The University of Rhode Island recently announced plans to remove two murals depicting the events of World War II due to their lack of diversity. The decision was prompted after students complained that the mural was not compatible with the university’s values of inclusivity. According to the school’s Vice President of Student Affairs, “Some of our students have even shared with us they didn’t feel comfortable sitting in that space.”

I suspected this would happen 15 years ago, once enough of the WW2 veterans died off and couldn't challenge such an action.
This whole "cancel culture" thing now is just a cover for things the Left has been trying to do for years. It is an outrage to say the least.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

“Some of our students have even shared with us they didn’t feel comfortable sitting in that space.”

Well buckle up, buttercups. The next 50+ years is going to be quite the ride for you.

As I recall, there were quite a number of Asians in that war - maybe that would help.

[BenLurkin]

Defund academia.

Any issues with the NFL or NBA?

Leftist filth. *Spit*

Morons being taught by morons. Teaching grown adults to be infantile.

They didn’t know that mural was there before they enrolled?

Stop talking about the Pilgrims landing. Lack of diversity.

So the guys depicted in the mural - and millions of their compatriots - could get shot at, many wounded and some even killed, all in the name of preserving this nation for future generations...and look at what a bunch of ungrateful pussies those future generations are now proving to be. They are utterly unworthy of the sacrifices made on their behalf.

I missed world war 2, so it will be nice to see it first hand when history repeats itself

[I want the USA back]

So, it was never about slaveholding. It was always about hatred for and elimination of Whiteness.

[shelterguy]

I am thoroughly disgusted that they didn’t draft more crossdressers, fags and trannies for that war.

Did I get that right?

[House Atreides]

They need to digitally modify D-Day invasion films to insert a large number of blacks among the American GIs storming the Normandy beaches. /sarc

This is not a criticism of blacks... the US military stupidly didn’t allow many to serve in the combat arms back then. Many would have served and served well if they had been given the chance.

[Professional]

Yup, could have put all of them in the first wave of Omaha Beach, Tarawa, Iwo Jima....

[ought-six]

Cancel culture is part and parcel of the Maoist shaming tactics and “Struggle Sessions.” Antifa and BLM and the leftist tools who follow them and carry their water have brought this madness to America.

[golux]

College-aged Americans once formed beaches, marched through snowstorms and mud for months, endured heavy enemy fire and saved the world from Axis superpowers.

Now they weep and squeal when they see a mural that offends them.

[Scrambler Bob]

For real Diversity, the need murals for

WWI
WWII
WWIII
WWIV
WWV

more?

Put up a CNN monitor, like in the airport, for WWIII.

SNOWFLAKE ALERT !!!
