At first, I thought 'absolutely unbelievable'. However, on reflection, I now just find myself surprised that it took those fuckwits this long to ban the three wise monkeys on the grounds of racism.

To my simple mind, and having spent enough time in court under cross-examination, there's a reasonably good argument here that banning them on the grounds of racism is indeed racist on the basis that they're claiming people of colour might be offended. In other words, does that not mean that they're claiming black people might resemble simians?

If a wealthy African American hires a particularly sharp lawyer, the academics should be quite concerned. I really hope something like that happens and some do-gooder gets torn to shreds. A line needs to be drawn somewhere because this bullshit is getting out of hand.

That's the problem with academics, four-figure IQ yet they don't have the common sense they were born with.

As I said, I really hope some rich African American takes them to the f'ing cleaners!
