are they just trolling now?
Some students at UMass Amherst want the university to change its mascot and seal, which they say are legacies of racism.
The students took part in a nationwide protest to improve conditions for university students. Among the UMass demands are more recruitment of students of color, gender-neutral bathrooms and replacement of the school’s official seal and mascot.
Student organizer Charlotte Kelly says the seal – depicting a Native American holding tools — is offensive.
“We do live in occupied, colonized land,” says Kelly. “This land had been a part of indigenous communities before it became the University of Massachusetts. And for us to be capitalizing and using a Native American figure as our seal seems really hurtful and violent.”

This cartoon is so appropriate. I get a huge kick out of it but especially the outraged baby in the "safe space" - can't stop chuckling.
