donor has pulled funds supporting art students at the University of Hawaii after the art department’s chairwoman organized a sign-painting party on Facebook to protest President-elect Donald Trump.

Chairwoman Gaye Chan says she used her personal Facebook page to invite people to paint signs together on campus.

“Regardless of who you voted for, or if at all, there will be long-term results that will negatively impact us all,” she said on her Facebook page. “People are already experiencing misogynist and racist harassment. Let’s unite by showing solidarity by attending two events tomorrow.”

The great thing is that people are coming out of the woodwork to support pulling of the funds—on comments on the article and on Facebook. Unheard of in politically correct Hawaii where people get subjected to all sorts of politically correct nonsense all the time.

But...,but.....,but..... what about their first amendment rights. We were already experiencing misogynist and racist harassment, and now this racists misogynist cuts off our funding for pointing out that Trump is a racist misogynist, supported by racist misogynists.

She is facing some of those “long term” consequences already.

“Regardless of who you voted for, or if at all, there will be long-term results that will negatively impact us all,”

We could have said that 8 years ago.

And we would have been correct.

Time for Haxit.

Shouldn’t they be involved in something worthwhile - like documenting the History of Hula or something?

From the Article ... “This guy is trying to limit free speech with his money,” said Alan Ness, a graduate who obtained his masters in fine arts from the university in 2008 ...

I believe the operative phrase here is “HIS MONEY”!

From the link:

“This guy is trying to limit free speech with his money,” said Alan Ness, a graduate who obtained his masters in fine arts from the university in 2008. “The universities are already underfunded, and now this guy is just exacerbating the problem by pulling his funds for the arts because he doesn’t like what the arts are saying.”

In other words, the donor has an obligation to give money to projects that Alan Ness -- and not the donor -- supports. This is idiocy.

My guess is that many liberals never learned to respect the difference between "my toys" and "your toys" when they were children. Their philosophy has never advanced past the infantile "It's all MINE!"

Underfunded? They have a $280 million endowment.
