Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) questions Columbia University President Minouche Shafik about a document that she says students distributed on campus: Banks: “Can you explain why the word ‘folks’ is spelled 'f-o-l-x' throughout this guidebook?” Shafik: “They don’t know to spell?”
The document also included the term “Ashkenormativity,” which was defined as a “system of oppression that favors white Jewish folx, based on the assumption that all Jewish folx are Ashkenazi, or from Western Europe.” readthereporter.com/rep-jim-banks-…
