Professors at an upstate New York university will “take a knee” tomorrow in a show of solidarity with protesters across the country.

“Scores of Cornell faculty members” will get down on one knee on the school’s Arts Quad on Wednesday in order to “bring awareness to issues including police violence against black Americans,” according to The Cornell Daily Sun. The organizers of the event “hope [they] will be joined by students and members of the Ithaca community.”

I think it makes the knee-takers look like fools following a fad.

Somehow I don’t see these communist bastions (college) ever playing the National Anthem for these snowflake commies to kneel to. Maybe BLM will slap them lily white pansies upside the head for appropriating their football protest.

They don’t understand what the protest is about. Sheila Jackson Lee can explain it and it will even surprise the protesters. Here all along they thought they were protesting unequal justice blah blah blah!!! No one this stupid should even be breathing air!!!

“”Please.......what exactly are they protesting?””

See my post #44 - just posted. Sheila Jackson Lee, distinguished (cough cough) TX congress critter can explain it to you and I guess to the protesters...I think it will come as a surprise to them but never doubt Sheila.. (s)

She’s really dumber than a box of rocks.

More evidence that liberal arts educations have become a scam.

“”They need to go the ag. school and kneel all the way down—put their faces in the cow dung!””

Ouch - I remember as a kid (long, long ago) when we had relatives visiting from PA for Sunday dinners, my father and uncles would want to go to the “bull barns” at Cornell. Being farmers, this was what they wanted to do. We kids were terrified. I was afraid of the one bull on our farm to start with and going to the barns where there were dozens of monstrous, mean looking, noisy bulls was child abuse IMO!! We were never left at home - had to go with them.

BUT if these so called professors could be locked in that barn (if it still exists), that would be perfect.

Never gave any thought before to why Cornell’s color was RED...worked there in the early fifties - but now I know! Perfect. Wonder if Ezra would approve??
