Campus Reform reports that St. Olaf College in Minnesota plans to host three virtual graduation ceremonies for different groups of minority students, while others must wait until next year to celebrate their completion of college.
The three virtual graduation ceremonies for students in minority groups were announced by and will be hosted through the Taylor Center for Equity and Inclusion. This project of the school exists to help “students of color,” “LBGTQIA+” and international students “celebrate” their “awesomeness factor,” per the center’s website.
The center announced its intent to host the online graduation ceremonies via email, Friday.
“This event acknowledges the value and uniqueness of students’ experience and serves to commemorate and highlight the accomplishments of individuals within their familial and cultural context,” reads the email.
The three graduations are called the multicultural, international, and lavender graduations and are intended for American students of color, international students, and “LGBTQIA+” students, respectively.
What does this do except divide us and make some people superior to others? And what’s with the QIA+ added to the LGBT? This is getting insane also. People can be whatever they want but don’t make me a member of the insane society by force.
This is the PC world Democrats want you to live in. It will be one of constant division and hate with certain groups favored over others.

Why would anyone go to a RACIST school?
If I understand this correctly, students will be prohibited from graduating unless they are part of a very small, very vocal minority. Do I have it down? If that’s the case, isn’t this reverse discrimination?
Olaf? Is that like Oberlin? I want to put on my spongebob onesie and have hot cocoa while we discuss sobamacare.The Olaf license plate looks sporty on my earth saving Prius.
Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.

This “St” anything school. Is it a religious-based school? I am amazed at having this differentiation of people. So these 3 groups need special recognition as to their greatness? Does THAt mean they really are NOT great enuff to graduate on their own – and therefore must be given a Special ribbon for finishing, as they ALL did? What does it REALLY say? Those 3 groups need recognition (extra) because what they have already earned is not good enuff…. so…did they NOT do good enuff work to graduate?
PC is pretty stupid – especially IF you have to have it to do well as all the others….
St. Olaf. Isn’t that that weirdo Minnesota town Rose Nyland reminisced about on the Golden Girls? No wonder St. Olaf College does stupid things like this.
Yeah, I know, the city of St. Olaf on the Golden Girls was fictional. But the stupidity of St. Olaf College doing this isn’t.
