loool. this really made my day.
currently in Italy there is a lot of talking regarding an international committee who would like to force Italy to band from school Dante's Divine comedy since it feature explicit homophobic, antisemitic and anti-islamic rants.

They should ban the bible then, the Talmud, the Koran, Shakespeare, the list is endless..

Wow, that really is retarded. But I guess a ban is much easier (cheaper!) than actually trying to teach kids to be able to read critically? Perhaps young generations with a critical mindset isn't what they want, easier just to shy away from the problems & go watch some innocuous idiocy on the tv I guess.

this is one point... but you know they are talking about the book that is considereng one of the founding texts of Italian modern language... even an idiot can understand that what people were thinking back in those days are not the thought of today and must be placed in context.
yesterday even the main left wing news programs laughed about it

Is that a decision or just a suggestion? Sounds extreme, but not far from the contemporary reality I guess. This time they needed three dead soldiers & a mini-mass murder to enforce complete military control over the whole region (or how the French municipalities are governed) - how much will it take in a few years before they ring the terrorist alarm & seize complete control over the whole infrastructure? So far, no connections to Al-Qaeda whatsoever, except perhaps ideological. But of course, the common citizen needn't be alarmed, they do it for our safety...

I guess it's just a suggestion with a conspicuous headline. Either way, a ridiculous idea...

"The participants were then called in and told they had the opportunity to give feedback about how their tuition money should be distributed to four student groups - called the Centres of African American Studies, Latino American Studies, Arab American Studies, and Rural and Agricultural Studies."


This makes no sense because Rural and Agricultural Studies could potentially produce decent jobs in the farming industry. The other 3 are fairly meaningless even if you belong to those particular ethnic groups.
And, since when is farming only for white people? That question is bias as fuck and if ONLY 35% of those kids said distribution to to R&A was the proper choice, the question becomes "are American schools teaching kids to simply waste their money on stupid shit only to please minorities?".........oh, wait; yes, they are.
It should have been 100% for R&A Studies, regardless of race.

"Rural and Agricultural Studies"

They meant redneck and  hillibilly studies probably.

The idea that academic study is necessarily vocational is a relatively recent one, certainly not something I like. Fuck the work ethic!

Last time I was at a noise show at one of my favourite UK venues (a nice co-op kinda place) I noted with amusement that they had a notice up about how they need to formulate a safer space policy. Here is a link to one of my favourite passive-aggressive 'safer space policies' - http://sissycollective.org/safer-spaces/

This is no space for violence, for touching people without their consent, for being intolerant of someone's religious beliefs or lack thereof, for being creepy, sleazy, racist, ageist, sexist, hetero-sexist, trans-phobic, able-bodiest, classist, sizeist, or for using any other behavior or language that may perpetuate oppression.

If you experience or witness any behavior that crosses your boundaries or makes you feel uncomfortable, or if you are feeling like you would like to talk to someone anonymously about anything, please ask our safer spaces representative.

Priceless stuff. The New Direction Fest one (can't find it now) which they mostly got this from had extra straightedge anti-booze and drugs rhetoric which made it even funnier and more infuriating.

Gunther Grass seems to have causes some stir with a poem on Israel

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/apr/05/gunter-grass-israel-poem-iran

How sleazy of a supposedly respectable newspaper like The Guardian to print a heavily edited and misleading translation of what was already an outburst of senility in an attempt to make it seem even more ridiculous. The original is at http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/gedicht-zum-konflikt-zwischen-israel-und-iran-was-gesagt-werden-muss-1.1325809 - shame on Luke Harding and Harriet Sherwood.
