I see that VT is caving to political correctness gone crazy...


For example VT has a Bias Related Incident Protocol that would encompasses words or actions that contradict the "spirit of the Principles of Community". What does that really mean? The rules specifically call out ethnic jokes as an example of an event subject to the protocol. These reportable activities (among others) potentially subject the speaker/doer to discipline. Is VT becoming a reeducation camp for those who have a different opinion? If I said something negative about illegal immigrants for example would I be subject to discipline? How about a woman in a bikini on a poster (offensive to women)? Saying a woman (or a man) has a nice body part (demeaning)? And on and on.....Ok maybe I'm overreacting but it certainly seems that the school has better things to do than encourage reporting me if I say to my buddy that Muffy has a nice butt and I'm overheard by some tight assed loser that is "offended".
