Well, only partly, because…
(Campus Reform) Students at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota have cancelled an event to celebrate the end of the year after complaints that bringing a camel on campus could offend those of Middle Eastern cultures.
The “Hump Day†event, put on by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), was supposed to be “a petting zoo type of atmosphere†in which students could hang out and take photos with a live camel. According to Aaron Macke, the group’s advisor, the camel is owned by a local vendor and trained for special events.
But the event was subsequently cancelled after students took to Facebook to proclaim their concerns. The students said they were concerned about the money spent on bringing the camel to campus—around $500—and the implication that it would be racially insensitive to Middle Eastern cultures.
OK, so it was the camel that set these, well, let’s call them batshit crazy moonbats, off. Because camels couldn’t possibly be from areas other than the Mid-East, like, say, Mongolia and China. But, this is the way Leftists operate. Sometimes a camel is just a camel.
BTW, calling teachers sir and ma’am is now sexist.
