Could these universities get any more ridiculous? So what does social justice have to do with this? Oh, I remember. Any thought that goes against liberal thinking is racist.

Bet if he had used a picture of Colin Kaepernick they would have praised him for it.

If he had a gay pride flag behind him, he’d have gotten extra credit.

I would sue the shiite out of he school.

Expressing a political candidate in a pic behind you isnt bullying, they damn well know,it

So sue them and make them pay for their delibrate atempt at bullying him.

seems to me a handful of like minded clear thinking students could really have some fun with this and cement the Big Payoff from the lawsuit.

4 student
1 with a Trump Background
1 with Barry the Muslim
1 with Karl Marx
1 with Joe Stalin

lets see which one gets tagged

“””He faces six charges, including harassment and cyberbullying, and may have to attend a “social justice workshop” if found guilty.”””

If found guilty of showing a picture of the President of the United States?

I didn’t check but I hope this is satire. But it probably isn’t.

Positively Orwellian.

Its a paradox of our age, but you will never meet anyone as narrow-minded and stupid as an “academic.”

I remember those stupid UN blue 0bama posters and bumper stickers everywhere ad nauseum, especially in various classrooms when I taught. I put up with it. Now, a student suddenly can’t have a poster of the President of the United States of America in his own home? He’s charged with harassment and cyber bullying? I’d take the university to court if they follow through with any form of punishment for it.

Here’s the thing. It only takes one - just one - deranged leftist to complain about something. Then all hell breaks loose.

That one complainer will be accommodated. Action will be swiftly taken on his behalf. The world will be turned upside down.

Instead the complainer should be told to just shut up.

It wasn’t a political candidate though. It was the President of the United States for God’s sake! Sue them for $100 Billion dollars and remove ALL federal funding forever.

if you hold up a white card to an academic and ask him the color....He'll think it is a trick question.....If you tell him its white....He will immediately tell you you are WRONG!!
