#4 Raj :yep, that's some serious word salad right there.

So... can we assume that the Purdue engineering students won't be allowed to learn all of that ucky white patriarchy stuff like math, physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, statics, dynamics, electromagnetism, etc., etc., etc?

#8 Putting the A SJW in STEAM STEASJWM

Don't hire grads from SJW colleges. The angry parents who paid tens of thousands for an unemployable HR-nightmare will do your work for you in reforming academia. Also, don't forgive student loans for unemployable SJW degrees
