The University of Connecticut is planning on building a dorm to segregate its African-American students, and giving it an appropriately ghettoized name.
Called the ScHOLA2RS House, the living community for African American males is set to open in 2016. According to UConn’s website, the ScHOLA2RS House is “a scholastic initiative to groom, nurture, and train the next generation of leaders to address grand challenges in society through the promotion of academic success in undergraduate programs at the University of Connecticut and in competitive graduate programs.”
Dr. Erik Hines, an assistant professor of educational psychology and the future faculty advisor to those in the dorm, said UConn will implement the living space as a “forward-thinking” solution to the fact that black male students graduate at a lower rate.
Which I believe is the PC version of “Colored folk is best off if they keep with their own kind.”
If the issue is really that African-American students are failing, how is putting them all into one segregated building the answer? And what about White and Hispanic students who are failing? Shouldn’t they get help developing better study habits as well?
If “White Privilege” is a problem is the ultimate Progressive solution by segregating the races into their own colleges.
Here’s an interesting hypothesis: What if the whole campus SJW Movement is just leftists tricking their dumbest and most radical students into blaming ‘The Patriarchy’ and ‘White Privilege’ for the fact that the Leftist-Academic-Complex has tricked them into going heavily into debt financing worthless educations?
Guarantee you, should the black males continue to fail, it will be the fault of the university, not the students.
Which, of course, will lead to grade inflation, and all of the horrible results of that.
Why did GOP vote to increase IRS budget?

I’m not too shocked that re-segregation is on the agenda of some many liberals. After all, it was a progressive initiative the first time around too. “These races don’t get along, so let’s just have the government play parent and separate them!”

Sorry for the doublepost, but typos make me unhappy enough to require it.
This was done at one of the dorms at U Mass back in the 90s. It’s probably even worse now.
Can you imagine the blow back if Trump had suggested this?
So the first student objects because the sistahs on campus aren’t getting their own dorm, the second doesn’t understand why people are objecting, and the third (a puppetry major!) thinks that people who point out that separating students by race is segregation… are racists.
It’s braintrusts like that who make me ponder the ethics of a coup that would institute a right-wing, meritocratic oligarchy.
On a separate note… This turn of events makes me wonder how many blacks would have supported segregation back during Civil Rights if the authorities had phrased it as a pro-black policy.
Today’s black students need to study black history in this month of Black History. They have lost, or never had, the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, judged by content of character an not the color of skin. Why go back in time to segregation? It was easier to blame “whitey” for all his maladies.
And only male blacks, which make for much jealousy.
“I was not pleased, my immediate thought was ‘What?’” Haddiyyah Ali, a fourth-semester Africana studies and political science major told the Daily Campus. “I know there had to be a lot of research that went into it…but just for me coming from a student perspective, my initial thought was what about black women and girls – what about us?”
I’ll tell you what’s racist: computer programming languages. All the major programming languages – C/C++/C#, Python, Perl, Fortran, Cobol, Java, etc rely on white-English words and syntax.
When will the academy provide programming languages more suited to “to groom, nurture, and train the next generation of
leadersto address grand challenges, blah, blah, blah.At least the white kids will know where to get their drugs.
@ Lobogris: And if there’s ever an HIV outbreak on campus, they’ll have an obvious starting point…
The University of California at San Diego attempted a “grand experiment” for “third world” students called Third College. Admissions were relaxed and my class of 56 incoming students in September 1972 were excited about the opportunity. Unfortunately, after the first quarter, 52 out of the 56 incoming freshmen were on academic probation. After the second quarter, many students did not return. Third College eventually was renamed as Warren College where incoming students actually qualified to attend a University of California campus. I believe Thomas Sowell has written clearly about how “special programs” designed to bring forth “equality” actually harm the individuals they are designed to assist.
I’m envisioning these college-aged kids going home for the holidays and raving about how much they love their separate-but-equal accommodations, and how they fought so hard to have them established. Grandma and grandpa practically drop dead at the table.
Last month the editor of Baltimore’s newspaper wrote an editorial about why she is more afraid of law abiding whites owning guns, than black criminals. I believe the title was the PC translation of “Ain’t no darkies in my gated community”
