A new slogan at the University of Wyoming – “The world needs more cowboys” – is drawing criticism as racist, sexist and counterproductive to recruiting out-of-state students.


The objections are two-fold. Porter said the slogan both fails to be inclusive and fails to accurately represent UW to those outside Wyoming.

“For me, the clearest reason it’s unacceptable is the word ‘boy,’ excluding anyone who identifies as female,” she said.

U of W needs to send this thing packing...

I was born and raised on the east coast of the US. In my undergraduate studies I focused on race and gender studies in addition to my biology major. Then I joined the US Peace Corps in Fiji.


I also worked as an activist and researcher with the "Whole Community Project" (WCP) in Tompkins County, New York. WCP began as a childhood obesity prevention project and became a food justice initiative.

And the kicker..


I am working to understand and (following Kurt Lewin's theory that the best way to understand something is to try to change it)

So she wants to "change" things she doesn't understand. That sums up SJW's in one sentence.
