Harvard House Forced To Scrap 1950s Theme For Formal Dance Because, RACISM!

Because that’s the ONLY thing the 1950s is known for. Lemme tell ya…

According to this, Harvard’s Adams House voted to make the theme of an upcoming formal dance “The 1950s.” But because we have to see racial overtones in every stupid thing nowadays, people freaked out and started sending emails complaining about it.

The outrage began after the notes and minutes from the Adams House Committee open meeting were released. Students began responding to the e-mail voicing concern over the 1950s theme.

Several students reacted harshly to the announcement saying, “Will there be a separate water fountain for us at the formal?” Other students chimed in asking, “Are we even allowed to buy tickets? Or are we only allowed in as serving staff?” Some went even further, alleging more injustices, such as, “What sort of quotas will be in place for Asians entering/emigrating into the house? What is the policy on communists?”

Only at an Ivy League school would they be concerned about the rights of communists.

Rather than be accused of sending Harvard “back to the 1950s” (which is liberal-progressive-speak for “I can’t get my way and people are being critical of me and where’s my trigger warning??”), Adams House instead called the dance a “Sock Hop.” Which, going by the attendance numbers as well as the diversity of those who attended, seemed to go over well. Even though a “Sock Hop” is basically the same as a “1950s-Themed Dance.” But saying you’re sending society “back to the Sock Hop era” doesn’t have quite the same Cult of Social Justice accusatory ring to it. It just sounds like you’re trying to free a bunch of house elves.

Yet another example of people –

• Not understanding history at all.
• Getting their precious feelings hurt.
• Whining about it and holding the majority opinion hostage.

In other words – another day on a college campus.

You know, if they’d been really creative, they could have called it the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance and recreated the “Johnny B. Goode” scene from Back to the Future –

Why am I the only one coming up with these things, anyway?
