You can pay, or you can be arrested for trespassing and/or theft." "Then, you are certainly free to seek employment at $25 per hour on the open market. Good luck, kids." |

User ID: 65794755 United States 11/23/2015 12:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no longer any question that this BLM movement is Communist at its core. Quoting: Evil_Twin [link to eagnews.org] “Our aspirations are untainted: free tuition via a University open to all, abolition of the police and prisons, free and collectivized housing and food, and more,” according to the document. It also closed with the warning: “Gone are the days where we ask for what is past due to us: we are here to take what is ours. “Tear it down, or we shut you down,” the document read. The list of demands, edited for brevity, include (our favorites in bold): A mandatory class for everyone, including staff and administrators, about the “historical racial violence of this University and town …” The immediate firing of UNC President Margaret Spellings because she allegedly referenced “LGBTQIA+” lifestyles as “those lifestyles.” Abolishment of all standardized testing and its use in college admissions. Complete dismantling of “athletics industrial complex” and “exploitation of Black men,” effectively ending the men’s basketball and football programs That “University cafeterias, gym memberships, libraries, and class registration be free to all residents of North Carolina regardless of admittance into the institution.” Housing and bathrooms that are not segregated by gender. Collectively-owned housing projects. Allowing bums to sleep in the school’s public places. The abolishment of police, both on campus and off, and the implementation of “transformative justice practices.” The elimination of all tuition and fees, as well as full financial aid for illegal immigrants. A $25 an hour minimum wage for all Chapel Hill workers, and full benefits for full, part-time, and contracted employees, and similar wages for UNC administrators. A $25 per hour salary, with benefits, for student athletes. Free parking and “Go Passes” for everyone. “Language justice for all workers,” which means “verbal instructions and communication should be made available in addition to written materials for all workers,” according to the document. A mandate to hire convicted felons whenever possible. “Equitable funding” for African American, female, and gender studies programs. Publishing graduation and dropout rates, as well as admissions data – “disaggregated” by gender, race and class – on UNC’s website. Investigating why black or other minority students leave UNC. Unlimited free mental health counseling sessions Divestment of the UNC Management Company from “private jails, prisons and detention centers; Israeli Apartheid; Coal.” Cancellation of UNC’s contract with Aramark, the food service provider, because the company is allegedly “deeply invested in the expansion of the prison industrial complex” that’s “criminalizing and caging working class Black people.” A ban on privatizing student stores. The cancellation of UNC’s contract with Nike and VF Corporation over “deeply exploitative and abusive track records toward workers.” A mandate to hire black counselors. The removal of surveillance cameras on the campus’ “white supremacist monuments.” Removal of the campus’ “Silent Sam” monument and all other “confederate monuments.” Restricted space on campus for black students to meet. A plaque denigrating William Saunders, a UNC alum and KKK member honored for his work on the university’s board of trustees. “Aggressive recruitment of black faculty and faculty of color.” And no demand for a new campus 'Ape House'? |
