Delaware State University is forbidding its students from throwing
snowballs. School officials say that snowball fights have the potential to
harm those on campus. This “rule” is specifically outlined in the college’s
Division of Student Affairs Student Judicial
Handbook, under the “personal violations” category. (One of this writer’s
favorites). It can be found amongst other violations such as “making threats of
violence or intimidation,” and “being in the bath/shower areas of the opposite
sex,” according to The College Fix. That
can’t be correct. Being in the bath/shower areas of the opposite sex is de
rigueur. All you have to do is say you identify
as a member of the opposite sex. Duh.
But
back to snowballs.
Students
who violate rules in the Student Code of Conduct at the University of Delaware
are subject to disciplinary action under the Student Judicial System. These
reprobates are subject to, but not limited to, penalties such as warnings,
“official” reprimands, community service, fines, disciplinary probation, and
the death penalty, depending on the severity of their indiscretions. (Okay, I
may have added that last one.)
Delaware
State also prohibits the “use [and] possession of water guns, Super Soakers,
etc. on University premises or during university activities.” Students are additionally
forbidden to wear “any item or items with the intention to intimidate,
frighten, assault or harass others on University-owned or controlled property.”
Well, I guess Maxine Waters masks are out of the question.
Almost
every known idea, action and object can now send a progressive into paroxysms
of fear and loathing. If Nerf Super Soakers and snowball fights are outlawed,
anything and everything can be outlawed.
And that is precisely their intent.
