Venetian galley — The Yale rowing team, which is owned, exploited, and operated for the entertainment and profit of the white male capitalist 1% elite who (as we all know) control the world’s economy.

You may have heard about the run-amok political correctness that recently forced the resignation of a dean and a student officer at California’s Claremont-McKenna College (two female students had worn sombreros and painted mustaches at Halloween, or some such appalling crime) and of the chancellor and the president of the University of Missouri, and that’s led to demands for the resignation of the president of Ithaca College and demonstrations at Yale and unrest at roughly one hundred American colleges and universities.

Here are three relevant items that I like, ordered according to decreasing solemnity:

“Campus Commotions Show We’re Raising Fragile Kids”

“Yale’s Idiot Children”

Watching her courageous stand against almost inconceivable horror, I’m reminded of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Aung San Suu Kyi.

Open your wallets, you greedy oppressors of the student class! Their sufferings need to end NOW!
