“George Washington University (GWU) President Ellen Granberg condemned the projections of “Glory to our martyrs” and other anti-Israel slogans onto George Washington University’s (GWU) library on October 24.”https://jewishjournal.com/news/united-states/364737/gwu-president-condemns-glory-to-our-martyrs-slogan-projection-onto-gwu-library/
It seems only a hate crime applies to one who disagrees with the Left or disagrees with the murdering of innocent Jews. In Sydney, Australia those who chanted “Gas the Jews” were allowed to carry on right in front of the police. However, a man carrying an Israeli flag was jumped upon by the police and forcefully removed and told to leave and not to come back. If he did come back he would be ARRESTED FOR “BREACHING THE PEACE”! All of this in a so-called multicultural democratic society. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ONE DAY MAKES!
‘On its website, the Western University Student Council (USC) claims that females, transgender and “non-binary” peoples are not the only ones who experience periods.
“Menstrual products are a necessity for a large portion of Western’s population, and students who menstruate, including but not limited to female, non-binary, and transgender students, require access to these products in order to move through daily life,” reads the USC’s website.
According to the Western Gazette, the union plans on installing 150 Aunt Flow dispensers that feature free “100 percent organic cotton, biodegradable and synthetic-free tampons and pads” in men’s, women’s and gender-neutral washrooms.
The installation of dispensers is part of the USC’s “Free the Dot” initiative, a program the union launched in partnership with its food support services that offers students free hygiene products and contraception.’https://tnc.news/2023/02/07/tampons-mens-western/

Petition
Menstrual products are not a luxury- they are a necessity. Menstrual products are a necessity for a large portion of Western’s population, and students who menstruate, including but not limited to female, non-binary, and transgender students, require access to these products in order to move through daily life. The USC recommends that Western University invest in the provision of free menstrual products to be provided in ALL washrooms on campus.

2Tiimothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
This is from an email I received this morning. The illustration fits with the cancel culture society we are now living in!
‘Picnic season is behind us here in Michigan. The leaves are off the trees, and the snow has already started to fly.
But just for a moment, think back to the joys of a summer cookout—hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and a table set with various side dishes, like potato chips, pasta salad, and maybe some fresh watermelon.
To top the grilled meats, you’ll always have ketchup and mustard.
Now imagine that one of the guests is a college student—one who only likes mustard.
This fictional student is adamantly opposed to ketchup! And not for reasonable reasons such as health or allergy concerns…no, he labels anyone who likes ketchup as a “mustard hater” who’s oppressing others by using ketchup. But this is just the beginning…like the BBQ grill, his cause catches fire.
He finds others to join his opposition to ketchup. Not long after, you can no longer find ketchup on certain store shelves, in college cafeterias, or at some company picnics. And he’s even secured apologies from ketchup manufacturers for their history of transgressions against mustard.
Anyone who still likes ketchup or tries to defend their right to choose how to top their burger or fries is excluded and silenced. You might say that…
…Ketchup is canceled!
Is this example far-fetched? Maybe it’s a little silly, but it illustrates how this sort of thing works in our “cancel culture” society.’ From an Email.
School used to be a place to learn but not anymore. Now school is a place for political activism and all too often just plain stupidity.
‘There is never a dull moment on college campuses, and every year it seems to get worse.
Without further ado, here is a Top 10 list of the most outrageous stories of the 2020-21 school year.
1) Cal State Long Beach’s new mascot: a non-binary shark who uses plural pronouns
This was the year that Cal State Long Beach unveiled its new mascot: “Elbee” the Shark. But not just any shark, mind you. Elbee identifies as “non-binary” and uses the plural pronouns “they/them/theirs.”
2) UMich’s IT department told to stop using word ‘picnic,’ it could ‘harm morale’
Those lists of words people are not allowed to say keep getting longer — and dumber. Case-in-point: a lengthy list put out by the University of Michigan’s Information and Technology Services’ “Words Matter Task Force” advised employees to avoid the word “picnic.” Apparently campus diversity gurus relied on a debunked claim that picnics are, wait for it … racist!
3) UCSB teaching assistant says he would ‘assassinate Jesus’ if he had a time machine
All that needs to be said about this one is: Can you imagine the outrage if a TA talked about taking a time machine back to off the prophet Mohammad?
4) ‘Feminist geography’ professor argues tall buildings are sexist
Leave it to a “feminist geography” professor to accuse a building of “toxic masculinity.” Apparently the city is filled with reminders of “masculine power.” That’s right, the height and shape of a building reflects “patterns of gender-based discrimination.”
5) UW-Madison students demand removal of Lincoln statue
Remember President Abraham Lincoln, the guy who basically led the charge to free the slaves and save the union? Yeah, that guy. A bunch of student activists have been demanding all year to remove a statue of him at UW-Madison.
6) Some critical theory scholars argue 2+2 can sometimes equal 5
You thought Common Core math is bad. And it is. But somehow, academia always finds a way to lower the bar. The latest is the argument (and they’re totally serious) that math is subjective.
7) GWU professor who built her career as a black woman admits she’s actually white
The headline says it all, folks.
8) Profs: Hawaiian shirts represent American colonization, imperialism, racism
Hawaiian shirts are the “embodiments of the history of American colonization” and “the fashion equivalent of a plantation wedding,” according to some scholars. What’s the next target? Watching “Magnum PI” reruns?
9) To fight racism, math teachers urged to accept Tik Tok videos instead of asking students to ‘show their work’
In case you missed it, they’re dumbing down K-12, too. The new anti-racism argument is that asking students to “show their work” is “white supremacy.”
10) Students claim soap dispensers are proof of systemic racism
Automatic soap dispensers force “black and brown bodies” to show their palms — “the only light areas of the skin” — in order to get soap out. Yes, this is real life.’https://www.thecollegefix.com/the-college-fixs-top-10-most-outrageous-stories-of-the-2020-21-school-year/
Sadly, many universities in the West are doing exactly what the CCP wants its universities to do. What’s that? ‘China’s universities should aim to train a new generation loyal to the socialist cause and with an inquisitive and innovative mindset, President Xi Jinping said on Monday.
“This year will mark the centenary of the Communist Party … the party and the state’s need for higher education, for knowledge and science and great talent, is greater than at any time before,” he said during a trip to Tsinghua University in Beijing, according to state news agency Xinhua.
He added that the aim of China’s education system is to train the “builders and successors” of socialism.Xi, an alumni of the university, made the trip as the Communist Party ramps up its preparations for the celebration of the party’s centenary on July 1.
The anniversary is Beijing’s most important political event this year and Xi has promised a “grand celebration” to mark the occasion. Officials across the country have been told to ensure social stability for the event.’https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3130187/chinese-universities-should-produce-inquisitive-thinkers-who
It is frightening how much freedom of speech and thought has been eradicated from the American institutions of “so called” higher education. This is political correctness gone wild! Oh, sorry if I offended anyone!
