I honestly have no idea where to even start with this whole thing. A bar in Portland, OR, hosted a Reparations Happy Hour where "blacks, brown and indigenous people" received $10 from white people who. The event excluded white people.

Prompted by the actions of former quarterback Colin Kaepernick who, in the name of social justice, began taking a knee during the national anthem, the NFL released a new league policy for players during the national anthem. The league will allow players to remain in the locker room during the national anthem, but if a player chooses to appear on the field during the anthem, they're required to stand for the song's duration.

Who knew primary schools were plagued with status symbols? Or that this was even a thing? One British school has banned pencil cases and is outlawing any designer goods that might distinguish one student's property as more expensive than another's.

Saturday, May 12 is the first official Cultural Appreciation Day here at Legal Insurrection.

When I first saw this story, I thought maybe it was a hoax, or at least parody. But apparently it's for real, or at least the campus newspaper The Spectator treats it as being real. It's about my alma mater, Hamilton College, which has seen its share of social justice activism in recent years reflecting a generational faculty shift to the left.  Hamilton is a textbook example of how a relatively small group of left-wing faculty activists can take over an institution, as detailed in our 2012 post, Western Civilization driven off campus at Hamilton College.

Social justice activism is usually associated with higher education. We have documented the campus antics of social justice warriors countless times. But what would happen if you started training children from grades K to 12 to become SJWs? One school system in Minnesota is doing just that, and the results are not good.
