One student’s complaint of “cultural appropriation” led to the dissolution of a university’s Bhakti yoga group.
American University student Maya Krishnan filed a complaint with the President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion and wrote an op-ed in the student paper, The Eagle, after seeing a non-Indian group invited by American University’s Bhakti Yoga Club performing the Indian epic “The Ramayana,” according to ISKCON News.

No it doesn’t work the other way.
The left just furthering the balkanization and tribalism.
Victim-bullying at work in ‘higher education’, such wonderful openness for new views and opportunities!
You might try to curry favor with them...
Politically Correct gone weaponized.
Was this complaint in the Indian tongue or the culturally appropriated English tongue?
“The left just furthering the balkanization and tribalism.”
We could send them and the other complainers packing back where they came from. They obviously don’t like our culture.
Or, better yet, just laugh at them and continue as you were.
Yes, respect diversity but don’t learn from it because it is “cultural appropriation”. What’s the point of education if we can’t learn and use knowledge from other cultures? Don’t make Indian or Chinese food at home because you are appropriating their culture. Don’t be some imperial colonialist! I would never thought the university can be so DUMB! And I mean DUMB! There is no higher education because there is no education... period!
Can she run a diaper-sized dirty snotrag into one nostril and then out the other?
NO?
Then she should STFU.
All ethnic grocery stores should be banned.
Oh, my.
Lets call it what it is: segregation. Democrats have been advancing segregation since the civil war...
Hmmm, one has to be OF an ethnicity to perform in the arts? Well- I didn’t see it, but I’ve heard plenty- let us discuss ‘Hamilton’. Is there not a misrepresentation there of our founding fathers being portrayed by people of color? Hey, I’m for ‘you have to be this to play this’ if it’s for EVERYONE. And it should be enforced in daily life too- if your culture didn’t originate it, you can’t use it. Most Caucasians will be just fine, those of third world backgrounds will NOT enjoy life.
I pray that all people appropriate Western Christian culture. Soon.
#5 Maya Krishnan will file a complaint against you for using the word ‘Curry”
Oh, my.
That amount of cognitive dissonance must make her dizzy.
This woman made her complaint in English?
Cultural appropriation.
She’s at a university. The modern university system was founded by whites.
She wrote the campus newspaper. Newspapers were invented by white people.
How come it’s okay when she culturally appropriates?
