UMass: Making Harambe Jokes Is Racist And Possibly A Title IX Violation

Christine Rousselle

The University of Massachusetts Amherst just killed Harambe all over again. Harambe jokes, that is.
Since his most untimely death at the hands of a zookeeper in March after a toddler entered the gorilla enclosure, Harambe has become an internet sensation. He's been included in presidential polls, appeared on shirts, been the subject of song parodies, and presidential candidates have released statements about him. It's nearly impossible to go anywhere on the internet without seeing something Harambe-related.

However, none of this matters to two industrious resident assistants at the University of Massachusetts, who have emailed their "first years" (guessing "freshman" is too sexist too) warning them that use of Harambe memes or making Harambe jokes is racist and potentially constitutes sexual assault. (A popular offshoot of the Harambe meme is saying that a person is going to expose the slang word for male genitalia "for Harambe.").....Congratulations, college students: we've reached peak absurdity.......To Read More......

My Take - Ok....all together now.....Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil!!!!  We daily see more and more reasons why we need to stop funding universities and  stop providing student loans.  We daily see more and more reasons for ending tenure in education.  Let them say or do what they please.....as long as they're self funding universities competing in the market place of ideas, then if they fail....they can close.  Then these PC leftists can go out into the real world instead of that delusional leftist utopia they've created in their heads and see if the business world thinks they're thoughts are desirable.  If they do....these business can then live with the consequences of hiring blithering idiots. 

But at least they won't be contaminating the pliable minds of young uninformed and misinformed kids turning them into some modern form of Hitler Youth.  Capturing the minds of the young has always been part and parcel of leftist thinking, and this was the goal of those who created American education over 100 years ago.
