So I guess the boy scouts and girl scouts are evil too???
I wish I was making this shit up. I do. I wish I was reading some crazy right wing fake ass bs

But this is the world the left is leaving us with. If we don't stop the left now and forever, all fun will be gone. Everything offends someone. Everything excludes someone.
Deal with it.

But scholarships based on race are a OK, I guess.

In an announcement that reads like a parody of campus social justice hysteria, Harvard informed students Friday that starting in 2021 the university would punish students who join single-gender clubs like fraternities because they perpetuate "spaces that are rife with power imbalances" and send "an unambiguous message that they are exclusive preserves of men."

In an email sent out to undergraduate students Friday, Harvard President Drew G. Faust explained that starting in 2021 members of "unrecognized single-gender social organizations" will be ineligible for various fellowships and scholarships and officially banned from holding leadership positions on athletic teams and in student groups.

In an email sent out to undergraduate students Friday, Harvard President Drew G. Faust explained that starting in 2021 members of "unrecognized single-gender social organizations" will be ineligible for various fellowships and scholarships and officially banned from holding leadership positions on athletic teams and in student groups.

"Although the fraternities, sororities, and final clubs are not formally recognized by the College, they play an unmistakable and growing role in student life, in many cases enacting forms of privilege and exclusion at odds with our deepest values," Faust said in the email, according to The Harvard Crimson. "The College cannot ignore these organizations if it is to advance our shared commitment to broadening opportunity and making Harvard a campus for all of its students."

"Especially as it seeks to break down structural barriers to an effectively inclusive campus, the College is right to ensure that the areas in which it provides resources and endorsement advance and reinforce its values of non-discrimination," explained Faust.

The new policy aligns with the recommendation of Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana, who concluded after a sexual assault prevention report that it was time to clamp down on single-gender social clubs, in particular male clubs like fraternities, which he condemned as "antithetical to our institutional values."

Khurana and Faust agreed Harvard could not countenance was the "discriminatory" nature of the membership selection process, holdovers of Harvard's legacy of "gender discrimination."
 
Jesus, please hurry.. we're barely hanging on...

I have heard some make the point that the things the liberals used to fight for that were reasonable were all achieved. And now they are just attacking whatever they can to stay relevant.

Like an army if you destroy all your enemies what are you going to do? make up enemies to justify your existence.

Like the American military?

:D

We have not defeated all out enemies. If we totally dropped our military do you not think that china would not invade us?
But I know you were joking but just wanted to point out we have plenty of enemies even those we are currently not engaged in fighting.
 
Well Harvard, perhaps you need to sit in the corner and think about what you are doing.
 
Obviously, the problem is not single gendered clubs, the problem is all male clubs.

Why can't women just leave men alone? Do they have to invade every male space?



Why do women storm into male-only or male-oriented spaces and start redecorating, insisting on switching out the Rage Against The Machine with Sarah McClachlan CDs, and ordering everyone to watch their language? Is it insecurity? Is it boredom? Is it general evilness? What?

That comment could just as easily be a comical putdown of the OP if the poster making the comment was anonymous.

-

As for the OP: Yeah it is rather absurd to ban Frats and Sororieties but if a private college wants to keep them or ban , it is their right to do so.

Harvard gets guvmint money so does that mean they can claim they would be violating anti-discrimination laws if they didn't ban gender specific clubs??Which then brings up the point: what about State Universities and gender specific clubs??

But scholarships based on race are not discrimination? Not only are they banning them but punishing you if you are a member of one.

Everything discriminates. Can I just go to Harvard right now and learn for free without being accepted? Oh, I am being discriminated against.

Harvard also discriminates in favor of the children of Alumni.

I don't know if Harvard is ever going to use the argument that to comply with Gov. funding requirements they can't allow Frats & Sororieties to discriminate . I was just putting this question out there and wondering if such an argument would work for Harvard.
 
Being part of a Frat is a privilege not a right. The left can go fuck itself.
 
How hard would it be for someone on the left to cherry pick from a left wing publication and post anti right wing news constantly? I think it goes to show how butthurt some on the right are that they feel the need to do nothing but post anti liberal articles. I'm liberal and hardly care enough to post anti conservative articles day after day after day. Get over it.
 
To be fair, there are a lot of women in Harvard who are protesting against the decision.

Can you provide us with a single right wing equivalent of this kind of institutional absurdity?

Dude, you know, on multiple occasions I've stated that people blow the lack of quality of your posts out of proportion and that they're just jumping on the anti-right bandwagon to dismiss anything you say but... In the face of the American military being dismantled, your immediate reaction is "BUT CHINA IS GUNNA INVADE US!" Is this what keeps you up at night, the American global military presence being the lynchpin of global stability be damned?

China isn't interested in invading - at least, not us. They're kicking ass in the game of peace - no need for war. It's all the powers that aren't good at peace that would jump on the opportunity of war.
 
There are some schools that also banned frats. I think Notre Dame is one of them. Their reason is something like elitism or something. Now I guess that is kinda what Harvard is saying here (not sure, OP is too long, did not get chance to read article) but they are being more specific and mentioning gender, and I guess invoking a little LGBT rights maybe??

But then again isnt the whole Ivy League, and Harvard's own idea that it is the top university (and I am sure they think that of themselves) also elitism?
 
I don't like what is happening to America on some campuses.

I do get annoyed that feminism has infected my sports watching. No, I don't want to see the NFL gladiators who are trying to kill each other wear pink. No I don't want pink bats in baseball. No I don't want to hear about breast cancer when I watch sports to escape the shitty reality of life. And please fuck off with your "lean in with women" and all your bullshit domestic violence stuff you are ramming down my throat when I am trying to watch the Warriors play.
 
Coming from Harvard, this part is great.

"Although the fraternities, sororities, and final clubs are not formally recognized by the College, they play an unmistakable and growing role in student life, in many cases enacting forms of privilege and exclusion at odds with our deepest values," Faust said in the email, according to The Harvard Crimson.

Isn't the value Harvard charges for based on privilege and exclusion?
