If Yale wants to cut down on violence they can ban their glee clubs from going to San Francisco.

Yeah, that’ll really help. Liberals are more into symbolism than substance.

LOL! And the insanity continues.
This kind of behavior is what laid the groundwork for Cho to go unnoticed for so long.
Way to go Betty!

Is there no end to this idiocy?
Are they going to end the use of belts from trousers next at Yale? You know, you might be able to strangle someone with one of those dangerous belts!
The United States of Victimhood continues.

Blame Cho not the school. When 9/11 happened didn’t the airlines take measures to ensure safety? This is the same thing. No?

Yale would do better if they let parents know if their children have emotional or mental problems.

...theyve neutered the play,

“Neutering” is their “master plan”, de-balling minus the surgery.
They’ll never get mine, they don’t have a scalpel big enough.

And there are plans to scrap the traditional starting pistol in track and swim meets.
The new method will be for one of the judges to load up on beans, brats and beer 2 hours before each meet and loudly break wind at the appropriate times.

XENA SEZ: It's almost impossible to stage a fight with non-metal weapons. Steel has a look and a sound that spectators know, and wood cannot achieve that.
You maybe could, with a couple VERY good Foley artists behind the scenes, because it's easy enough to replicate the sound of steel on steel, but it'd be prohibitively difficult to time the sound effects to the blows.
Also, wooden weapons just don't have the heft that steel ones do. It's much harder to fake difficulty swinging a two-pound wooden rapier than it is a fifteen-pound steel greatsword.
Frankly, it's an insult to the actors, and were I one of them I'd refuse to do it.

Calling for an end to violence onstage does not solve the worlds suffering: It merely sweeps it under the rug, turning theater in the words of this very play into creamy bon-bons instead of solid fare for a thinking, feeling audience, she said. Here at Yale, sensitivity and political correctness have become censorship in this time of vital need for serious artistic expression.
It would be great if this person's "artistic expression" inspired the use of those large, brightly colored, foam swimming pool noodles in the battle scenes to underscore the absurdity of the policy.
The swordsman, wielding the ridiculous instrument, could pause in battle and offer an aside:
"It matters not if I triumph. All that matters is that you, the audience, are kept safe from the theatric portrayal of violence. Please, use this battle scene as an intermission- as nothing consequential can come this encounter."

Betty is mentally deficient and should be in a cage where regular folks can poke her with wooden swords for their amusement.
