Oh liberal thine name is fickle

What about tollerance? What about D I V E R S I T Y?

Va. Tech Separation of Sexes Irks Faculty

RICHMOND, Va. - The creation of gender-segregated classes at Virginia Tech for visiting faculty from Saudi Arabia is drawing complaints from professors, who say a state-supported school shouldn't promote discrimination.

So when exactly do liberals embrace DIVERSITY, respecting cultural differences, learning from different peoples and the whole "tollerance and diversity" spew, and when do they get the vapors over it? who decides? Do they have a meeting? Does the liberal teletype go off?

I guess when you don't bite the hand that feeds you?

King Abdulaziz University paid Virginia Tech $246,000 to design and operate the faculty development program this summer.

The courses include topics such as Web site development and online instruction, but in keeping with the preferences of the Saudi university, the university created separate classes for the approximately 30 male

but what irks me the most is this:

"The presence of these segregated classes on campus indicates to me that the university doesn't place a strong enough value on women's rights," Coupey said Wednesday. "This makes me feel that the university holds me in less regard than my male counterparts."

Why do they feel they are held in a lesser regard than the men? Maybe it is the other way around?

Sounds like people #####ing to hear themselves #####

If it were visiting faculty from some third-world #### hole, they would be embracing it as oh-so tolerant and diverse. Since it's those horrible Saudis who are in bed with Bushco, they protest.

So there's your answer.

I'm fine with it, as long as the best educated, most experienced professors are teaching the women and the men get the leftover, can't teach their way out of a box types. :shrug: seems fair to me.

OK, you women can have the 90 year old, falls asleep at the podium, but has LOTS of experience teachers, and we men will take the 40 y.o. teachers that may not have the experience, but can relate to us.

If you're not 13, the teacher won't be interested in you.

Ok, so they can't teach their way out of a box, but they can point out all the pretty girls. "Dude, look at the way that burka hangs, you know that chick is hot. Is that an ankle I see?"
