Default OMG!! I saw a Confederate Flag sticker!

The incidents happened in Framingham State University in Massachusetts when, not one, but two separate incidents of students seeing a Confederate Flag being displayed caused them to file Bias Reports.

The Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Sean Huddleston, released an Email. Before you ask, yes, a ‘Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer,’ is a real thing, and not a joke to poke fun at how ridiculous the safe space agenda has gotten on college campuses. It is an actual job that a person can put on their resume.

According to the Email from Huddleston:

“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 second of the two incidents happened when one college student saw a little sticker of the Confederate Flag on the computer of another university student.

Huddleston’s Email continues,

“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.”

The two offended students have been offered counseling in response to the ordeal that they have gone through.

Spence, you failed to post a trigger warning before you made this post, and I am offended. I have filed a bias report with the mods about your post, and the offensive nature of that post.

I'm considering a lawsuit against you for mental anguish and loss of consortium. I'll know more after my first few counseling sessions.

almost makes you want to drive your pickup up that way, yeah, the one with the confederate flag back window, that plays "Dixie" when you hit the horn, that has the NRA sticker on the back bumper, and a cross hanging from the rear view mirror, and drive around town for a day or so, telling all the snow flakes that someday they too might earn enough at their job to afford such a fine ride.

On a somewhat related note, on Sunday I was driving back to Cow Hampshire with my 11 year old son. While in Connecticut, we passed a convoy of military vehicles travelling in the same direction. He said he was "concerned" about seeing the vehicles, as he didn't know if there was a base nearby.

I almost wanted to hit the ejector seat button. But I didn't. About a half hour later, we passed a base, and he then said he was no longer concerned.

Long story short, my son is a damn snowflake.

The quoted text contains a typo.
It should read, "The two offended students have been bitch-slapped and kicked in the nuts."

If the military was National Guard they don't take order from the President until they are Federalized. Until then, they take orders from the Governor of the State they are based in.

"And a clearer case of insanity on the part of the Plaintiff. Make him show us his penis, Your Honor...if he has one. He claims loss of consortium: Just how much consortium can one have with a 3-inch penis? Why, he even offered to settle if I'd show him my privates!

Remember this, Your Honor: He lisps! And you know what that means. His teeth probably fold back, too."

Yep! They came at night and if the door wasn't answered, they'd kick it down and drag your ass 'downtown', sometimes for days.....

Today's response teams are gentler, but it's still the same fascist brutality.
