Well, if they had not invented hoop skirts specifically for the Civil War, we would not have this problem.

/sheesh

Thank goodness that UGA has stepped up to the plate, and is telling women what to wear.

Will they now have a column in "Glamour" or "Cosmo"?

Maybe we need to sic 'em on Moochelle. Somebody needs to have a heart-to-heart about that yellow tablecloth she wore to Japan today.

Let’s ban universities. They might be racist, too. In fact, let’s ban people. They can be racist.

Everyone and everything white is racist. The anointed sages of political correctness have declared it to be so. They’re bigger gasbags than the Hindenburg.

“Some other symbols, like the Confederate soldier uniforms once worn by members of some fraternities on special occasions, were banned years ago, Wilson noted Tuesday.”

Only a revisionist fascist would call banning history positive ‘progress’. Forutnatly Collage campuses are filled with such anti-historical fascist starting with the professors.

Ban hoop skirts.

I don’t care about hoop skirts, I never think about hoop skirts, I had to look up hoop skirt.

So, it’s a dumb idea. Let’s ban everything we can think of that can lead anyone to think about pre-Civil War days. Let’s ban cotton, horses, columns, carriages, staircases, kitchens,....(this is going to be a long list)..biscuits, boutiques, balls, ...

The PC crowd is out of control. Next are they going to ban crosses because the Klan burned them?

This is the new strategy to disconnect citizenry from the history of this country.

It’s just a different deployment of the memory hole.

They only want the “old south” to be remembered is lynchings, slavery and 1960s racism. Anything else that has to to with our heritage is banned. It’s truly disgusting. Hoop skirts are now racist. They act like slavery actually still exists. Do the black students at UGA actually think slavery still exist? If they are so uncomfortable, why don’t they go to black colleges? Geesh.
