Me too. What nonsense.

If true, Boise State attracts the nation's biggest wimps, the same ones who reach for Valium whenever somebody utters one of the many words that offend them.

Boise State University has turned down a request from veterans for
a 21-gun salute on campus Monday to mark Veterans Day, saying
it might scare bystanders still spooked by school shootings
in other states.


Leave it to a bunch of OVERPAID "educators"...
to deny people that pay tuition an EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

This is typical of liberals and liberal/revisionist historians.

They do EVERYTHING THEY CAN to REVISE/ERASE the past.
For FEAR someone might perceive the truth of history and understand that
these "educators" are a bunch of liberal Propaganda Officers
that simply hold the title "Professor".

president@boisestate.edu gets an email to Kustra. I’ve sent one out to him asking him to reconsider. Be firm but polite and maybe we’ll get him to change his mind.

First Larry Craig, now this.

Next thing you know, Butch Otter will want to build a commuter railroad between Boise and Marsing.

(Sorry about the slightly obscure New Mexico reference.)

Should they ban moments of silence too, because they sound just like someone being smothered?

NM has enough political scandals for five states, and Bill Richardson is busy padding his resume at the state taxpayer's expense by building a boondoggle railroad.

There is also an interesting Boise tie-in here. The locomotives are built by Motive Power, Inc.

Here ya go for thread derailment linking,

Boise Light Rail: Fantasy or Reality

Albuquerque, New Mexico, took such a leap last month, launching its "Rail Runner" line to the outlying suburbs of Belen and Bernallilo two years before the city's light rail system is scheduled to open.
