Feds Fund Search for Microaggressions
27th April 2016
After an email exchange with the principal investigator, University of Michigan psychology professor Denise Sekaquaptewa, I found out that the press reports had some inaccuracies: for one, the study does not focus solely on men’s microaggressions toward women but also tracks offenses by women, toward other women and sometimes toward men. Yet, in a more basic sense, the critics were on point. Whatever valuable data this study may yield, it is primarily an exercise in trivial pursuit coupled with speech policing—directed at a problem that may not exist.
Hey, tenure doesn’t grow on trees, you know.

“directed at a problem that may not exist” Hmmm…sounds much like “voter fraud”…

A Democrat would certainly know all about voter fraud.
