too bad George O. is dead. Otherwise I’d just ask him. (I get so confused by it all……………maybe “universitythink”?)
An honest writer might have summed it all up with: “We don’t have to know what we’re talking about, we’re college students.”

Actually it said “Rape culture is a system……….”
Nice.
The FBI statistics show that “Disaffected Youth” on Liberal White rape is 15 times more likely than the other way around. Just wait until Islam lands full force on American Liberal no gun zones.
The problem is that academia is producing dysfunctional graduates with exotic degrees while reaping windfall profits, for the Univercity & faculty, gained from Student Loans & Government Grants. The 4 year graduate ends up with 30K in taxpayer loans and is lacking the skill set to obtain gainful employment needed to pay back taxpayers. This will only change if the University is required to Co-Sign and guarantee the Loan.
This will guarantee that only that education resulting in a real world Job is funded by student loans.. Enough worthless investment in basket weaving & graduates that lack critical thinking tools been stuck in the fog of deception..
Those that can self-fund a nothing degree will flock to the nothing Universities like Georgetown…
And the American mind closes one more notch.
Even Allan Bloom could not have predicted such intellectual depravity.
I take solace only in the knowledge that a reset is coming. It’s inevitable and can’t come too soon. All the “safe” rooms will be very busy long after the students have left to line up at soup kitchens while the professors contemplate the reality that their skills in filling student minds with nothing but garbage qualifies them for nothing,…except standing behind students in the same lineup. Karma that’s well worth the wait. I still remember Russian professors scavenging potatoes that were missed by machines when the USSR collapsed back in the 80’s. Vindictive ? Hell no. Fed up ? Ohh yes!
Very good interview with a smart ex-porn star trashing feminism, cultural Marxism, Islam, and Rape Culture.
“The Truth About ‘Rape Culture'”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYo1ewgG94M
The comments on this article at the link are amazing, and gives me hope that perhaps things aren’t quite as bad as some of us think.
This article is further cements my belief in limiting the number of people who can crowd into a university and how universities are funded.
People would rather engage in total fantasies for some bizarre reason than believe the truth.
Universities are the new insane asylums.
Canada already has such deranged thinking enshrined in law and this is basis of so-called “human rights” commissions where truth is no defense and personal feelings trump the facts. What has thus far saved the USSA from such totalitarian structures is the 1st Amendment which protects what statists view as “hate” speech. When university attempts to silence unpopular views have been challenged on constitutional grounds in the USSA, universities have lost every time.
With the chimp in chief viewing himself as a constitutional “expert” expect this racist document authored by dead white males to be overturned in the near future as the “safe spaces” are expanded to cover all of the USSA. Hopefully that’s when the wisdom of the 2nd Amendment will be made obvious.
There are some very good professors and some very bright students at Georgetown, at one time one of the world’s pre-eminent Catholic universities; by carefully choosing one’s classes, a student can graduate with something like a good education. One can, by similar care and prudence, get a good education at McGill. The major difference is that four years at McGill will cost about what one semester at Georgetown does.
We err, however, in focusing on universities alone. They are just continuing the thought control and manipulation that their students first experienced in day-care centres.
Our universities have been tanen over by the leftists marxists scumbags
