Non-existent Hate Crime Prompts $1 Million Diversity Initiative
21st October 2015
The Daily Caller reports that the University of Delaware is launching a $1 million “diversity” initiative in response to a non-existent hate crime. The “hate crime” consisted of “nooses” supposedly found hanging from a tree on campus. But the police found, and demonstrated through a video, that the alleged nooses were just the remnants of paper lanterns from an earlier campus event.
No matter. One administrator said the mere thought that paper lanterns could have been nooses shows the school has a toxic racial environment. That will be $1 million, please.
‘Do something even if it’s wrong.’ is the ‘progressive’ mantra. If you can do it with taxpayer money, all the better.
