I will give no money, none, as long as Tim Sands is president of my alma mater.
I am not interested in supporting the potential removal of confederate names from building and streets on campus. We need to teach history, not rewrite it.
I am not interested in supporting muslim outreach in southwest Virginia. Why is this a good idea? With limited resources, spend money on this...?
I have no interest in providing financial support for a structure that features entire departments of diversity and inclusion. Classes and majors awarded in african american studies for example, which prepare students for absolutely nothing after college.
I am disgusted by the "bias response team" initiated on campus to get a snowflake to tattle tale on someone who hurt his feelings.
I refuse to support orientation sessions for incoming students spending time on diversity and inclusion at the expense of academic discipline. Especially when the diversity and inclusion sessions pretend there are as many genders and gender specific pronouns as deemed necessary by the students. There are two sexes only. You do not have the option of creating twenty more.
I will not support racial quotas thinly disguised as an effort to get a greater percentage of underrepresented groups at the university.
Standards at my alma mater have fallen and continue to fall. You recently have or soon will confer a Phd in history to a lecturer who told a class of students that Abe Lincoln was a white supremacist and George Pickett hid in a barn during Pickett's charge.
Teach the children. Don't indoctrinate them.
Raise the standards. Don't lower them.
Tim Sands wants us to be Berkley. I want us to be Virginia Tech.
Please do not solicit me again.
