Feminist Scholar Analyzes History Of Pelicans And ‘Racialized, Sexual Violence’

The left is demented, they make up whatever they want whenever they want.
Pelicans are “implicated in a history of racialized, sexual violence,” according to a feminist scholar’s Friday presentation.
Logan O’Laughlin, a gender studies graduate student at the University of Washington, conducted a lecture titled “$#@! Toxic Ecologies: Analyses and Implications of the Pelicans of the BP Oil Spill” at the University of British Columbia.
The workshop description explains that oil-stained pelicans represented the massive impact of the BP spill.
“But what do these pelican images tell us about gender, race, and sexuality in ecological contexts?” O’Laughlin asked in the description. “Utilizing feminist discourse analysis of pelicans in post-spill popular media and historical analysis of pelicans as the state mascot of Louisiana, this presentation articulates how this bird is symbolically and materially implicated in a history of racialized, sexual violence.”
“I explore how this history is diffracted in contemporary discourses and argue for acknowledging the reproductive harms of environmental toxins without reifying norms of white, hetero-reproductive families,” the description read.
O’Laughlin — who asks to be called by they/them pronouns — has taught courses such as “Psychology of Gender” and “Masculinities: Contestation, Circulation, and Transformation” at the University of Washington.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to O’Laughlin for comment, but received none in time for press.

I honestly believe that unless there is a complete purge of all this insanity from our institutions of "higher learning" we, as a free nation, are finished.

Although most colleges have some departments that are bat-$#@! crazy, they also have many that are not. The STEM departments, and some of the social sciences.

US universities overall outperform much of the rest of the world. This article is a ranking of the 500 best global universities.

The U.S. had the largest number of overperforming universities, with nine schools. In second place was China with six schools, and Italycame in third with five schools.​ The Université de Savoiein France was the world's largest overperformer. Its overall rank of 352 surpassed its global research reputation rank of 728 by 376 places.

India, Turkey and the United Kingdom had the largest number of underperforming universities, with three each. The London School of Economics and Political Science in the United Kingdom was the world's largest underperformer, with its overall rank of 328 falling far below its global research reputation rank of 25.



The U.S. Newsmethodology for the Best Global Universities rankings gives the global research reputation score a weight of 12.5 percent in the overall ranking model. Global research reputations are subjective, but they are also important because a diploma from a distinguished university can help graduates get good jobs or gain admission to top-notch graduate programs.

But if you look at universities overall, the US excel to a much higher degree.

Our secondary education system is mediocre compared to other developed nations.

Yes, that sort of nonsense in the OP fits the mental illness bill.

Sadly I'm pretty sure that Pelicans have no laws against sex assualt. Perhaps she should work with female Pelicans to get some enacted? She needs to find the feminist Pelicans and start a movement. LOL
BTW, did she prove that pre-spill Pelicans were gentelmen?

Top universities have a large international student population, partly because it's better than going to local universities but also because they're able to take advantage of how the secondary school system is in the United States. Like, students from China and Japan, European countries, Canada, so on.

Our secondary education system is fine. Immigration policy has consequences. One of them is that our ranking has dropped.

Secondary education in affluent areas of the US rank up there with Europe and the affluent parts of Asia.
