It's always funny to see people complaining about other people being offended by words, when they themselves are offended by someone using or not using certain words.

That's already one that's been talked about in the UK.

Uh... the vast majority of higher education facilities have similar policies. Very few people are ever in a position to take advantage of them because the person working there usually doesn't have college-age kids who want to go to that specific school. It's one of those pretty perks on paper that costs the schools almost nothing.

Fuck we needed this 20 years ago. Also a good screening for ADHD, fuck recruiters send some poor dudes who can’t focus more than 30 seconds to boot camp.

Texas has Hazelwood, you enter as a Texas resident, you get 120 hours of college at public schools covered, in addition to GI Bill

In a nigh infinitesimal number of cases would BAH/BAS be approved for an E-1, but you can calculate like a third of that rate, as they do get fed and housed, just sometimes in 24 man bays or 4-6 man rooms.

honestly... I don't feel like physical scores are that important. There are plenty of jobs in the military that really never need any physicality to it... but academic scores... that's like the police academy I was teaching at allowing cadets to fail one out of three law classes because they were just struggling to pass all three classes.

during my job interview with USC, an admin said she felt it was wrong that I described myself as a Southeast Asian because I am "Chinese." She felt many Asian American "abuse" the label of SEA to get more diversity points and she wondered how I would address that if confronted by a student from SEA.
I'm not American. I'm from Malaysia.

It'd be like filling your Cuisinart with cyanide then being expected to turn around and make cookies.

I'm just curious what benefits i could get for failing out of fat camp. Looks like everything except GI bill.

This is yet another reason for the skyrocketing costs of higher ed, which has the effect of keeping it out of reach for more and more people of color.

I am a "descendent of slavery," although I'd be ridiculed if I tried to describe myself as one. Also, every person in my father's family history, at least as far as I've been able to trace, has been impoverished. I have an uncle who's done okay, and my mother's side of the family was middle class (certainly not wealthy).
But, I am Caucasian, so all I get is blame for things I had nothing to do with. Our society needs to figure out how to move past things that people who have been dead for hundreds of years did to each other.
