Many colleges are back in session, and you know what that means – absurdness abounds.

And if the first week of school is any indication, 2014-15 promises to be another year in which political correctness, indoctrination and academic bias rules the day at most campuses.

Just consider that in the last week, The College Fix has reported that:

  • The first official hate-crime hoax of the semester has already occurred. A female student at the Virginia-based Sweet Briar College hung “White Only” and “Colored” signs on water fountains on her dorm. When she fessed up, she said she was trying to “make a point.” The college’s president was sympathetic, calling the stunt “well-intentioned” and “theoretically positive.”
  • A wacky freshman orientation at Vassar College suggested that “jokes” and “traditional gender roles” can lead to rape and murder, and that to ask a pregnant woman if she is having a boy or a girl is “violent.”
  • A “disorientation guide” put out by student radical activists at Columbia University describes capitalism as being “responsible for countless wars, endless poverty, and mass exploitation and oppression for the sake of profit” and a system that establishes and encourages “racist, sexist, classist and homophobic conditions.” (page 13 of the manifesto)

And it’s only Week One.
