[RT] Massachusetts’ Amherst College has drawn criticism for publishing a ‘language guide’ to the latest social justice buzzwords. The ensuing fiasco is the latest battle in the neverending war over free speech on America’s campuses.
The college’s Office of Diversity circulated a ‘Common Language Guide’ last week. Flicking through its pages, the guide is an exhaustive list of the latest, politically correct, university-approved terms to describe pretty much everything.
Predictably, much of the guide’s pages are devoted to issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality, all covered from the furthest left position possible. From ‘Cultural Appropriation’ to ‘Biological Determinism,’ every social justice box is ticked. Did you know that “women cannot be ‘just as sexist as men,’” because ‘Reverse Oppression’ is not real? And when LGBT people’s achievements in the military are celebrated, that’s a blatant case of ‘Homonationalism.’
The list goes into minute detail. A “masculine-presenting queer black women whose gender presentation can be more fluid and/or androgynous than completely masculine” should simply be referred to as ‘boi,’ for instance. A ‘packer’ is a “phallic object worn in the underwear to give the appearance of having a penis.” The special underwear a packer sits into, by the way, is called a ‘gaff.’

I would suggest that school be struck with a very small tactical nuke when everyone is on vacation except for the people who wrote that trash.

NEW YORK (AP) ‐ Former Vice President Joe Biden condemned "a white man’s culture" Tuesday night as he lashed out at violence against women and, more specifically, lamented his role in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings that undermined Anita Hill’s credibility nearly three decades ago.
Biden, a Democratic presidential prospect who often highlights his white working-class roots, said Hill, who is African-American, should not have been forced to face a panel of "a bunch of white guys" about her sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas.
"To this day I regret I couldn’t come up with a way to give her the kind of hearing she deserved," he said, echoing comments he delivered last fall as the nation debated sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh amid his Supreme Court confirmation hearing. "I wish I could have done something."
Biden’s role in the 1991 Thomas confirmation hearings is among his many political challenges as he considers making a 2020 bid for the presidency. Should he run, he would be among a handful of white men in a Democratic presidential field that features several women and minorities.
His comments about Hill drew swift condemnation on social media, with many noting he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time of the hearing.

What a crock of shit. If I recall correctly (and that's generally the case), he never had a private sector job. Any of this 'working class hero' crap we hear about him only resulted from him once sitting next to a plumber.
[Breitbart] Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) told Breitbart News that Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) call for transparency is ironic given he used his chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee to "deceive the American people."
"Rep. Adam Schiff wants to talk transparency, so let’s see him present the evidence he has on Trump/Russia collusion," Crenshaw said. "He can’t do it because he doesn’t have it." A flawed Klingon congressional outreach program? Who knew ?
"He needs to admit that he lied and knowingly used his position on the Intel Committee to deceive the American people," Crenshaw said.
On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr delivered a letter to Congress summarizing the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller following a more than two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and any role President Donald Trump and his campaign played in that interference.
The letter cleared Trump of collusion and, accordingly, found no case for obstruction of justice.
Crenshaw tweeted about his belief that Schiff repeatedly lied to the American people about the president in his role as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Hey, it got them through the 2018 election with a motivated base. Any means necessary!
You really think it took Mueller all the time from last September to determine that there wasn't any Russian collusion? I have a bridge in San Francisco I'd like to sell you.
