Let’s all go visit the campus of North Carolina U. to ask everyone we meet:

“Are you gonna wear those shoes I love when you play a round of golf with your boyfriend/girlfriend on your Christmas vacation?”

Via Daily Caller.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill issued a guide this week which instructs students that Christmas vacations and telling a woman “I love your shoes!” are “microagressions.”

The taxpayer-funded guide — entitled “Career corner: Understanding microaggressions” — also identifies golf outings and the words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” as microagressions.

The UNC Chapel Hill guide, published on Thursday, covers a wide range of menacing microaggressions — which are everyday words that radical leftists have decided to be angry or frustrated about.

Christmas vacations are a microagression, the public university pontificates, because “academic calendars and encouraged vacations” which “are organized around major religious observances” centralize “the Christian faith” and diminish “non-Christian spiritual rituals and observances.”

….The microagression of liking shoes occurs when someone says “I love your shoes!” “to a woman in leadership during a Q & A after a speech.” So it’s a very specific microagression. The problem, the University of North Carolina document declares, is that the shoe admirer values appearances “more than” “intellectual contributions.”

….Golf outings are also a microagression, the University of North Carolina says, because suggesting a “staff retreat at the country club” or even just “a round of golf” “assumes employees have the financial resources” to participate in the “fairly expensive and inaccessible sport.”

….The words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” — as well as “husband” and “wife” — are microaggressions, the University of North Carolina admonishes, because these words set “the expectation that people do not identify as LGBTQ until they say otherwise or disclose their sexual orientation.” The correct terms are now “partner” and “spouse,” UNC Chapel Hill demands….

    Imagine what fun it would be to see these little twits actually have to go to work & do a real job !!
    This is a reflection of society trying to offer a better life for its children back firing with idiotiocy like this ! Can you imagine if these twits were drafted to the military to go to war ! They would never survive . Unlike the young men of the WW 2 generation who grew up in the depression . Which gave them the self-sufficiency & strength . To go to war , fight , win & return to provide their children a better life . Now that’s all been squanderd & you end up with this crap ! There is hope though . There are a still great number of young people who are focused on the values needed to save this country ! I hope they raise lots of kids in their own right & shield them from goung down the liberal progressive path !
