Students sign petition to remove oppressive white stick figure from crosswalk signs

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.

Bunch of candy-ass snowflakes.

Gotta ban snowflakes too, they’re white!

It was a mistake to get rid of the draft.

But they long for communism, where every detail of their lives will be strictly controlled and monitored.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Well, they are convinced that WE will be oppressed, controlled and monitored, they figure THEY are in the ‘command’ group when the only thing they will be kept around for is supernumeraries and if they don’t produce, they will be ‘eliminated’.

I gather there ain’t much learning of the three Rs going on in US Colleges and Universities.

The Democrats started going with their own version of reality. And they can't understand why everyone is not on board with their bizarre behavior.

Up is down. Wrong is right. Right is wrong. Good is evil. Evil is good. Gay is good. Straight is bad. - they are living Isaiah 5:20 and are completely blind to it.

I don't give Michelle a pass because she promoted the same agendas as Barack. She's a full-on part of that team.

It seems that the PC types have no tolerance. The white color is not meant to indicate race anymore than a white tail-light is supposed to.

Three Rs: Rights for downtrodden minorities, Reparations and Revolution.

Not much has changed from the old days./s

Is my memory correct? The signs use to say “WALK” and. “DON'T WALK”, but it was changed to symbols for the nonenglish speaking perdrestents.

The little white man was their choice forced on us. Now they find their own choice to be offensive.

White Crayolas....

Remember when 7 Up was the UnCola?

White Crayolas can be the uncolor.

Otherwise open to “that’s racist” taunting.

“Our future is not in good hands.”

Understatement of the month.

It’s not gonna be pretty when the tail end of boomers retires in 5 years or so. They’re still doing a lot of the heavy lifting in business, technical, medical, engineering, automotive, civil and much more.
