The P.C. sensitivity level is officially and embarrassingly off the charts-- a college BBQ this time

Message from Office of Communications and Public Affairs

An online collegiate website yesterday incorrectly characterized the involvement of Ramapo’s administration in a recent student-organized barbecue that also promoted voter registration and active citizenship. The article stated that student groups at the College were pressured by the administration with cancellation of the barbecue if the marketing was not made more inclusive. This is not true.

We regret that there was confusion around a staff member’s direction to student organizers to broaden the barbecue’s marketing message. This direction, however, did not change the event’s intended goals.

As a matter of fact, the Uncle Sam image in question is routinely used in promotional materials on our campus. Again, the purpose of the barbecue was not affected nor was it ever threatened to be cancelled. In fact, the end result was one that the College desired, over 300 students attended a voter registration drive and civic participation event that all agree was successful.

Please direct inquiries to the Office of Communications and Public Affairs.

Where in what you cited does the Office of Communications deny saying the signs had to be removed or changed? We know the Uncle Sam image had been used in other campus signs, and we know the even was not threatened to be canceled, but that is not the question.

[From the article:]
[When asked why students were told the theme had to be changed, Angela Daidone cited “miscommunication” issues.

Gilson replied to Bischoff Hall assistant residence director Ariana Rivera’s email, asking who requested the change.
“To be honest, I’m not sure,” Rivera wrote. “I think it was administrative. I was told that our advertising was too ‘military and recruitment-oriented,’ because we had the Uncle Sam saying ‘I want you.’ I think?]

It didn't happen, fool.

You're only half right at best
.
And my fault for assuming the headlines in several articles meant what it said when it wrote >>> Student groups at Ramapo College were forced to change the theme of an “American BBQ” because the administration deemed it too “offensive.”

America-themed BBQ 'considered offensive' at Ramapo

So in that article you read >>>

However, on September 14, just two days before the scheduled event, (Assistant Resident Director) Ariana Rivera wrote to Gilson, again, this time regretfully explaining that Bischoff Hall would no longer be co-sponsoring with the CRs because the American theme was “considered offensive.” Rivera subsequently reported that the event would not be entirely cancelled, after all, but that it would have to be a standard BBQ.

“The BBQ did go on as planned, there were American flags and TurboVote was there, and over 300 students attended,” Ramapo Public Relations Specialist Angela Daidone told Campus Reform. “The theme was changed, but there were American flags hanging.”

So technically they were not "forced" to change it, but if they did not they would lose their sponsorship. Coercion. And in the end, the article says they did change the theme. And oh what an OFFENSIVE theme it was. Something high paid college administrators need to waste our money on. It was a picture of Uncle Sam and the caption was “We want you...to come to our BBQ.” Is that even possible they might get politically freaked out over that!!!

But you are half right they did not tell them they had to take the posters down, just change the theme. My error. Still, this is so ridiculous and embarrassing.

Nobody was forced to do anything unpatriotic. Your objection to what took place is foolish.

...
so it came from staff yet they didn't mean it. Right.

Trump may be too late.

It's looking more and more like America does NOT WANT to be great again, ever. Ah well, who was it said that sometimes you have to destroy the village to save it?

Can't you read? I already quoted this from the article >>>

However, on September 14, just two days before the scheduled event, (Assistant Resident Director) Ariana Rivera wrote to Gilson, again, this time regretfully explaining that Bischoff Hall would no longer be co-sponsoring with the CRs because the American theme was “considered offensive.” Rivera subsequently reported that the event would not be entirely cancelled, after all, but that it would have to be a standard BBQ. <<< That is Coercion --- akin to force.

“The BBQ did go on as planned, there were American flags and TurboVote was there, and over 300 students attended,” Ramapo Public Relations Specialist Angela Daidone told Campus Reform. “The theme was changed, but there were American flags hanging.”

So why did they relent and change the theme if they were not acting upon some outside authority's position?

And who said anything about "unpatriotic?" You call me a fool, what do you call those administrators? The are enormous cowards and the bane of America.

The funny thing is that these poor little delicate snowflakes come out with goofy stuff so often, it easily could be true, and no one would be surprised.

Well, by "funny" I mean "funny" in a sad way.
.

Which snowflakes would that be?

That would be all you safe space residents.

Seeing how it's New Jersey someone was offended because the picante sauce was made in New York City.

Rightfully so.
