No, it's not the Babylon Bee. Unfortunately.

Ceremonies limited to 'students of color, international students and LGBTQIA+'

quote:

St. Olaf College in Minnesota plans to host three virtual graduation ceremonies for different groups of minority students, while others must wait until next year to celebrate their completion of college.

“Self-identified domestic students of color, international students and LGBTQIA+ students” at the Minnesota school will receive their own virtual graduation ceremonies at the conclusion of this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, per an administrative email. Meanwhile, graduation for the rest of the class of 2020 has been “rescheduled for a date in late May/early June of 2021,” according to the school's website.

Pretty sure I is intersex, so hermaphrodites.

A is probably asexual, because sure if it's good enough for earthworms why not us.

+ is just a placeholder for any other mental illness not already specified.

Here we go! Since all white people have long lines of family members go to college, their graduations isn’t important.

Didn't know there were so many Black, Hispanic, or Native Lutherans? I bet Martin Luther didn't know either.

Northfield, MN is on my short list of places I would want to retire. Real cool town and beautiful country. It’s a shame they have to be associated with St Olaf

St. Olaf College is a private institution; therefore, it can do what it wants. It is a complete slap in the face to everyone not on their approved grievance list, though. This is the kind of crap that makes me sad for what this country has become.

ETA: Can you just imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC, decided to do something similar, except it was leaving out the queers? The melts would be unforgettable. Bob Jones is a private school, BTW.

I love when things like this happen. We are five years away from 25% of colleges closing. This moves them a little closer.
