You guys are idiots
ASUC mirth!!!
The ASUC Senate passed a bill Wednesday night to post a sign outside the senate chambers warning guests to avoid “malicious” behavior, a move some senators fear may deter guests from attending the open meetings.
Yeah, to ask that people not be assholes is absurd.
“I feel it is important that we let our guests know that we have a zero-tolerance policy for malicious hate speech and physical intimidation,” said Student Action Senator Evan Bloom, who wrote the bill.
I think it's important to note the phrase "malicious hate speech" here. Since nowadays, everything seems to be called hate speech ("Shut up, you underrepresented bitch), a new term has to be formed, "malicious hate speech," to contrast with non-malicious hate speech, also known as normal speech that some sensitive person is offended by.
“We want to foster an environment that is welcoming to all the students we represent, not to deter them from even entering senate chambers,” [CalSERVE Senator Dena Takruri] said.
It must be pretty embarrassing to have a constituency which feels unwelcome anywhere it is asked to not engage in "malicious verbal attacks or physical intimidation."
“We haven’t had any diversity training, and there have been issues in the past that show that it’s needed,” said CalSERVE Senator Dorie Perez.
Excellent! Here's Beetle's ten second diversity training course:
See that guy over there? See the person next to him? Notice that those are two different people? We call that diversity. Class dismissed.
