And to top off the rant, here is something about St Blake:
Me-too is quite, for some reason.

Has UCLA established an endowed chair of 'Idiocy, Invented History, Reactive Emotionality, Bizarre Ethnic Theory, Tranny Rage and Higher Censorship' yet? It's one of my alma maters, and its time has come. This would make me feel that my tax dollars are well spent.

I have to say, I was a bit shocked to see Heather posting that link as she is a bit less plugged in to Twitter than Bret. I suppose I shouldn't be fooled by her mild demeanor as her essay, The Boat Accident, attests to the fact that she is tough as hell. I had to stop reading it several times to catch my breath...

The University of California Los Angeles has launched an inquiry into a teacher for reading aloud Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" because the civil rights document includes the n-word.
In a department-wide email obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon, UCLA political science chair Michael Chwe and two other department leaders condemned lecturer W. Ajax Peris's use of the racially incendiary word in a lecture he was delivering about the history of racism against African Americans. UCLA officials said the department referred Peris, an Air Force veteran, to the university's Discrimination Prevention Office (DPO) and urged students to come forward with complaints. The email also faulted the postdoctoral lecturer for showing a documentary to the class in which a lynching is described and not stopping the presentation when students complained.
"The lecturer also showed a portion of a documentary which included graphic images and descriptions of lynching, with a narrator who quoted the n-word in explaining the history of lynching. Many students expressed distress and anger regarding the lecture and the lecturer's response to their concerns during the lecture," said the letter, which was signed by Chwe, vice chair for graduate studies Lorrie Frasure, and vice chair for undergraduate studies Chris Tausanovitch. "We share students' concerns that the lecturer did not simply pause and reassess their teaching pedagogy to meet the students' needs."
This is beyond onion or Babylon Bee...
