Title: Banning Whiteboards
Post by: Ben on February 22, 2017, 11:10:45 AM
University of Michigan has banned whiteboards in order to stop offensive language. Stupid whiteboards. So what happens if they replace them with blackboards? After all, I think we recently learned that chalk is racist.

Well, I guess it's back to Sharpies on the bare walls.

Whiteboards are for wimps.  Whatever happened to good old school spray paint-based graffiti?

Typical *expletive deleted*ing liberal mentality.

Banning the inanimate object will cure the bad behavior by the animate ones.

I bet when someone DOES spray paint something rude on a wall or do somewhere they'll all stand around, scratching their heads, wondering what went wrong because, after all, they took decisive action.

I'd say stupid monkeys...

But your average monkey is miles smarter than these fucksticks.

Rarely do I laugh at twitter replies, but I did chuckle at the one that roughly said "So Trump is bad, but this is ok."

Well of course it's right!

It's done with the best social intentions! It's done to boost self esteem! It's done to promote a sense of kumbayah! It's done by the right minded, right thinking liberal!

You obviously are a Nazi racists if you think that this right, correct, and inclusive action is anyway equal to that evil, evil, man!

We know the right things to think, and we will tell you what to think! And there will be no distension!

I truly did not know that they still used boards/notes any longer.  Thought it was all replaced by text messaging/IM/Instagram/etc...

It's a good way to target messages for random schmoes who might be attempting to visit your dorm room for whatever reason.

Text messages are for specific people.

If they thought whiteboards were racist,  just wait till the weapons grade memes come out when they get smartboards...

MSU's Banned Books Week, from last year ↓

http://bookings.lib.msu.edu/event/2740356

Quote
Celebrate Banned Books Week and help draw attention to the issues surrounding censorship. Come read short passages from your favorite banned book into the microphone on the Main Library's patio. A selection of frequently banned books will also be available for reading.

Banning books - bad

Banning whiteboards - great idea!

A temporary "ban" on immigration from certain terrorist-ridden countries - bad

An indefinite, actual ban on scribblings in a dorm hallway - good!
