Clemson U. Training Says Tardiness Is 'Cultural' and Must Be Tolerated


By Tom Knighton April 11, 2017

Clemson University wants to promote tolerance and diversity and all the other progressive buzzwords that mean the exact opposite of progressives' actual intentions. Nothing surprising there.
But what Clemson is now arguing for in the name of tolerance is just about the nastiest example of the "bigotry of low expectations" I've ever seen:
On another slide, a character named Alejandro schedules a 9:00 a.m. meeting between two groups of foreign professors and students. The first group arrived fifteen minutes early, while the second arrived ten minutes late. According to the answers, it is wrong for Alejandro to “politely ask the second group to apologize,” or explain that “in our country, 9:00 a.m. means 9:00 a.m.”
Rather, the slide says that Alejandro should “recognize cultural differences that may impact the meeting and adjust accordingly,” and understand “that his cultural perspective regarding time is neither more nor less valid than any other.”
