Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping, as it's triggering anxiety. Please be mindful!

You can't make this shit up.

I've heard of this before, such as in situations where a speaker or performer might be deaf or hard of hearing. They can't hear the applause, but they can see the hands waving. I've never heard it called "jazz hands" before.

The deaf and hard of hearing can't see people clapping? Seriously?

Doubtless he attends classes wearing a loincloth in order not to offend by appropriating Western customs of dress.

School Cancels ‘American Pride’ Themed Prom After It’s Deemed Not ‘Inclusive’

(EAG News) - Lexington, Massachusetts may have played host to one of the first battles of the American revolution, but 240 years later, “American pride” is considered offensive to the school system.

Students on the dance committee at Lexington High School voted for “American Pride” to be the theme of this year’s prom, which was scheduled to be held April 10.

But administrators overruled that decision, saying it “excludes” other nationalities and canceled the dance.

Only struck me last night: are there still places that sell 'Freedom Fries' instead of 'french fries' out there? That always did give me a chortle.
