Penn State Acts to Remove Snowmen/s
The Artful Dilettante ^ | November 13, 2015 | Robert J. Seyko

Posted on 11/13/2015 8:18:35 AM PST by huckfillary

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.

If I had a kid in one of these stupid schools all hell would break loose.

The staff forgets why they’re there, to teach. Not to play 60’s hippies with parent’s money backing them.

I guess I live a sheltered existence. I have not had any personal interaction with these idiots. That is probably a good thing for them health wise and me jail wise.

“After all, every snowman is white.”

Obviously this person has never made a snowman in late March before.

Racist.

What was it that George Orwell said about controlling the language leading to controlling minds?

This is silly on the face of it, but much more insidious. These people are fascists bent on achieving a measure of control over us.
