Columbia University hosting 6 separate graduation ceremonies on race, ethnicities

[NYP] Columbia University is planning to hold six additional graduation ceremonies for students according to their race and other aspects of how they identify.

The New York City school’s website details graduation ceremonies for Native, Asian, "Latinx" and Black students taking place for Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, General Studies and Barnard College at the end of April. Another dubbed "FLI Graduation" is for "first generation and/or low income community." The school also hosts a "Lavender" graduation for the "LGBTIAQ+ community."

Due to coronavirus restrictions, the ceremonies will take place online. It’s unclear when the separate ceremonies were announced, but Sunday was the deadline for nominating individuals in Columbia College, Columbia Engineering and General Studies for the "Multicultural Affairs Graduation Cords."

Columbia University did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

The university on Tuesday issued a statement on Twitter regarding the graduation ceremonies, saying the events "exist in addition to, not instead of, University-wide commencement and individual school Class Days," and are "voluntary" and "open to every student."

"These events are important, intimate and welcoming spaces for students aligned with these groups to come together to celebrate their achievements if they wish," the university wrote in a tweet. "They are organized in tandem with students and student groups."

#1 Yes, Darling is a lovely little village on the SA West Coast. The "Whites Only" sign is long gone. I highly recommend the Evita se Perron dinner theater. It's located in the old train station.

#2 Hope they label the diplomas accordingly.

Columbia could call the normal, serious diplomas "blue" degrees. The diploma would have a 3/4" Columbia sky-blue border so that any employer or grad schools will know it's the real deal.

As for the "latinx," skinks, stinks, skanks etc, these diplomas would be bordered with any color (or the rainbow colors) so long as it's (they're) not Columbia blue.

#3 Beyond their ability to grasp this is a racist act as anything circa pre-Civil Rights Act. They are the practicing racists. Everything else is Freudian Projection.

#4 When did this country cease being the United States of America where we celebrate our unity rather than our diverse tribes? I guess it went out with the Pledge of Allegiance, God, liberty and English as our national language.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation, under God

Indivisible with liberty and justice for all

Alas, many things are worth keeping...Damned communists.

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

George Wallace - Former Governor of Alabama

It's a sad day in this country when you can't talk about law and order unless they want to call you a racist.

Finally,The Party sees it my way !

Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here.

Attention, all oddballs and Blacks!
Beginning fall session,
Let's fight our oppression
By hauling cis whites on our backs.
