Education update

Harvard has done students a great service by preparing them for holiday conversations with cattle back home.  Using a handy place mat in the dining halls, no less.

Now the college students will be ready to set the rubes back home straight on important social justice and international topics.

Harvard explains:

Associate Director of Communications Rachel Dane confirmed the placemats were created by the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in collaboration with the Freshmen Dean’s Office.

“The project came about as we thought together about how we can acknowledge the issues happening nationally and internationally and was intended to provide a framework to help first-year students with potentially difficult conversations during their first visits back home,” Dane told Campus Reform.

This is so absurd I had to check to make sure it wasn’t a spoof.

Nope.

Thanks, Charles.

This is absolutely terrible. A universities roll is to be a place of ideas, this is pure programming! There’s no longer a line between how to think, and what to think. This is worse than that, it’s not even what to think, it’s what to say. WTF.
