Maybe he can get a job with ISIS tearing down statues and burning libraries.

“It’s 2016, I shouldn’t have to come to work and see things like that.”

Or, you could be mature, and suggest a placard be placed nearby that explains contextually what the picture represents, and how reprehensible slavery was etc. Remembering the past, and the mistakes that were made, is the best way to avoid repeating mistakes moving forward.

That’s what you calm political correctness blow back by a brain dead zombie that has been successfully balkanized.

Now it has cost him his job.

“...and he responded by resigning his post with the college”

_________________________________________

He was a dishwasher. Dishwasher.

Leave it to Yale to make dishwasher a “post”.

It’s people like this that remind me how far blacks have progressed in society.

He’d better go smash every bottle of Aunt Jemima Syrup and every box of Uncle Ben’s rice in stores, then. How dare they?

Let’s eliminate all historical references to slavery - put them into the memory hole. Then there will be no justification for affirmative action or reparations of any kind. No reasons for any kind of complaints.

““What is more valuable to Yale: a stained-glass window of enslaved people picking cotton, or the humanity of the African-American people who work at Yale?” said John Jairo Lugo of the group Unidad Latina en Action.”

They're not mutually exclusive, John. The fact that there are plenty of minorities attending Yale should be considered when you are making such comments. The bigger question for all universities is whether or not they will be havens of free-thought, or repressive environments in which political correctness will dictate what is considered free speech.

“Until recently, Thomas Menafee worked as a dishwasher for Yale.”

Was actually expecting a professor.

Good for him. We should not be romanticizing and/or celebrating slavery. Or their advocates. Put the windows in a museum.

You know folks, this is an example of why we need to maintain real physical books, not just electronic systems like Kindle.

The day is coming when the government will simply press a button to get rid of all literary or artistic expression it disagrees with.

A physical book is forever. An electronic book can always simply be deleted by those who retain control over it.

It’s very nice - well, it was. Why not look at this piece of art as showing the stoic nature of these people - hardworking, long-suffering and noble??

The window, he said, was an offensive portrayal of slavery, and so on June 13 he impulsively decided to eliminate it by force.

BLMers seem to have a difficult time with ...impulse control. If he complained about it they'd have probably taken it down, given the PC sensitivities these days.

the college is not seeking compensation for the destruction and has requested that Menafee not be prosecuted.

If a straight white conservative destroyed campus property you can bet they'd prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
