Diversity bosses in Washington state accused a student council of promoting white supremacy for suggesting a mural of hammer-wielding Norse god Thor could represent their school team.
Students at Mountain View High School in Vancouver offered a mural of the god - whose name translates as 'thunder' - to decorate a wall in a newly renovated building as their senior gift.
Its team is nicknamed 'The Thunders' and there is already a Thor statue in the school's main entrance.
But the AI image they came up with horrified the district's equity office which demanded the god be removed or accompanied by women and people of color.
'They had an issue with the image not being racially and gender inclusive, as well as upholding an image of pure colonization, white power, white supremacy and even going as far as to say that it was alluding to racist anti-black imagery in the south,'
'We were just essentially told that we will maybe understand their perspective when we're in our 40s and have more life experiences like they do.'
The students' senior council was not expecting a backlash when they suggested the god of thunder for their new mural.
They used their talents with AI to produce a classic image of the deity wielding his hammer on top of a mountain amid lightning bolts.
'We were really excited to have the mural up, we thought by Spring Break,' Tara said.
But after submitting their design they received an email from Evergreen Public Schools district administrator demanding to know if students had been surveyed about the design.
It reminded them that 'We are a system that strives for inclusive representation and our Title IX and Gender Inclusive Schools commitments obligate us to create a neutral and diverse representation of the 'Thunder'.

Now we need a Netflix special with Thor played by a black dude.
Thor spends a night with this woman and the next morning he says, “I have to tell you who I am... I’m Thor.” She says: “You’re Thor? I can hardly walk.”
Should they cancel school every Thorsday?
If they portrayed Thor using Brittney Griner, would that be acceptable?
Then wouldn’t any and all status, paintings, and images of a “white dude” be deemed racist and would need to be removed.
That's life.
Black Tranny with a pansexual sidekick.
Sometimes, I just know without looking that it’s you posting. 😂
Good one.....
lol
Are you out of your Vulcan mind?
Living in today’s woke America is like living during the French Revolution. An idea that is perfectly acceptable one day might become criminal the next.
The only difference is that the French revolutionaries guillotined their opponents. We’re not quite there yet.
More like the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
They actually had a period of relative freedom before that, but that was so they could make the list of who to go after later.
Almost! Idris Elba played a character in “Thor” in the 2010s, it caused a stir then ;)
Then wouldn’t any and all status, paintings, and images of a “white dude” be deemed racist and would need to be removed.
We need a Netflix special with Wakanda saved from poverty and squalor, and raised to incredible heights of peace and prosperity by White Minority rule.
