You really can't make this stuff up.

Quote from:

A public college in Wisconsin is moving two historic paintings out of the public eye after the school’s Diversity Leadership Team warned they could be psychologically devastating for American Indian students.

Yes, devastating.

will they also avoid teaching students about the holocaust for the same reason?

wait, these are college students, correct?   Not some 6 year old, right?

Progressives are so content letting the mental patients run the asylum because it provides so many opportunities for corruption.
There is nothing as pathetic as an adult claiming to be offended by historical facts but demanding no one be given the same courtesy when the tables turn.

“We want to make sure that, really, what we decorate our hallways with and what we put in our hallways is consistent with our values to try to attract more Native Americans to the university,” Meyer said."

Is there no art depicting Custer at Little Big Horn?

Oh, here...

When I was a kid, our local bank had a giant mural of Sacajawea leading Lewis and Clark west.  I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and wished I could be an Indian woman of such stature.

So today I was thinking of this thread everywhere I went, and discovered that, lo! I could devise and contort and create offensiveness in EVERYTHING I saw. 

But when I stopped looking to find it, it vanished.

I could be wrong, but Little Big Horn most definitely doesn't look like a "safe space."  I'm getting offended, people!
