I'm infuriated. Have you seen this? No, probably not.
Recently, there was a resolution brought before the University of Washington Student Senate. You can read it here. Essentially, it was to honor COL G. "Pappy" Boyington, USMC. You may, or may not, remember him from WW2, when he commanded the famous "Black Sheep" squadron. He went on to be awarded the Medal of Honor. He was an American Hero.
Should be an easy resolution to pass? Perhaps not on the campuses of American universities.
Read the transcripts of the Senate meeting. Specifically, it can be found at the bottom of page 4 through page 8.
The resolution was DEFEATED. Why? Well, let's look at some of the comments raised:
Jill Edwards doesn't believe that a Marine is the type of person to be honored as an example of the type of person UW wants to produce.
Ashley Miller feels that there are already too many monuments to rich white men.
Just lovely.

Oh my gosh, I heard it this afternoon on Michael Medved. I was finishing dinner watching Fox news when they did the story and I wondered if you'd heard it...cause I knew you'd be infuriated...and you are. I'd like to say who wouldn't be...but apparently there are people in this world who are NOT being taught anything resembling history, or reality.
I agree with you and mary*ann, of course. I just think there are tons of people, old and young, who live in this country, but don't live in the real world. I don't know why (you'd think I'd be used to it), but I'm always astonished when I hear something like this. They are total idiots, and not even useful ones at that!
If you go to discoverthenetwork.org you will find there is a heavy infiltration of socialism on the college campuses and they are generally behind this. I checked and this college isn't listed. Of course they aren't finished adding all their info. But it could also be they are acting independently for the reasons they haave given. A pity. Their loss!
