At Edgewood College, police are investigating a post-it-note that was deemed a "hate crime" by college officials. The post-it-note says "Suck it up, pussies!" Whoever wrote it also drew a winking, tongue-out smiley face, like this: ;P

OK, so I was a little skeptical of this. It seemed a bit too on-the-nose, but unless someone outright fabricated a message from the "Vice President for Student Development", it's all right there (Occam's razor says it isn't a fabrication). A post-it note saying "Suck it up, pussies!" is a "hate crime" he believes.

Quote:

According to a letter sent out by Vice President for Student Development Tony Chambers, a student at the college started a campaign to let students and others express their feelings about the outcome of the election by placing notes on a table in the commons. One note—bearing the phrase “Suck it up, pussies!”—was placed on the inside window of the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion, eliciting outrage within the traumatized academic community.

So it's OK to write post-it notes expressing your feelings about the election, but write a contrary one and it's a "hate crime". "Hate Crime", what the actual fudge? A post-it note expressing an opinion? Are you so emotionally fragile that you can't handle this???
