Edwird -> RE: Yale Students Demand Removal of White Authors from Curriculum (6/10/2016 10:44:39 AM)

"Today a group of students at Yale walked out of an English modern literature class and pronounced that they were going to boycott whiskey, in protest of 'the fact that one cannot read an English spy novel with out the protagonist in such novels somehow finding himself in an office in the upper floors of a Downing Street building where someone behind the desk pulls out a bottle of whiskey and starts pouring it into two tumblers, in discussing and deciding matters of grave concern to the nation. In many novels, this happens multiple times throughout the day, especially in the midst of deep crisis.'
One student added; 'there was one book, or maybe two or three, where we had to witness Churchill drinking his whisky in the bath tub. As students who only drink beer, or sometimes wine, while in the tub, we find this practice deplorable. It is blatantly anti-German and anti-French, not mention anti-Russian, because of there never being any vodka.'
A local bartender was asked his opinion on the matter. 'What, those kids are bitching about that? That's what they get for taking English lit, all I can say. They should read some Irish lit dudes, like that Joyce guy, or something. That Leo Bloom guy, he was drinking pints the whole morning, day, and night, and it wasn't whiskey. Just good old beer, like they buy here'."
