Campus hate crime hoaxes: A best-of list (2015 edition) - The College Fix
Hate crime hoaxes have had another banner year on college campuses.
It’s gotten to the point where most people assume a campus “hate crime” is a hoax unless proven otherwise.
Apparently social justice warriors did not have “Never Cry Wolf” read to them as children.
But in the end the joke is on us, because all too often, administrators are willing to play along when a “hate crime” hits their university.
They agree their campuses are institutionalized racist complexes, and rubber-stamp students’ diversity demands.
November 2015: There’s the time Harvard law school students vandalized portraits of former black professors to prove their campus was racist.
Even though 99 percent of those who have looked into this “hate crime” have agreed it’s not one, the school has still convened a committee to reconsider the law school’s controversial seal, the crest of the former slave-holding Royall family that endowed Harvard’s first law professorship.
Read on. Lots more "hate" intending to foment hate.
