Photo: Students look through the signs on display in the homophobia portion of the Tunnel of Oppression yesterday in the HUB. The tunnel was sponsored by Housing and Food Services, and included displays and videos to raise awareness about issues such as homophobia, xenophobia, white privilege and gender inequality.

said freshman Erinn Unger. "Hopefully someday there won't be a need for a Tunnel of Oppression."

There isn't one now, dearie.

Also, it appears that liberals define "opressors" as those who publicly disagree with them.

What did His Excellency the Vice-President say after unloading on [and supposedly oppressing] a senator [was it Leahy, or Biden?]? Something on the lines "I feel so much better", IIRC.

When will they address the oppression of certain political ideolgies on college campuses? This sort of gesture from a university has absolutely no credibility until they clean up their own act and quit selectively persecuting one group while whining about the oppression of another. It's all Doublespeak.

Didn't Cartman enjoy a tour through a similar exhibit on South Park?

Our VP was oppressing Leahy that day in a most rigorous and truthful way.

I did! Cartman's response was right on point. I had to participate in an event which was even more stupid as part of my training to be a resident assitant when I was in college.

Ha...we have the same thing here at Ohio State (although we have a whole diversity conference to go along with it...oh joy).

Every year they try and conscript some of us poor ole RAs into helping. Ive been able to avoid having anything to do with it here, but trying to explain any aprehension or annoyance with such projects is like talking to a brick wall. Ah well...

Though the exhibit only stands for one day, those involved said the day was an important step in changing perspectives of oppression.

Darn!
And the Tunnel of Oppression sounds like JUST the spot to rest under my warm, cozy duvet of rage!

They need to raise awareness about issues such as Christophobia, Leftist privilege, and conservative inequality on college campuses.
