All classes on campus have been cancelled for the immediate future at Western Washington University because someone posted "hate speech" on social media yesterday.

President Bruce Shepard sent out a message to students and staff today, saying that someone posted "hate speech" online "targeted at Western students of color."

"I need to be VERY clear here," he wrote, "we are not talking the merely insulting, rude, offensive commentary that trolls and various other lowlifes seem free to spew, willy nilly, although there has been plenty of that, too. No, this was hate speech."

Thus, all classes have been cancelled.

President Shepard said he could not say what the messages said because "of an ongoing law enforcement investigation."

The person who posted the hate speech may or may not be a student at Western Washington University. There is also "no threat to general campus safety."

However, "as a campus, we will come together to demonstrate our outrage, to listen to each other, and to support each other. So, I have decided to cancel classes today in order to provide that time."

President Shepard added, "Have no doubt: this is not a capitulation to those I described as trolls and lowlifes. We are going after them."

No wonder an American college degree is not worth camel spit.

Do the students get a refund for the missed classes? We know the answer, fuhgeddaboudit.

[TheConservator]

Since I am paying my daughter’s tuition to attend that school, I will be demanding some of it back.

[Osage Orange]

Pussy!

[xzins]

Are there universities that actually educate? Or are they all wrapped up in this nonsense?

[Lurker]

Better yet pull her out.

If I was a paying student there I would definitely be thinking law suit right about now.

At this point, probably the best option is to SHUT DOWN ALL COLLEGES, at least until ADULTS can be found to run them.

[windsorknot]

Bruce Shepard is a poodle. He needs to be fired.

[matt1234]

Besides displaying his cowardice, this president has just published a simple procedure whereby anyone can shut down his campus. What a fool.

[RummyChick]

Why don’t they shut down when BlacklivesMatter spew their hate speech at whites?

[fwdude]

So, even the president is a delicate little snowflake?

Who's giving odds it's democrat activists posting the hate speech? I mean, it's too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel.

99.9% of these red herrings turn out to be left-wing moron drones trying to foment racial hatred.

However, "as a campus, we will come together to demonstrate our outrage, to listen to each other, and to support each other. So, I have decided to cancel classes today in order to provide that time."

So all the students are given a day off to sit around, hold each other and cry because someone typed something somewhere that made someone else angry? How productive.

As I get older, I now understand a bit more about how God tests us with tough times. They really suck, but often we are the better for it. These kids will enter the workplace someday and reality is going to hit them like a Mack truck.

I wonder, will we every see this “hate speech” and be able to determine just how threatening it was for the student body?

[Maine Mariner]

Well, did he just cancel classes for one day.
Thanksgiving Break starts at many college today or at 4 pm tomorrow. Some even have the whole week off.

Send her to Hillsdale. Do her a favor.

[ßuddaßudd]

Smells similar to the Swastika made with Feces episode ...

[DirtyDawg]

I have my undergrad degree from Western Washington ... can hardly wait for the annual call asking for money
