Day 27...

I'm hitting the wall.

I'm getting very tired.  Tired of reading, writing, listening, thinking, but most of all, being around 18 year old college students.

Now, don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy many of the "kids" in my classes.  I have even accepted a couple of them as friends on facebook.  However, there are so many other "kids" that I really do not enjoy being around...at all...ever.

"Kids" that post things like this for Ethnic Studies homework two weeks before the semester ends.

"In this chapter it talks about how males are favored in sports especially basket. And it then goes on to explain what women do when you watch a mans game... they are either with their husband ot kids, working in the consession stands, or helping others. They also said " where are the women? those closet to the action on the court are probably cheerleaders, tumbling, dancing, and being thrown in the air in support of the exploits of the athletes." I do not agree with these becuase more men are being cheerleaders. So therefore this is kind of being racist where they are saying men shouldnt be doing cheer becuase its a women thing to do. What do you think...Is this being racist againist men being cheerleaders? why or why not?"


Come the Fuck on, Bridget! 

(No, her name is not Bridget...that's a movie quote that I use when I'm tired of saying WTF?.  Watch Bridget Jones Diary, you loser.   FYI - Colin Firth=YUMMY)

Seriously, I find it appalling this girl was accepted into college completely unaware of the difference between racism and sexism, and clearly, she's never heard of proofreading. The fact that she's spent 27 days in an Ethnic Studies class with, in my opinion, a great professor and still doesn't know the difference, speaks to her capabilities as a learner.  Let's not forget, the fact that she is a SHE!  18 year old SHES should be able to recognize sexism when they see it and be able to verbalize or document the injustice that they're witnessing.

Can I get an AMEN?!
