Yoga studies college professor orders students to use gender pronouns on assignments or grades take a hit

A professor at Loyola Marymount University allegedly warned students that points will be deducted from their grade if they don’t include gender pronouns in their blog posts.

This is the kind of useless bullshit that needs to be banned from college campuses to protest naïve students from following fruitless academic majors.

 

[Mr Person]

The things Fox orders people to feign outrage about...



At any rate, these are the kinds of threads people remember when Trumpists start raging about "cancel culture" and the like. American doesn't like what a professor said, so @American wants government to ignore the first amendment by "banning" professors from saying it. Yeah, ok.

Seems to me it's the left who is fegning outrage over a pronoun.

You, too...can take Yoga studies as a part of your college education at this university for the low low cost of $72,035 a year LOL

What happened to freedom of speech? Really sick of liberals demanding acceptance of far left ideology or else.

Without Trump around, they've lost billions.

It literally is. You linked a fox news article. If the local country paper was reporting on this I'd be more understanding.

When you take Yoga Studies, you can write your own ticket into Wall Street when you graduate

I don’t care what they study…but I also don’t want to hear how there needs to be “student loan forgiveness” for individuals that sign on the dotted line to spend $XXXXX a year for hard hitting courses such as yoga…and then think they deserve to have their loans forgiven.

I hadn't seen that concern addressed in the OP's article. An entirely different concern. Fox is upset that pronouns were asked for, and several here are upset that Yoga is taught.

I don’t care if Yoga is taught.

But spending $XXxxx annually to take these kind of courses strikes me as a waste of money.

No one said college kids make great choices though.

Hopefully they’ll learn to include the proper pronouns in tag lines.

A half century ago students took "Music Appreciation" and tennis classes. There's nothing wrong with a little music, or tennis, or yoga for that matter.
Fox found a double trigger here. ..... Yoga and Pronouns.... and the fans have a new complaint of the day.

A half century ago, people didn’t get funneled from high school to college at nearly the rates they do today.

Nor did college cost anywhere close to what it costs today.

Additionally, there weren’t cries about needing “free college” and “student loan forgiveness”

Like I said, go and learn anything you want. It’s your money. Just don’t expect Joe Taxpayer to want to rush to forgive your student loan debt.

There are more yoga teachers than coal miners.

Would you loan money to someone who can't pay it back? College loans are a scam preying on young people. Going to college is a good thing, we should encourage people to do it, not bankrupt them for it.

At an average salary of less than $30/hr

Hope they get lots of grants, not hundreds of thousands in student loan debt.

Did you go to college? A private college?

Plenty of amazing community colleges and state universities at reasonable prices, not the $72K a year of this private university.

 

[BirdinHand]

Did you go to college? A private college?

I did. With a hefty academic scholarship and then also paying back every single penny of my student loan debt.
