Swarthmore students burn American flag on Columbus Day
Campus Reform ^ | October 17, 2017 | Matthew Stein

Posted on 10/17/2017 8:45:58 AM PDT by C19fan

On Columbus Day, the Swarthmore Indigenous Students Association (SISA) burned the American flag and issued a set of demands, including removal of the flag from campus.

The demands, posted on flyers in the campus dining hall, also called on Swarthmore College to “admit and recruit native students,” asserting that “Swarthmore has consistently had a student body that is less than 1% indigenous,” possibly because it “does not recruit on any reservations or at any of the Native schools.”

Who does the Swarthmore Indigenous Students Association (SISA) believe it was that ate the Anasazi?

Pretty sure it wasn't Columbus.

With the commies going crazy, now might be time to invest in the flag manufacturing industry.

If it wasn’t for Columbus there’d be no Hispanics.

Darn, and the university has invested so much time and money into their “keep out any non whitey at all costs initiative”.

I will bet that they have actually invested quite a bit of money in remedial education and useless identity majors so they can tap into the endless free no strings attatched money trough generated by free grants for the uneducable. Soon they will reap the benefits of all that free money by having gaggles of roaming uncontrollable “students” destroying their infrastructure, and scaring real students and researchers away. Nice long term planning there

East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and
Koreans) obtain the highest mean IQ at 105. Europeans
follow with an IQ of 100. Some ways below these are the
Inuit or Eskimos (IQ 91), South East Asians (IQ 87),
Native American Indians (IQ 87),

Pacific Islanders (IQ 85), and South Asians and
North Africans (IQ 84). Well below these are the
sub-Saharan Africans (IQ 67), the Australian Aborigines
(IQ 62), the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, and the
Pygmies of the Congo rain forests (IQ 54).

My husband is an electrical engineer. He lived & went to school in a state with a large indigenous population. At the state college where he went, in the ee department there was at least 1 spot set aside for an Indian student. He said in all the years he was there it was never filled.

I can’t believe there Indian population didn’t know they could go to college. Probably for or close to free.

Columbus is the only immigrant to America that liberals don’t like.

Tuition at Swarthmore is $50k per year. It is apparently quite expensive to educate snowflakes.

Shouldn't they have burned a Spanish flag?

When they recruit "indigenous" students to attend Swarthmore, will they have them take a DNA test to make sure that they have no European ancestry?

They want to destroy the only country that gives them the right to say they want it destroyed.

The average IQ score of Ashkenazi Jews has been calculated to be from a range of 110–115
