Bradbury and Orwell would have been impressed (or saddened) to see so much of what they prophesied come to life.
The University of Wisconsin-Stout has removed two large historical paintings after the school’s “Diversity Leadership Team” proclaimed the paintings might be psychologically damaging to American Indian students.
Since 1936, two large murals by Cal Peters portraying early Wisconsin history have dominated the common area of Harvey Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout). One mural shows French fur traders and American Indians traveling down the Red Cedar River by canoe, while another portrays a wooden fort constructed by the French. Neither painting shows any violence at all.
In this day and age, these paintings are “offensive.”
In addition, UW-Stout’s Diversity Leadership Team complained about the murals to Meyer, arguing their presence helped to perpetuate racial stereotypes.
“There’s a segment of Native American students, that when they look at the art, to them it symbolizes an era of their history where land and possessions were taken away from them, and they feel bad when they look at them,” UW-Stout chancellor Bob Meyer said.
The paintings will be moved from the common areas into the Harvey Hall library and a dean’s conference room. Some have accused the university of censoring history and have said the decision is political correctness run amuck.
Chancellor Meyer disagreed, calling it a good business decision not based on political correctness.
“So, 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.

Fucksticks!
Sorry, it was the only positive thing I could say that came to mind.
I am glad they were taken down. As a person of French descent it upsets me to see what my ancestors had to do and who they had to deal with.
Well, the leadership there seems to think their Native American students are psychologically unfit to live without special protection from their own history.
Fragile little things, the remaining Indians, I presume.
Maybe they should ban all alcohol and pictures or advertising of alcohol from campus as well?

Funny how its a white guy (im assuming, sounds like a white guy name) who makes this claim. I’d like to hear from them. Not that it matters, this shit is fucktarded either way, but if they are going to make this claim, you’d think they could trot out an actual native american who was offended.
Another school off the hiring list. Luckily they also make it easy by majoring in dumbass things. That way you have a good chance of avoiding hiring a toxic and useless employee.
My Dream is we just as easily erase everything Liberal especially all modern art, modern math, Political Correctness, Diversity, Affirmative Action, Democrats, Free this and that Zones, Pervert Parades, Fag Flags, etc.
