since when did A&M have segregated graduations for African Americans and LQBTQ?

I guess I slept through that

Texas A&M Releases Updated DEI Guidelines to Comply With State Law https://t.co/a02Zr7EOnh via @https://twitter.com/TheTexanNews

Among the most horrible ideas the American left has resuscitated over the past 20 years.

When blacks and gays decided they were better folks and didn't want to be around straights and whites I guess.
Separate but equal.

Don't you know! It is ok if POC or "special people" segregate themselves or call each other (and everyone else) offensive words.

I guess the knife only cuts one way.

Next thing you know, they'll want their own water fountains.

Fire em all. Anyone who pushes / pushed for this is subverting law and a wrecker. Purge em.

While its fun to point out their hypocrisy, will anybody really miss the kind of people who want such ceremonies? Won't everybody be better off without the distraction of people who put their sexual perversions or race in front of every other aspect of life? College graduation has nothing to do with either race or sexual preference, so the people who don't understand that not everything is about that are welcome to GTFO.

Unbelievable.

Oh, they still come to the main ceremony as well.

TAMU is not having separate graduation ceremonies based on race. These are not graduations, but rather some sort of deal before/after the fact. The colleges or departments might be doing these things, and I would have to look into it more, but TAMU proper is not having a separate ceremony for you.

Yes. Black people should be segregated from society "For Thier Protection and Safety and Mental Health"

Because they are too mentally and emotionally weak and underdeveloped to fully participate in regular western society.

Does noone else realize how incredibly racist that is?

Ummm if it supported by the separate colleges it is supported by the university.

I havent looked into it more, but I suspect these things are put on by student "groups" and then they'll have "guests" from the colleges. I would be very surprised if the university proper sponsored these events.

Becoming racists to end racism. It's an idea so spectacularly stupid that only a leftist could conceive it.

Do they still get to wear the I'm Black stole on their graduation robes?

1. Segregated graduations aren't happening, that's an absurd right-wing conspiracy theory.
2. Segregated graduations aren't happening, but if they were, they'd be justified to provide a safe space for POC.
3. Segregated graduations aren't happening, just unofficial private events sponsored by university departments.
4. Ok, so segregated graduations are happening, but it's a good thing, and you are a bigot if you don't celebrate.

Leftist progressives and the Democratic Party leadership have absolutely no self awareness.

Now do White's Only

Pro LGBTQ having their own.

Separate but equal is all the rage with Democrats again.

All student groups receive some form of funding the university

It is a perk of being an official student group- you get a baeline amount of funds from the university. A lump fee all students pay to support all student groups is one of the fees the students pay for when they pay their tuition.

Hence it is being supported by the university and tuition money.

Instead of bringing everyone together to celebrate achievement, let's retreat to our individual islands.

We can't have individual groups building bonds through shared positive experiences.

My what the elites have done, and continue to do, to our country.

Dims are downright evil.

You're missing the other part: the many ethnically based groups and organizations on campus.

Until whites are also allowed to have white only groups, this is pure racism

I'm fine with voluntary freedom of association, though seeking to do that to the exclusion of others even voluntarily is kind of getting close to the racism line, but the state and its entities can't endorse or participate, especially to the exclusion of anyone, or it really does become race based policy which is unlawful.

Can whites lawfully not have a student group? Legitimate question.

Also, I do not disagree its stupid. I'm just saying the university is not having separate but equal things going on. In fact, TAMU would get itself in a pickle if they started dictating which groups can and cannot be a "group".

If I went to a Black university or theoretically a gay one to pursue a degree I cannot find at a university that fits my values, I'd go to class, go elsewhere for entertainment and get degree and get out of town. I wouldn't expect them to change what they do because of me.

Another reason to stop sending your offspring and your money to universities, including a&m. Get them some education in the community colleges, some marketable skills in something they discover they have a knack for, then they'll make better life decisions.

As I understand, there was an initially an option for a Spanish speaking graduation to accommodate the family who did not speak English as their first language. I understand this one.

I don't understand the purpose of having a black graduation or a alphabet gay graduation. Perhaps, if those people choose not to be part of the Aggie fabric, they should not have come here in the first place.

When I was in law school 40+ years ago, we had a Black Law Students Association, Womens' Law Student Association, a Mexican American Law Student Association and I think a Womens Association for Mexican Americans. Gay/Lesbian was not a thing back then.

Several of my guy friends and I had lunch together every Friday during our third year. We discussed the inequality of this so we started calling ourselves CLAM. This stood for the Caucasian Law Association for Men.
And we actually caught some grief for that.
