Queen's University to change it's name out of sensitivity to gays
Why do parents continue to pay thousands of dollars in University tuition fees?
Students at Queen's University who sprinkle their dialogue with an assortment of "homo" or "retarded" could find out the hard way that not everyone finds their remarks acceptable.
The Kingston university has hired student facilitators to step in when they overhear homophobic slurs, remarks bashing women or racially tinged insults, along with an array of other language that could be deemed offensive.
[..]
Under the new program, six student facilitators live and work within campus residences. Their mission is threefold: to engage students "spontaneously" by talking to them about an issue that has arisen, for instance, on campus or in the media; to hold movie nights, book readings or discussions on a range of social issues; and to step in when conflicts arise.
Is there any more doubt that Universities have become nothing more than institutions for inculcation? (To teach (others) by frequent instruction or repetition; indoctrinate)
My son is considering a law career but the list of schools where I would dare spend a veritable fortune on his education gets slimmer and slimmer, every day.
