(Natural News) If the scandal involving Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., self-identifying as a Native American to gain preferred hiring status at Harvard University some years ago bothers you, get ready to be perpetually upset about such things.

That’s because America’s increasing Marxist-Left universities (and especially the “Ivy League” schools) are enshrining that kind of misrepresentation into official policy.

Along with the “gender identity” nonsense in which men and women can call themselves members of the opposite sex — and expect others to do the same, even though it’s obviously not true — comes racial self-identity, compliments of Brown University.

As noted by The College Fix, a change to Brown’s graduate school application will permit applicants to “self-identify” as someone of color. What’s really confounding is that the website attempted to get Brown University officials to provide details on the change but never responded to those requests.
