A series of pro-life banners of images of 11-week-old fetuses in the womb saw mere hours of daylight at the University of Southern California on Tuesday prior to being removed by the same university organization that had initially approved them. The light poles instead featured hand-written signs posted on them reading, “Women deserve the right to choose.”
“It is unbelievable that USC removed all the posters that were put up around the school,” USC College Republicans member Jacob Ellenhorn told The College Fix. He noted that the banners went through the proper channels to obtain approval.

Monique Allard, USC’s assistant provost for student engagement, responded to The College Fix about the incident in an email:
Trojan Events and Services, a unit of Student Affairs, approved the request in error. Banners may only be mounted along Trousdale if they identify an academic program, department, or event as specified by university policy. The banners did not identify an academic event but instead advertised the services of an external organization.
Yet the school’s reasoning did not explain why rainbow banners for Gay Pride were reportedly hung up last semester without advertising an event or organization and that Black History Month saw banners for that very cause, Ellenhorn said.

The Totalitarian Mindset does not worry about hypocrisy in its behavior.
I’m reading a book called “Child 44”, set in the USSR in the last days of Stalin and shortly thereafter. That period is merely a distillation of your observation. The USSR was a utopia, so the party line went, and therefore there could be no crime. Murders, when they happened, were defined as not having happened. U.S. college campuses, supposedly established to teach and enlighten, expend their efforts in destroying students’ minds.
USC, where rich spoil children of liberals go and get brainwashed.

Grounds for a lawsuit.
Oh, BANNERS, not banners. I first read it to mean that those who would ban pro-life activities on campus were being removed...how dumb was that?
