If their “art” was a crucifix in urine, the administrators would have cheered.

Or a play depicting Jesus as a homo-slut with all his disciples.

“Harris says he found the nooses triggering because he is black and also has grappled with mental health issues. “

Ya think ?

[Kickass Conservative]

Triggering? WTH does that mean?

[BlueLancer]

"He adds that the display could be triggering for military veterans, many of whom attend the school because it is situated near Fort Campbell."

I sincerely doubt that members of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division are going to be stressed because of some bundles of yarn!

I think someone should construct a monument with names on it, like the one for the Vietnam vets, memorializing the tens of thousands of white women raped by blacks over the past 20 years.

I wonder if that would make them uncomfortable?

[Kickass Conservative]

Is the one on the left into Fisting? Just asking...

[fwdude]

I want a bumper sticker that says: "COEXIST - OR ELSE!!

It’s bad enough for a college aged student to be this dense, or this foolish, but for a teaching Professor to approve of it? There is no excuse. One of most likely both of them had to know how this would upset some people, especially those very easily upset by anything they don’t like.

Paging Pastor Fuzz...

[PCPOET7]

that was my thought

... the instructor had not reviewed or approved the final display.

While I understand the significance of a noose, etc wouldn’t this be considered a two fer?

Wouldn’t that be the reasoning behind the Rainbow effect?

It sure is getting cornfusing figerrin’ out what and who gets insulted by who and what.

By my not ‘liking’ the pResidency of BO and potentially HRC, I automatically get deemed a racist & sexist.

Everyday the same people that say I am racist & sexist make claims that if a Black doesn’t vote for a Black he is a ‘race traitor’ and any woman that doesn’t vote for HRC was told there was a place in hell for her.

In view of the above analysis, wouldn’t I be considered a little bit of anything for not voting for the White GUY?

[I want the USA back]

Everything is a trigger today.

[Paladin2]

Set triggers at that.

[Donglalinger]

Warning! Crazy black guy on campus

[lurk]

Tolerance. Like sasquatch, it comes and goes.

[PAR35]

Soldiers get ‘triggered’ by nooses? Or do they think it is an aiguillette and they think the oak tree is an aide de camp and that a senior officer is about to jump out of the bushes looking for a salute?

I just can’t follow the thinking of the crazy n- . Oops, make that ‘the gentleman of colour with mental health issues’.

[Fai Mao]

I get so tired of "trigger words"

These people need to deal with trigger fish.

A noose once bit my sister.
