    More than once in the last week or two I've seen you've admirably maintained the free speech policy here while criticizing a post for crossing a line and, in doing so, weakening the argument. I'm paraphrasing, but, "Calling the university president a dyke or the AD a fat bitch isn't the tone you want if you want your argument taken seriously."

    This article seems like something you'd like to be taken seriously, so I'd follow your own advice and ditch the Trump/Warren stuff, even in reference to what others might think. It's possible to prioritize academics way above football (the horror!) without it being a political thing. It's also possible to be a leftist woman who's in charge of a football machine, and we'll have the proof if the new Ohio State president doesn't drive that program off a cliff.

    Yes it's possible, but it's more likely than not that a leftist woman is not going to be a football fan. But I appreciate your sincere feedback.
    What makes her a leftist? I haven't looked into her political background.
    She has stated that her worldview was largely shaped by her late brother, who was a communist activist. He was reportedly killed by white supremacists 30-40 years ago. She has written that when the Charlottesville thing happened about four years ago, it shocked her and made her recommit even further to diversity and equity in our society.
    I'm not sure that supporting diversity and equity makes you a leftist...
    It's clear you're going to argue no matter what.

    I support equality among human beings, not equity of outcome. Two totally different things. Let's live in the real world.

    I don't intend to get into a back and forth, but just to be clear, that isn't my intention.

    Nothing wrong with diversity either - unless it is mandated by the government and institutions of lower education.

    America is diverse and more so everyday

    Demographics never fail

    Whites won't be a majority much long


    Worst white supremacists ever

    If they actually believed in equity and diversity, you might have a point. But leftards lie and love to be lied to and the last thing a leftist wants is equity and diversity. You think they actually care about black lives? They have a slogan for that too.

    Sure if you are a state university and they are segregated in individual safe places and racially segregated dorms.
