The Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Harvard University distributed what it is calling “Holiday Placemats for Social Justice” on campus to help freshmen students navigate difficult conversations when they return home for Christmas break.
The placemat, a copy of which was obtained by Campus Reform, offers students tips for talking to their family members about controversial topics such as “Black Murders in the Street,” “House Master Title,” and “Islamophobia/Refugees.” The placemat, divided into four possible topics of conversation, provides students with a series of sample questions they may encounter when they return home to their families along with an acceptable response to each question.

I originally thought that The Other McCain’s statement about how no white heterosexual Christian male should ever even consider attending any Ivy League school was just him taking things a bit too far, but what with the continual idiocy coming out of places like Yale and Harvard recently, I am seriously reconsidering my previous analysis.

Listen to your elders because they’re paying your tuition?
.
Listen to your elders or else?

Listen to your elders. You cannot hope to persuade someone who knows you’re not paying attention.
