PJM: When the University of Michigan decided to renovate the century-old Michigan Union building, they thought it would be nice to get some input from students on the direction the renovations should take. In theory, not a bad idea.
Unfortunately, the university forgot this is the outrage generation, and should have expected that a student would express concern that minorities are oppressed by FINISHED WOOD.
People who have too much time on their hands. Enough time to create and pseudo crisis that will focus attention on their lack of performance.
I believe that it’s more about the *Pecker Wood* that’s standing next to the paneling….
If they’re so offended by the masculinity and quietness and tradition of wood paneling why not replace it with wall to wall and floor to ceiling rubber padding and make the inmates (AKA students supposedly) to wear straight jackets? That’s the ticket.
Maybe thatched roofing, stick or mud walls and dirt floors would be more to their liking. Academic idiots !
Hell yeah it’s racist. Everybody knows wood paneling is triggering.
Anyone else sick of this whiny shit coming out of every liberal bastion in America? How bout we give the whiners to the meanest and most sadistic Marine Corps Drill Instructors for about a year, followed by a year in Syria? Let’s start with credentialed college staff members.
Cover it with twelve inches of Styrofoam, install a five hundred ton chiller.
If we’re gonna’ store snowflakes, do it right.
“… they thought it would be nice to get some input from students on the direction the renovations should take. In theory, not a bad idea.”
Of course it’s a bad idea to seek wisdom from children. You are there to teach them, for crying out loud; not the other way around! Besides, you already have their money.
The blind leading the blind wasn’t far enough. Now the fools want to be led by the foolish.
What, are they reminded of the inside of a slave ship, or maybe Uncle Tom’s cabin?
I would say they’ve jumped the shark, but then we’re back to the slave ship again.
Maybe they meant “woodpile” not “wood panel”? Hey now, only trying to help.
This is the result of overmedicating our youth. The millennials are crazier than shit-house rats. I don’t have another possible explanation.
This is quintessential collectivism in the spotlight: the assumption that a post-modern, dialectic, deconstructionist analysis of wood paneled interior decor is TRUTH! that we all should meekly acknowledge in order to be recognized as a member of the hive.
GAAAHHH!
maybe concrete, or brick, or cinder block?
…. no … that would remind the ‘oppressed’ of jail cells
how about …. wallboard or plastered walls?
…. no … remind them of their self-destroyed ghetto
how about …. glass & steel?
…. no … remind them of bars & bullet-proof plexiglass
oh well …. sit in a big giant open-aired bowl … summer, winter, spring & fall
face it … anything that represents civilization is anathema to the milliniots …. make them sit on the soggy ground … just like Hiawatha Warren’s tribe
“Wood!”
“Ach! That sounds so tinny!!”
Same as inhabitants of the wood jungle would be pissed off about the concrete jungle.
Poor thing needs a baby bottle and a Mommy to comfort his needy self.
Wait until the SJW’s see that the place has indoor plumbing
Paint spongebob scenes on it, that’s about their
maturity level.
Teletubbies would be better, along with pictures of Baloney the purple idiot dinosaur. And My Little Ponies.
Corona,
LOL
Monty Python rules!
