"Demands include introducing mandatory equity training and creating a multicultural Center for marginalized groups on campus, which would feature common areas, study rooms, and a Popeyes restaurant.

No Joke!

I missed when historical references to words became illegal.

This banning of the N word is modern nonsense seems to have started around the time of the OJ trial.

I’d like to know what terror people think will result from the uttering of that word.

Fine. Staff it with their own kind. That would serve them right. Let SJW meet the incompetent workers and eat the crow they are served.

Fool, never apologize. It is throwing chum to sharks. “Grow up!” would have been the better response.

I think conservatives on campus (assuming there are some) need to demand a Chik-fil-A, as well as their own personal safe space.

Every one of those students who protested who listen to rap need to be expelled from the school immediately.

A hunger strike? Goody. I remember in Malcolm In The Middle when Francis had a hunger strike at the military academy. That sure went well. He gave Francis his magic hat.
