Campus Reform's Ethan Cai recently visited George Washington University in Washington, D.C., to ask students to sign a petition supporting the motion to change the "offensive" and "oppressive" white stick figure in LED crosswalk signs.
Cai visited the university undercover, urging students to sign the outlet's fake petition.
The petition urged the university "to consider changing the crosswalk signs," because a white man telling students when it is OK to cross the street is oppressive.
"As we students cross the street," the petition read, "we are told by the symbol of a white man when it is OK to cross. Many students from diverse backgrounds, including individuals of color, gender fluid individuals, and LGBTQA+ individuals, feel oppressed by this."
Many students were in favor of the petition. One educator was also on board with the proposed change. Just one student voiced dissent, saying he was "ideologically opposed" to the idea of making the crosswalk sign more inclusive.

The school's former mascot, George the Colonial, was changed earlier this year after students voted to remove and replace the offending mascot.
George the Colonial was deemed "extremely offensive" because it "glorifies the act of systemic oppression."
Fifty-four percent of students voted to approve the measure, which passed in March.

Roger that.
Students trigger me, I am scared of stupid little kids.
We need to ban students!
There is a department in the ministry of silly walks that deals with silly walk signs so it should come under their purview.
Careful, I got called a name by someone for basically pointing that out, LOL.
Gee, I’m glad I left my class on “The Psychology of Communism” in the Fall, 1970 to go to SVN and Cambodia to study communism upfront (It was a good class despite the teacher being a Quaker pacifist).
Now GWU is a bastian of Marxism and stupidity. I saved a lot of money by not continuing there and getting a real job as a pro-American journalist (you could do it back then).
Sounds like the petition to get rid of that intrusive and dangerous Dihydrogen Monoxide stuff...
