Someone posts flyers saying "It's okay to be ____." University prez screams that it's "hate speech"
Suppose someone posted a flyer saying, oh, "It's okay to be Canadian." Or "It's okay to be latino." Or "It's okay to be black."
Does any rational person think any of those could possibly be construed as hateful, or "hate speech"? No.
So would any rational person think a university president would consider such flyers hateful, or "hate speech," or threatening in ANY way, shape or form?
No. In fact university presidents would gush with praise for such a wunnerful display of pride.
So when some flyers appeared at Western Connecticut State University saying "It's okay to be...white," you'd guess the adminishits would react about the same way, eh? I mean, we just established that they'd have been perfectly happy with flyers that substituted "Canadian," "latino" or "black" for white, eh?
But of course liberal college admin types--awash with their guilt about "white privilege"--went nuts. University president John Clark characterized the flyers as a "hateful attack."
“Have no doubt that we are treating this as an attack on our university community and making every effort to see that those responsible are caught and properly punished,” Clark wrote. “I am fully committed to the absolutely necessary goal this does not happen again. We must be ever vigilant to protect our university against these hateful attacks.”
Clark added that if any student was found to be responsible for posting the flyers, they would be expelled, as well as being charged with "possible criminal actions.”
Again, to get a handle on how utterly insane this is, imagine how the same f'n moron would have reacted to the same flyer saying "It's okay to be black," eh? Not a peep. But in the view of this idiot the exact same sentiment about "white" merits expulsion and criminal charges.
Double standards. Two sets of rules. Eventually someone will get tired of this crap.
And by the way: the FBI says they're now "investigating the flyers."
