The Harvard Crimson Online :: News - Pinkett Smith’s Remarks Debated
Just click on the above link and read the absurd political correctness at Harvard. Make sure you are not eating or drinking anything or it may end up on your screen or keyboard.
Posted by Tim at March 2, 2005 11:06 AMThis is Harvard and they can't even write properly:
"According to the Foundation’s Student Advisory Committee (SAC) Co-Chair Yannis M. Paulus ’05, the two groups have already planned concrete ways to address the concerns that Pinkett Smith’s speech rose."
"...the concerns that Pinkett Smith's speech rose ?"
Does this mean that according to these illuminati, rose is now the past tense of "to raise?"
Do we now say, "Mr. Smith rose those concerns in his speech?" or, "Mr. Smith raised those concerns in his speech," as it should be.
This is MUCH better stated thusly:
"...the concerns raised in Pinkett Smith's speech."
or "...the issues addressed by," &c. You get the picture here.
Perhaps if these students would spend more time learning reading, writing, and mathematics and less time on whether "Pinkett Smith’s remarks concerning appropriate gender roles [are] specific to heterosexual relationships," we wouldn't have this problem.
This is Harvard for you. The founders of this once-great institution would today be ashamed.
