TALES OF THE IVY LEAGUE – AT 10:06 A.M. ET:  It gets worse and worse in America's "elite" colleges, which are busy preparing their students to be children.  From the Daily Caller: 

Another ridiculous politically-correct brouhaha has broken out at Dartmouth College, America’s most hopelessly and disturbingly fragile Ivy League school.

This time, the fracas is over a fundraiser for cardiac care that the Phi Delta Alpha fraternity and the Alpha Phi sorority had planned to jointly sponsor, reports Campus Reform.

Problems arose because a single student, junior Daniela Hernandez, was offended by the party’s theme of “Phiesta.”

As a result, the soiree, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been canceled by the presidents of the respective Greek organizations.

Had the party happened, it would have included a live band as well as virgin piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris. There would also have been burritos, chips and salsa, and guacamole.

The cash raised at the event would have gone to benefit cardiac treatments.

However, Hernandez’s deep offense about racial insensitivity was enough to call it off.

The self-proclaimed “Mexican-born, United-States-raised, first-generation woman of color” declared in an angry email that “there are various problematic structures and ideologies regarding a Cinco de Mayo-inspired event,” according to Campus Reform.

COMMENT:  Perhaps the "Mexican-born, United-States-raised, first-generation woman of color" should seek out some poor heart patients and apologize for the funds they won't receive as a result of her adolescent anger.

What is outrageous is that college "administrators" and "scholars" go right along with this nonsense, effectively turning their institutions of higher education into nursery schools.
