Southern Illinois University’s Morris Library is now hosting “nap-ins” to help students dream of diversity.

Marissa Amposta, a “student coordinator” at the university is holding four two-hour naps in the library this month to “internally generate student dreams of diversity,” the Daily Egyptian reports.

The naps will be part of the Dreaming Diversity Art Installation, which is part of Women’s History Month and apparently real.

After the students sleep, they can write their dreams down and pin them to a fabric scroll, which will later be discussed at a panel of women for Women’s History Month.

I could understand if this was a college in Germany, India, or China where the kids are studying engineering and science, but those two snowflakes can’t be tuckered out majoring in Sociology or Communication.

Communications is still needed in the business world, journalism.

This is merely more of typical lefty/LIB lunacy. What fools.

It's like our National Parks. The libraries, like the parks, are open to everyone. Some folks just aren't interested.

It reminds me of a letter which author Flannery O'Connor wrote to a friend back in the day. It concerned some black agitators complaining about integrating the local library:

11 Oct 63 (to Janet McKane): "The local Negroes have just petitioned the city council to do the usual things … One item on their list was to integrate the library. It turns out the library has been integrated for a year and they didn't know it."

Carbondale is considered part of Appalachia. It’s at the intersection of where Illionois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas converge. It ain’t Chicago. Which makes the story even more depressing.

I napped all through getting my degree. The best spot was the student union, upstairs, where they had couches. Also quiet.

Many Chicagoans have attended SIU. It’s the farthest away from home but still in state.

How many of these students had wet dreams and posted such on the board?

It was openly known as the state party school for years. I understand they have been improving their image in recent years...this certainly won’t help.
