I was browsing Binghamton University's website and came across this...
'Here's the deal on Binghamton's '#StopWhitePeople2K16'
'...“The program title ‘#StopWhitePeople2K16′ was drawn from a familiar hashtag
in use on Twitter, and was not invented by the program facilitators,”
Brian Rose said. “It is my understanding that the hashtag is used ironically.”
Rose noted that although the majority of attendees said the program resulted in
“respectful and productive conversation,” there were also several students who
had a “mixed reaction.”
Rose also said that the administration verified that the course content was
“not anti-white” and that it explored a variety of topics, including reverse racism,
segregation and community relations...'

Is it me, or would it be that most people would assume an educated tutor would have
persuaded the 'three school’s current residential advisers' NOT to have used that title?
The essence of a University is to add extra education and training for the young men and
women setting out in society. The generations that pass through these academies should
be equipped to the gills to aid them in their roles in society, not burdened them with:
'instruct them how to respond to “uneducated” people about these topics,
according to a description in the school’s residential assistant training schedule.'
That's their parents' task.
I am refusing to look at the idea that this sort of misuse of 'irony' brings any polemical
fame to the University on the off-chance that it's a case of 'any advertising is good advertising'
and agree with Miss Yarussi's Face-Book comments, these guys are idiots.
