The offer came after the university’s “chief diversity and inclusion officer,” Sean Huddleston, described the display of the small Confederate flag sticker as a “bias incident.” According to Metrowest Daily News, students filed two “bias reports” within the past month as a result of a student displaying the flag in some way. The most recent bias incident – reported on November 19 – was a report of a student having seen a Confederate flag sticker on another student’s laptop. In an email to students, Huddleston did not declare a ban on displaying the flag, but claimed that it upsets some students. MRCTV obtained the email in which Huddleston wrote: A student reported a bias incident today, in which the image of the Confederate flag was displayed on a laptop. Many of you may be aware that last month we received a Bias Incident involving two other students for a similar issue. Although related in nature, the two incidents involve separate parties. The FSU Bias Protocol and Response Team has been made aware of the incident, and will meet to determine any measures that may be needed to respond to the incident. Our primary goal continues to be to expeditiously address and resolve incidents of bias that impede our progress toward a welcoming and inclusive campus community. “Many see the Confederate flag as an inflammatory symbol of oppression and constant reminder of a dark period in the history of the United States in which slavery was a legal,” Huddleston continued, while “Others may simply view this flag as a symbol of shared southern heritage and in memory of the Civil War.” Huddleston said the flag and other symbols “are not condoned by Framingham State University, as they violate the core values of our institution and not considered consistent with our desire to maintain a safe, respectful and welcoming campus community for all.” He further described “bias incidents” as “situations that may not rise to the level of a criminal act, but still clearly communicate offensive or derogatory behaviors.” Observing that students on campus in general may have suffered a traumatic reaction from seeing an image of the Confederate flag, Huddleston continued, “We recognize that bias incidents are upsetting for the entire campus community, but especially for the target(s) and witness(es) of these incidents.” “It is strongly suggested that anyone impacted by a bias incident find someone to speak with,” he wrote. According to FSU campus newspaper The Gatepost, social-media displayed a mixed reaction to Huddleston’s email: On the popular anonymous social media app Yik Yak, one student said the Confederate flag controversy was “legitimately embarrassing” and “someone is getting in trouble for such stupid bullshit.” Another student disagreed and compared the Confederate flag to the swastika. Adding, “That’s the issue. In case you were somehow still confused in 2015.” One anonymous student posted, “Carry a copy of the constitution tomorrow, see how fast the PC police emails fly.” One student related the bias incident involving the Confederate flag to the Star Wars films. “So if I have a Rebel Alliance wallpaper, am I gonna get reported to the Empire?” Huddleston said the university may hold a campus-wide forum on the history of the Confederate flag, so that students can discuss the reasons why they either defend or reject it. In September, Framingham Patch reported that FSU – a public university – was once again recognized for its “diversity and inclusion” on campus. It received a Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award, which is bestowed on colleges and universities by INSIGHT into Diversity, reportedly the oldest and largest diversity magazine and website in higher education. 
University students in Massachusetts who were upset by an image of a Confederate flag sticker on another student’s laptop were offered counseling services at Framingham State University.

How effing stupid!!!! What a bunch of sissy pansies !!!! Wah, wah, wah, wah,wah, wah, wah,!!! Oh well, they are from Massachusetts Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” - George S. Patton
This is why it's so hard to do satire anymore. It's hard to do parodies when real life is even more absurd.
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
The only absurdity that exists is: yukon is gone and now his homosexual activities are enabled by both MSM and the government. He must be loving his homo bath house existence in Alaska to be so quiet. But, LF has "Roscoe" now ...
The school administration needs to find the offending laptop and cover the flag sticker with a Hammer and Sickle sticker. Or maybe a Che Guevara sticker.
I know. I checked The Onion first, before I posted the article. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Obama sticker is the best! ;)
“someone is getting in trouble for such stupid bullshit.” What a load of wimps. The flag is a part of history and has been used to make a statement about being a rebel or from a particular part of the country for a long time. I wonder would they be so anguished about flying the Daesh flag?
Liberal mad-lib requirements for a hurt-feeling report: “Many see the [fill_in_the_blank] as an inflammatory symbol of oppression and constant reminder of a dark period in the history of [fill_in_the_blank] in which [fill_in_the_blank] was [fill_in_the_blank],” I suggest that university students use the following report to tell on the bad people - www.redonkulas.com/wp-con...013/03/DA-FORM-IMTWF1.pdf
Aren't the 2 related???
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Isn't that the equivalent of the old "political officers"... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Just realized our new "safe zone" thread doesn't have a dieversity and exclusion officer. I'm sure AKA is on it! :) "I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13
I nominate Boris... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
LOL YES! I second the motion. That would send any libs running screaming out of the "safe zone."

“Many see the [Christian cross] as an inflammatory symbol of oppression and constant reminder of a dark period in the history of [Christianity] in which [the Crusades] was [sanctioned],” Huddleston continued, while “Others may simply view this flag as a symbol of shared southern heritage and in memory of the Civil War.”
