    Michigan university hosting separate graduation celebrations based on race, sexuality

    The left dividing people into various categories again. This is not doing the students any favors.

    Michigan university hosting separate graduation celebrations based on race, sexuality

    A Michigan college is coming under fire for hosting five graduation celebrations separated by race, sexuality and gender identity, in addition to the university's larger commencement ceremony.


    Grand Valley State University's Multicultural Affairs Office lists graduation ceremonies or celebrations for Black students, Asian students, "Latinx" students, Native American students, and "LGBTQIA+" students next month. The university will also have a general commencement ceremony for all students.


    The college describes the graduation celebration for "Latino/a/x students" as "an opportunity to come together and acknowledge Laker accomplishments in the spirit and traditions of culture."


    Similarly, the Black Graduation Celebration encourages students to celebrate all "that is representative of Black/African American and African tradition, heritage, culture, and legacy." The ceremony appears to go back to at least 2016.

    You can almost see this in the future, You know these White people are so bad to you we have a great Idea, we have this fenced in area, and you can go to this school and we have this market where you can get all of your food, and a factory to work at. You will not get paid accept for bonuses a few times a year so you can go out on the town. but you will have everything you could ask for?

    They will just rebrand it.

    To be fair, they are also holding a "general" commencement for all students. But, that should suffice.

    Are they going to have valedictorians and salutatorians in each of the smaller graduation groups?
