American Silliness; it just gets worse and worse. 2/22/2017

Yale Students Are Offended — Calhoun College’s Name Was Changed to Honor a White Woman   "People were complaining that Yale University’s John Calhoun College was named after a slave owner, so they changed it to “Grace Hopper College,” in honor of the female computer scientist and rear admiral — but some people are still upset, because Grace Hopper was white." . . .

Scripps Students Upset About Madeleine Albright Speech Because She’s White

. . . "Now, to be fair, not all of Mabon’s criticisms of the selection are unwarranted. For example: Mabon explains that — as a woman who does not support Hillary Clinton — she does not want to have to “sit quietly” and listen to someone who once insinuated that women who do not support Hillary Clinton have a “special place in Hell.” As a fellow woman in this category, this is definitely something I can understand." . . . 

UC California has created a travel ban of its own, which prohibits its own public university students from traveling to “anti-LGBT” states.  . . . "UCLA’s football team is scheduled to play Memphis in September and Cal State Long Beach baseball will play North Carolina in March.

"Unhinged Maxine Waters Calls Trump’s Cabinet a ‘Bunch of Scumbags’ and the ‘Kremlin Klan’ "

"Maxine Waters: I just think the American people need to know what is going on. This is a bunch of scumbags. That’s what they are. They’re all organized around making money."
That would be this Maxine Waters: . . .

And way back then, she saw no scumbags in the riots in 92 "Waters' confrontational style has earned her--and others who share her approach--both praise and criticism. After the riots, the Orange County Register, conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh and other media lambasted Waters for refusing to denounce the looters." . . .
