These students are the product of an ignorant faculty and faulty teaching of true American history. Daniel Boone was actually adopted into a tribe as one of its own--they must not have been as closed minded as today's educated masses. Without Ameican pioneers, their would be no America and none of them would exist either--unless they were of one tribe that hadn't been killed off by another.

Diversity is counter productive if it is forced. That is discrimination. When diversity happens, it happens. This discriminates against Whites and our heritage. Oh black history month is coming up, that covers everything we need to know about America.

How about the Clowns? That should cover it.

Perhaps a nice gang-banger mascot like the Bloods, Crips or maybe MS-13. That would cover the two largest minority groups. Just don't let the mascot carry a gun since that would be offensive.

It amazes me the sheer out of touch arrogance and idiocy that thrives in the Ivory Tower is even tolerated by mainstream Americans... but given the kind of bull we accept from Washington I suppose its not all that surprising either.

What a bunch of phoney baloney, hypocritical, politically correct patsies! These ivory tower academics that can't abide the sight of a cartoon character in a coonskin cap will welcome a terrorist like Bill Ayers to give speeches on their campus (paid for with the student's fees whether they like it or not), welcome the traitor into their faculty, and even grant tenure to such scum. Yet somehow it never crosses the minds of these pinheads how insensitive, intolerant, and collaborative with bloodshed that is.

This matter is just one more piece of the bigger picture of the disintegration of United States through revisionist history; imagine a history department that censors symbols. The public is out of the picture so it is assumed that there is universal support for the elite history department that is entitled to make final judgment. In today’s America you’d better be careful, very careful about your symbols and your speech. The land of the free and the brave has all but become a myth.

How about a cross-dressing alien clown with a big head and a rainbow-colored happy smile?

The name "Denver" honors a white male pioneer who was governor of the Kansas territory. Perhaps, the University of Denver should change its name.

Never trust anyone that uses the phrase "people of color" or words like "inclusiveness" and "diversity". These are people that are mindless, brainwashed morons and are discriminatory themselves because words and phrases like these are just codewords for discriminatory actions against whites.

OK so the people who are supposed to educated are this clueless. Since when do the folks that pay the bills (Alumni and Students) don't have a say maybe they shouldn't pay the bill any more....

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
