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.

[”we are told by the symbol of a white man when it is OK to cross”]
Oh, I can totally see that. Pretty scary, too. Yep, that’s some severe and planned racism right there. Honky pedestrian signs. It all make perfect sense now.
Now don’t forget, all those white stripes on the freeway tell you to stay in your lane, too.
Maybe Cosmo Kramer can help you with that problem. Wide lanes. How luxurious.
Just because I have a penis doesn’t mean I don’t identify as a woman you White Devil!

This needs to stop.
Q: Why did the white man cross the road?
A: . . . .
If my friend from grad school forty years ago and I were young and in school now, that’s exactly what we would have done. Little acts of subversion helped us cope in the liberal environment, which was nowhere near as bad as it is today.
When the stickman is white, whites can walk.
When the stickman turns red, redskins can walk.
When the screen goes black, blacks can walk.
We already have diversity!
No mo’ white sheets!
Mooch Post 27.. winner!
I can tell you aren't a young current student. That old fashioned studying and hard work is passe.
And what job do they expect with "Assertions Against Toxic Masculinity", "Post Patriarchy Feminist Philosophy", "Non Western Poetry" or "Philosophy of Black History."
Ok, ok, they can find a job teaching the same majors in college.
Or work at Costco or Target for a few years until the colleges stop shrinking due to lower funding. Ones near here have shed many teaching jobs due to declining enrollment. Legislature refuses to stay even with inflation. Reductions every year.
Heh, that would make me definitely NOT cross the street!
Maybe the snowflakes really aren’t going to survive 11 more years...
Sure will make things easier for the normal people.

That’s what Buttermilk said. (You have to be old enough to remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans to get it).
When I saw the title of the thread, I was expecting to find an article from the Babylon Bee.
I worked three part-time jobs to pay for that tuition. I also took a full load of classes every semester and went to summer school.
Graduated with honors in three years. Then reported for active duty in the Air Force a month after graduating.
Life was simpler back then.
