Using Homosexuals, To Explain A Concept, Is Verboten!

Promiscuous talk, or promiscuous political correctness?...

Professor Hoppe is in a bit of a bind, at the moment, for using homosexuals as a group, to assist in explaining a concept (time preference) during a recent lecture.  Here is, basically, what Hoppe said.

"The subject of the lecture was economic planning for the future. Hoppe said he gave several examples to the class of about 30 upper-level undergraduate students on groups who tend to plan for the future and groups who do not.

Very young and very old people, for example, tend not to plan for the future, he said. Couples with children tend to plan more than couples without.

As in all social sciences, he said, he was speaking in generalities.

Another example he gave the class was that homosexuals tend to plan less for the future than heterosexuals.

Reasons for the phenomenon include the fact that homosexuals tend not to have children, he said. They also tend to live riskier lifestyles than heterosexuals, Hoppe said."

The above was taken from this article from the ReviewJournal.com.

Hoppe’s comments hurt some “brat’s” feelings, as Hoppe states, and thus he must suffer under the heal of political correctness as the Univeristy falls all over itself to prove its effing sensitivity to idiots, and homosexuals as a group.

Paul Jacoby, over at Townhall.com, notes Hoppe’s dust up in a piece titled “Against all odds, generally speaking," also.

Thanks to a reader for the heads up.
