Not only is Harvard Law considering a ban on ‘offensive
\nspeech’ but it is offering freshmen (that’s “first-year students,” to them) a
\nnew course: How to be Politically Correct.
<\/font><\/p>\n

The course purports to help the young people “manage
\ndifficult conversations” and learn how to speak with sensitivity on touchy
\nissues such as race and gender.<\/font>
[Full story<\/a>] <\/p>\n

I can just imagine all the other possible
\npolitically correct courses they will offer at Harvard.<\/p>\n

Feeling your pain
\n101: Learn how to tell others with a strait face that you understand their
\nsituation while at the same time thinking about fulfilling your hedonistic
\ndreams.<\/p>\n

Playing the race card: Johnny Cochran explains how to get out of
\nany normally impossible situation by playing the race card. Learn how to go
\nthrough speeches and voting records to find occasions when an opponent made a
\ndecision contrary to the wishes of a person of color. Special guest-instructor
\nHarry Belafonte also teaches you how to deal with situations when your opponent
\nis a person of color. Expand your vocabulary with Uncle Tom, house slave, race
\ntraitor and a 101 other Ad Hominem attacks.<\/p>\n

Comparative Morality: Learn
\nhow to deal with situations where you are caught in an action still considered
\nwrong by some. This course comes with a text book that references and cross
\nreferences every sin committed by Republicans dead or alive. When faced with an
\naccusation you will deftly be able to cite the name of a Republican who either
\ndid the same thing or somehow came close.<\/p>\n

Winning life’s lottery: Learn how anyone who is richer than you could not
\nhave possibly achieved it through determination and hard work. Easily shrug off
\nanybody’s accomplishments by saying “They just won life’s lottery”.<\/p>\n

Classic Classism: This is a thorough course in political classism. Gain
\nconstituents by attacking the rich, be able to make glib statements about fat
\ncats even though you have 200 million in the bank. If your opponent makes any
\nstatement about reducing taxes just say “top one percent” over and over until
\nthey give up. Learn that the word corporation must always be preceded with the
\nwords greedy, despoiling, polluting, multinational<\/p>\n

PC History: Learn all
\nabout the history of civilizations minus dead white male Europeans.<\/p>\n

Construing the Constitution: Envision a doctrine and see how it is
\nactually in in this living document. See all the ideas that are there without
\nthe original writers even knowing about it. Perceive abortion and separation of
\nchurch and state and other modern dogmas as a right of privacy. Learn all about
\neverything but the fictional second amendment. Note: This course has a reduced
\nfee since no actual textbooks or a copy of the Constitution is
\nrequired.<\/p>\n

Uncritical thinking: Trust in your heart and everything passed
\nonto you by the professors. Learn the dangers of reality, facts, and anything
\nelse that doesn’t agree with your preconceptions.<\/p>\n

Cultural Elitism: Instructions on applying your brilliant mind to help all
\nthe little people in the world. Learn how to grab control of political processes
\nfor their own good. The ends justify the means, so effectively make everybody
\nbow down to you wishes since it will be better for them in the end. Learn how to
\nignore the cries of the people you are helping by telling them it takes a
\nvillage and that you are the head of the village. Senator Hillary Clinton will
\nalso offer a one day workshop on how to reform the medical industry with a
\ncommittee of 150 lawyers.<\/p>\n

Environmental Prophesy: Techniques of scaring
\nthe hell out of everyone with shallow discussions on global cooling, global
\nwarming, ozone holes, car emissions, jungle<\/s> rain forest depletion, oil
\nspills, melting ice caps, pesticides, cancer clusters, cell phone tumors,
\nasbestos, and franken foods. Pick the eminent doom of your choice and start
\nnonprofit groups (with you as the paid head) to help save humanity<\/s> the
\nenvironment. Course constructed by the world famous scientists Leonardo Dicaprio
\nand Sting. Note: Science 101 is not a prerequisite for this course.<\/p>\n

Racist Grammar: Avoid all of the words that sound like racial epithets. Learn
\nhow requiring someone to correctly enunciate a word is actually a racist agenda
\ndesigned to keep them down. Requiring emigrants to learn English destroys their
\nlanguage culture and makes them able to escape the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
