Useful Fools

At a UC Riverside Senate meeting :

the senate also voted to approve a mural [showing Shakespearean actors] to be placed in the Commons. There was some concern voiced by the senate about the contents of the mural.

“I see some pilgrim invaders here,” said Elisa Haro, academic affairs director. “It kind of reminds me of my colonization, and I don’t like that.”
This gal is her own parody!

Other concerns with the mural included the depiction of white cranes, which the senate demanded be changed to color cranes.

We gotta be careful of those racist cranes!

They were also concerned with the lack of a same sex couple depicted, which the artist agreed to add. The senate voted to approve the mural in light of the adjustments being made.

It passed? Without transgendered people? Without noble Native Americans? Without a hammer and sickle? Or maybe these just weren’t mentioned.
