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.

I’ve been triggered.
Ban white sales too. They raciss’.
CC
They should.
On the one hand, it’s funny. On the other hand, dolts like these students will become the adults who inherit America. Our future is not in good hands.
Yo, jus tell the little white man,”aw, HELL NAH” and step out inna street.
The use of “triggered” is offensive to victims of gun violence and their loved ones.
I have to wonder if this didn’t start out as someone trolling. Then when the trollees were too stupid to realize it, it took on a life of its own.
I'm triggered by "Black Friday Sales", hide crouching in a closet until it's over. Ban them also.
So basically, people of color only see a person’s skin color.
Students need to spend more time on their GPA & getting a job when they graduate.
I propose changing the white stick figure to an orange stick figure.
(orange man bad)
Even worse: The Don’t Walk symbol is an orange hand.
Orange Man Bad, and this is a symbol of his oppression.
What is really needed is a race-sensitive camera to determine the race of those approaching the crosswalk so that a race-appropriate sign can be flashed.
However, Mrs. foxfield goes one further. She suggests a camera with x-ray vision to detect the sex of those approaching so that a gender-appropriate sign can be flashed so as not to offend anyone.
So there!
It’s amazing. They think a traffic sign is oppressive - how dare you be told to stop or go. But they long for communism, where every detail of their lives will be strictly controlled and monitored.
Well, the background is black.
oh for crying out loud , these people are just idiots
This is satire, correct?
George Washington and American Univ. both are brain-dead, PC-slogan-spewing, leftist woke sh**holes. Certainly the Administration and most of the faculty. I am imagine there are a few normal students, keeping their heads down just trying to get through
