The National Science Foundation is granting almost $300,000 in taxpayer funds for a “diversity research” study to make engineering classes more “LGBTQ-affirming”.
Why? In case they have to design a gazebo for a gay wedding?

Great, just great; like thermodynamics, kinetics, and differential calculus aren’t difficult enough they gotta complicate it with this garbage.
“Here’s the plan: we take engineering, add ‘social’ to the front of it, and then slowly remove the engineering part.”
$300,000 for a useless study that will be obsolete before it even “comes out”.
Engineering students know there’s no point in being more “LGBTQ-affirming”. Have you seen engineering students? They know they ain’t gettin’ any no matter how many genders they try cozying up to.
Tried writing a response here 4 times. Every one made me sound like I’d suddenly developed Tourette’s. I give.
Don’t be ridiculous. They’ll find an orthodox Christian carpenter and either humiliate him by forcing him to make the gazebo or financially wreck his life when he would rather not participate.
What are they going to do, out the “Gay” numbers? I’ve always been suspicious about 3 myself.
@7: “Queer as a three Doppler build”
Is there any possible way to convince Congress that these national science boards have too much money to dole out?
(I notice the second study is heterosexual-oriented. Give me $222,000 to study why that is.)
And the thing of it is that $300,000 is 15 to 30 graduate research assistantships.
What? You liberal arts majors *pay* for graduate school? (Oh, wait, I am one, nowadays, if I can get back to school.)
First off, they carefully remove all reference to ‘male’ and ‘female’ sockets and connecter pins, after all, that’s not transgender friendly. Also, male pins connect to female sockets, so that’s obviously homophobic.
