Britain's largest national student union has told attendees of its annual conference they would face "consequences" for cheering and clapping because these forms of expression exclude deaf people.

Ban TV because it excludes blind people.
Ban movies because of blind people, ban music because of deaf people ... and s on.
And ban breathing because it excludes dead people - who vote Democrat but don’t breath.
Just heard members of the Alcoholics Anonymous community want to ban liquor stores because every time they drive by one it triggers them to drink. /s
SMH! Guess we need to ban music too since NOT being able to “hear” it makes those that are hearing impaired “feel” bad.
ban sign language, excludes blind people.
But what about amputees and paralyzed folks that cannot do ‘jazz hands’. The horror of it all.
Who knew that someday you’d go to college to learn how to NOT think.
Someday you’d go to college to become a neutered idiot?
Oh what the heck- let’s just ban everything!.
“Student Union Wants to Ban Clapping and Cheering Because it Excludes Deaf People”
Either I need some more coffee, or it just made perfect sense, but I totally read that as “Soviet Union Wants to Ban Clapping”.
1984....should have been a book right before The Revelations in the Bible.
Sounds like a hoax.
Breathing excludes life-challenged (dead) people.
ROTFL! When I was growing up, people went to “college” to become more intelligent. Now they go to learn how to operate in full retard mode. This brilliant idea is full retard. Maybe we all should have our eyes sewed shut because we are “excluding” blind people by being able to see. These are some sick, sick sickos.
Kill all the handicapped.

Just think,,, the oldest US millennials will be eligible to run for President in 2020. When their candidate loses, will the candidate want a participation ribbon.
>>>ban sign language, excludes blind people.<<<
Heck, ban sign language because most hearing people can’t understand it - so it offends them also!
This world would be SO much better if every one would just crawl up in their blanket and lock the door.
