[www.thedailybeast.com] "Fifty years after the birth of the free speech movement at the University of California, Berkeley, officials across the UC system are encouraging faculty and students to purge mundane, potentially offensive words and phrases from their vocabularies." ********* California Professors Instructed Not to Say ‘America is the Land of Opportunity’ "That’s one of several phrases deemed a ‘microaggression’ at faculty leader training sessions initiated by University of California President Janet Napolitano" [www.thecollegefix.com] Edited 1 time(s).
