We’re taking the swords away from you because we don’t know who the nuts are.

If Yale wants to cut down on violence they can ban their glee clubs from going to San Francisco.

Instead of duels, perhaps dance-offs can be substituted.

Yeah, that’ll really help. Liberals are more into symbolism than substance.

LOL! And the insanity continues.

This kind of behavior is what laid the groundwork for Cho to go unnoticed for so long.

Way to go Betty!

Is there no end to this idiocy?

Are they going to end the use of belts from trousers next at Yale? You know, you might be able to strangle someone with one of those dangerous belts!

The United States of Victimhood continues.

Blame Cho not the school. When 9/11 happened didn’t the airlines take measures to ensure safety? This is the same thing. No?

Yale would do better if they let parents know if their children have emotional or mental problems.

Yah, their next production of Hamlet will simply have to do without Act V.

I wonder if the estate of Will Shakespeare could bring suit?

PC idiocy at its apogee, sheesh.

...they’ve neutered the play,”

___

“Neutering” is their “master plan”, de-balling minus the surgery.

They’ll never get mine, they don’t have a scalpel big enough.

The battle scenes in Brave-heart can be reshot to look like River-dance.

Conga Line at the O.K. Corral
The Man who Waltzed Liberty Valance
The St. Valentine’s Day Sock Hop

And there are plans to scrap the traditional starting pistol in track and swim meets.

The new method will be for one of the judges to load up on beans, brats and beer 2 hours before each meet and loudly break wind at the appropriate times.

Wow, this is mind-numbingly absurd. How do these people find their way home at night?
