Students target frats for 'cultural appropriation' (no more Toga Parties)
Campus Reform ^ | April 26, 2018 | Toni Airaksinen

Posted on 04/27/2018 7:45:08 AM PDT by Zakeet

Student senators at the University of Washington-Seattle recently introduced a bill that would require fraternities to prevent "cultural appropriation" during social gatherings.

[Snip]

... the bill is necessary because many "mainstream [fraternity] celebrations further perpetuate stereotypes minority groups have to face," adding that they contribute to the "harm that minority students face" on campus.

Time for the frats to perform some “attitude adjustments” to the non university eligible, but still university students, trying this.

There is a steady and focused effort to eliminate “Greek Life” on nearly every US university I have been to.

Faber University will not tolerate this.

Triple, even quadruple secret probation.

Appropriating a long-dead culture is offensive to whom, exactly?

Actually, fraternities have a large number of gay members now. So this rule is anti-gay.

Yes, Romans are deeply incensed by the appropriation of their toga attire. Romulus himself probably contacted the PC crowd, in their dreams no doubt, to complain. 8>)

This could get pretty complicated.

They are going to have to prepare a comprehensive list of Do’s and Don’t’s for every leftard victim group.

What happens when they catch African-Americans and Arabs wearing European style clothing (pants and shirt instead of loin cloths and robes) and eating apple pie, ice cream, hamburgers, fries, pizza, etc.?

Are Native Americans allowed to eat food prepared with a microwave or gas range or are they limited to food they killed themselves cooked outdoors over an open fire?

And where will the cafeteria get seal and walrus blubber to feed students who are natives of the Arctic regions?

Senators...another thing appropriated from old Rome.

Time to do away with the student senators.
