In a display of solidarity with campus activists, the Penn State Board of Trustees voted unanimously to ban the making of snowmen on campus. "The snowman is the ultimate expression of white privilege," said a Black Lives Matter activist who refused to be identified. "It is a symbol of our hateful past and must be removed from our national consciousness. After all, every snowman is white. Can any rational person dispute this?" The vote culminated a months-long campaign of petition drives and public rallies. The goal was to get the ban in place before the first snowfall. With the vote, Penn State becomes the first major university to implement a campus-wide ban on snowmen. Opponents pushed a compromise measure allowing snowmen in designated "free expression" zones in unlit areas on the outskirts of campus. The compromise proposal was roundly defeated and its proponents were physically removed from the meeting room. Until federal funds are earmarked for enforcement, the university will rely on a secret network of volunteers to clandestinely police the areas where the offensive structures have been built in the past. Several professors have already offered extra credit to student volunteers. Penn State President Eric Barron was giddy after the vote, stating the move was the first of several measures designed to removed all vestiges of racism from the university. "The snowman is history at Penn State," he concluded.
It's a White privilege joke.
Of course, after a few days, the snow is no longer white, so it really doesn't matter.
“snowman is the ultimate expression of white privilege”?
Kiss my ass ya stupid.
get a life.
It should be “snowpersons”. How gender insensitive can you be?
Exceedingly!
Yes, our country has now definitely and officially jumped the shark.
Only thing I see to do is build a snow man and cover it in coal dust and top it off with Brillo pads for hair.
Gaze on that’un Sambo.
John Semmens?
Onion?
my first thought- but then again look what’s happening around us...
Simple: Make the snowman with YELLOW SNOW...
After all, every snowman is white
What if I pee on one? Will that be ok?
20+ years ago at my small Pennsylvania college, the Amnesty International chapter put little cards with yellow ribbons all over campus with the stories of various prisoners of conscience from around the world. The cards would read something like, ‘Juan Doe was arrested in Chile in 1985 for organizing demonstrations against the government. He was convicted based on falsified testimony and remains imprisoned to this day. Appeals from the UN have gone unheeded.’
About a month after the cards appeared on lamp posts and street signs around campus we received the season’s first snow fall, and the Amnesty chapter built a snowman in front of their special interest house. It became the casualty of a late night pub crawl, and the next day,cards went up around campus reading, ‘Frosty the snowman was butally assassinated in the street by unknown assailants. But nobody gave a sh!t because he was white.’
They need to cut out the middleman and just sue the Creator of this dastardly frozen, white, racist scourge.
The /s at the end of the headline indicates SATIRE.
Just wait until the media learns that I have placed a sombrero on our scarecrow.
It should be âsnowpersonsâ. How gender insensitive can you be?

Unless it has snowballs.
I’m convinced this is satire. I Googled ‘Penn State, snowmen’ and this is the only story with that subject. But sadly, it is all too easy to believe it’s true, with all the asinine protests happening in our once great country.
I hope this is satire
I’m not buying this.
I can’t find any supporting articles to confirm this. Anyone?
Best put a fence up on that State border this winter.....thousands of Snowmen seeking political asylum heading north.
Not all of them will be benign......
This is semi-satire, right?
