Adam Saleh is a YouTube personality with over a million followers. Today, he claimed he was removed from a Delta Airlines flight for speaking Arabic. Saleh has a history of creating hoaxes, many of them in order to portray Muslims as victims of discrimination. The facts are still coming in, but it's appearing that this at best was a deliberate over-reaction by Saleh for the camera, or at worst an outright hoax he created from the start as he has done before. Either way, Saleh achieved another round of viral video fame, and his video on Twitter has been shared several hundred thousand times.

Just days after the election, two students from Babson College drove a pick-up truck through the campus of nearby Wellesley College flying a Donald Trump flag. Wellesley students made accusations against the young men ranging from spitting to yelling discriminatory slurs. The two were expelled from their fraternity and faced multiple charges, but now it's all over. The Boston Globe reports:
Pro-Trump Babson students cleared in Wellesley incident Babson College has cleared two students of any disciplinary violations stemming from their controversial drive through Wellesley College to celebrate Donald Trump’s victory the day after the presidential election, their lawyers said Monday.

Two operatives from Campus Reform recently visited the campus of the University of Virginia and asked students to sign a petition to ban Christmas for being "non-inclusive." Unsurprisingly, they were able to find people to sign it. From their website:

The folks at MRCTV have created a splendid piece of satire aimed squarely at the "safe space" crowd currently occupying American college campuses. From their website:
MRC Launches ‘Save the Snowflakes’ Campaign Given the devastating emotional and psychological consequences of Donald Trump’s election victory on sensitive, liberal college students – a.k.a., snowflakes – the Media Research Center has launched a special project, “Save The Snowflakes.”
