The CCP Climate Change Proctologists (CCP) would have been a cool name. The mascot could be a character with huge fingers.

Alan’s reply to CCP, and others of same ilk, would be this:

Yeah, Chaelie was a womanizing drunk, but even he was bright enough to see how facetious these air heads were.....

That's a name I haven't heard in many years! Was it located above the store on Market St?

Actually Snellenburgs went out of business and the city bought the entire building and that was the original campus.

He received more than 600 signatures from the students as they all share the feeling on the usage of the word "colonial" presenting a dark period in the country's history which was filled with oppression and prejudice.

The era before we killed or kicked out the British Government and military was a dark period, but we fixed it. Thank you colonialists!

600 signatures.

How interesting that Snellenburgs has a Wikipedia page — it’s not something I would ever have thought to look up! I remember buying some purple, black and white woolen tweed from them in 1964 to make a skirt and jacket to wear to a Pennsylvania Military College football game! We’re going back a ways!

re. PC dictated that they change to the Raccoons.

Had a coworker that lived in Frisco... he drank coffee from an old mug emblazoned with "Frisco Coons". Swore he'd never throw it out.

Sad, isn’t it? A “Community” college changing its mascot name. Ugh.

Little cuts.Universities, colleges, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools. We tried to fight it back in the early 2000s and we basically lost (nobody cared, people thought homeschooling would protect their own kids - haha - private schooling - haha. You can’t fight what you left.

Colleges have been doing this liberal crap since the 60s.

Elementary, Middle and high schools have been doing this since at least the 70s and 80s. It’s been ramped up since the 90s and no one seems to care. The so called conservatives either homeschool their kids (and think that will help them,lol) or private school their kids (and think that helps them).

The Marxists, liberals, etc. have taken over every institution and we’ve done nothing. Sure, my kids are fine, and for that I’m grateful, but we are the minority.

The Curriculum has changed. It’s astonishing to me as a teacher and (former parent with school age kids).I saw parents fighting this change in the early 2000s and they eventually gave up. I fought it and eventually gave up and figured well mine survived it and are fine. They were fine with the media blast in every area too.

So many aren’t. But even the most conservatives don’t care.They either think homeschooling their kids protects their freedoms or they’ll raise their kids right and that’s enough.

Every single institution has been taken over by liberals and the extreme liberal viewpoint. Education, Religion, Media, Government.

They set the tone (racism, sexism, etc.) and Conservatives have allowed it.

That was their plan, and they've succeeded. At bottom, it's because they don't bellieve in freedom, and we do. They are fundamentally tyrants and think people should be robots ruled by overlords; and we want to have personal responsibility taught at an early age and upheld by the society as the standard. These two ways are incompatible. One has to win. After nations are exhausted by war, they let liberalism win.
