University Students Comforted with ‘Counseling’ after Seeing Confederate Flag on Laptop

University students in Massachusetts who were upset by an image of a Confederate flag sticker on another student's laptop were offered counseling services at Framingham State University.

The offer came after the university's "chief diversity and inclusion officer," Sean Huddleston, described the display of the small Confederate flag sticker as a "bias incident."

-snip

MRCTV obtained the email in which Huddleston wrote:

A student reported a bias incident today, in which the image of the Confederate flag was displayed on a laptop. Many of you may be aware that last month we received a Bias Incident involving two other students for a similar issue. Although related in nature, the two incidents involve separate parties.

The FSU Bias Protocol and Response Team has been made aware of the incident, and will meet to determine any measures that may be needed to respond to the incident. Our primary goal continues to be to expeditiously address and resolve incidents of bias that impede our progress toward a welcoming and inclusive campus community.

"Counseling" is just another term for liberal brainwashing.

"One look at the brightly-emblazoned General Lee with its inimitable Stars and Bars and lo, his heart gave out. I've seen it before."

Um...General Lee had the Confeerate Battle Flag emblazoned on its roof.

If the students actually saw a Star and Bars flag

they would probably not know what it was as it was the 1st Confederate flag with seven stars representing the original 7 Confederate states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina.

Think of it this way. If we have another civil war, our side will definitely win.

Both of my kids have hunted, gutted, butchered animals. They don’t get traumatized when they see a symbol that they don’t like. Hell, I’d bet on my son over three hundred liberal kids any day of the week.

Now that I think about it, they’d both probably enjoy it.

It could have been a reference to the bitter conflict between Framingham North HS and Framingham South HS, but they were merged some years back.

The Union Army was there just last month.

I think they caught the kid who did it:

Then much jollity:

What is it with these kids nowadays and their crazy newfangled hoop skirts and crinolines?

This FSU is Framingham State University in Massachusetts, Framingham is very close to Boston and seething with liberal a-holes. Not the FSU of Seminole fame, Florida State University.

Florida State University - "Go 'Noles!"

Collegiate hothouse flowers wilt at sight of computer icon.

Teams of professional grief counselors have been rushed to the scene.

Or the challenge of being a woman NAMED Dixie on campus. Not mine, but was talking to a woman who is going by Dix or her last name given the issue.

And per the slippery slope, there are already liberals decrying the American flag as racist, a symbol of colonialism, etc.

Those idiots are too immature to even attend grade school let alone college. Sounds like a major lack of “real life” experiences. Perhaps those poor imbeciles need to be sent home until they are mature enough to know their ways to and from school without someone holding their hands.

If these students need counseling after seeing a Confederate flag sticker then the real world is going to prove fatal to them.

My thought too. “Bias Protocol?” What the hell can that be?

Is the “Response Team” like a SWAT team?

Do they burst into your dorm room and hurl a grenade at your laptop?

Perhaps they wear Arab garb in order to really scare you?

One more reason to avoid that piss-poor mess in Massachusetts.

Is this a quote from 1984?

Some students never grow up. No wonder our nation is in such a mess.

Just hand each of them a joint and send them on their way.
