Harvard Law Dean Denounces ‘Okay to Be White’ Stickers on Campus

Harvard Law School Dean of Students Marcia L. Sells has condemned the posting of “It’s okay to be white” stickers on the university campus, calling them divisive and “a provocation.”

According to reports, at least 20 handmade stickers bearing the message “It’s okay to be white” were posted on light poles and electrical boxes around Cambridge Common and Harvard Square as well as at Harvard’s Wasserstein and Hastings Halls last week, provoking consternation from university officials.

In an email message, Dean Sells said that the content of the stickers was “intended to divide us from one another.”

“HLS [Harvard Law School] will not let that happen here. We live, work, teach, and learn together in a community that is stronger, better, and deeper because of our diversity and because we encourage open, respectful, and constructive discourse.”

On receiving reports about the stickers, Cambridge Police instructed the Department of Public Works to remove them and public works employees were seen diligently removing the offending stickers by scraping them off with a putty knife. Most of the stickers were apparently removed within hours after they were discovered.

As would be expected, social media revealed mixed reactions to the stickers, ranging from condemnation to support.

It’s fun to trigger Harvard officials.

And if the signs had read, “It’s Okay to Be Black,” what would have happened?

Dean Sells translation: "No, it's not okay to be white."

Another one of the “usual suspects” in this type of discussion.

Liberals always fall for the bait.

If the Dean had said, "Of course it's okay to be who you are," this issue would be dead.

But nooooo...she had to take the bait.

In an email message, Dean Sells said that the content of the stickers was “intended to divide us from one another.”

You mean, "intended to divide white wealth from the communities that deserve to loot it." :)

Another mark of success for this masterful troll from the autists at 4chan.

She can determine the intent of the whoever made these stickers from her lavish office? WOW, I'm impressed! She must be a modern day Kreskin the mind reader. A regular Long Island medium. I could use someone like her to tell me what numbers will come up on the next powerball drawing. I'll even split my share of the winnings with her.

Black lives matter = perfectly acceptable
It’s ok to be white = a “provocation” intended to divide us

What a world.

[ThunderSleeps]

So is she against all statements that bolster someone’s self image? Or is she only against positive statements about particular races? Because if her approval (or lack thereof) is based on race....hmm, there’s a name for that...I’m sure I’ve heard it somewhere recently....

That's the beauty of the meme -- the Left just can't resist the bait.
