So I was gonna make fun of her without reading the article. But I stopped myself and read it.
Student wants to have a republican club, at a Historically black university. In order to be recognised officially by the uni you need a staff member with 3 years at the uni to sign of/endorse your club. She has emailed at least 2 faculty and both have declined. She does not say how many she has reached out to or in what way. Everyone should feel so sad for this poor woman who just wants to be heard!
No I kidd. She's a whiner and an idiot looking for attention. She says she has met with 3 other students a few times unofficially, yet the minimum to be recognised officially as a group is 10. So even if she could get a sign off by a faculty, she doesn't have enough people interested in her garbage to qualify anyways (my soul brightens just slightly at this thought)
And why is she emailing random faculty? How many classes is she taking? Did she ask each of those professors, in person? Seems like she is trying to raise a stink without putting in any of the work. Wahhhhh! you won't recognise my shitty club! Help help I'm being oppressed!
The only smart thing in that whole article was the thought that in order to change the GOP you need people in it who aren't shitba.... Excuse me, who represent all walks of life and colours of skin. But frankly, that's a looooooong game to be playing...
