President of Walden College: Should I say good morning to them? Or is that being insensitive? Graduating seniors, parents and friends...Let me begin by reassuring you that my remarks today will stand up to the most stringent requirements of the new appropriatness. The ultra-college sensitivity advisory committee has vetted the text of even trace amounts of subconcious racism, sexism, and classism. Moreover, a faculty panel of deconstructionists have reconfigured the rhetorical componets within a post-structuralist framework, so as to expunge any offensive elements of western rationalism and linear logic. Finally, all references flowing from a white, male eurocencric perspective have been eliminated as have any other ruminations deemed desparaging to the political consensus of the moment. Thank you and good luck.
