Social justice activists at a New York high school successfully shut down a production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” after a white student landed a lead role. Protests of the production began when an African-American student quit Ithaca High School’s musical production due to the role of Esmeralda being given to a white classmate.

I guess none of these kids have ever seen "The Wiz".

Move along. No double standard to see here.

No doubt -in the spirit of equal opportunity-they'd be totally OK with a fair haired Caucasian playing Othello...I'm not holding my breath though...

One person's PC BS is another person's astonishment that so-called adults would get their panties in a wad over high school kids doing something stupid. I mean, I am senior citizen and often do something stupid. Unlike high school kids, my brain completed its developmental processes in my early twenties. I have no doubt that these kids will continue doing something stupid when they become adults, just like every other human being on the planet.

Now, if you want something outrageous, check out Nancy Pelosi trying to derail a bi-partisan budget deal over the "Dreamers."

Next bout of stupidity here.

Our football code here, Aussie rules now has a national womens league, the season is short and played before the AFL starts their season late March.

It's being pushed and marketed as expected, personally I can't stand it, that's another matter. There's a TV talk show about the womens league and it's apparently wrong to have male hosts or commentators But it's OK to have women commentators on the main mens league

Dunno, you figure it out

I don't I hope it's knocked from them, they can go without, we did.

Bring back the belt at school I say

It was the slipper in my day, or an old worn plimsoll. One teacher even named all her 'weapons', so you knew what you were in for when she'd threaten to use 'him/her' on you.... lol

I get the biggest laugh that the snowflake generation - doesn't like alternate opinions
and has an entitlement to designer goods / wealth -
when I was a kid , if you got bought a ' Matchbox ' or ' Airfix ' model kit , you were happy for over a week while you made it , or if you read a Comic - and so contented
( I remember ' Action ' and ' Battle Picture Weekly ' from Fleetway - wonderful read )
Yet kids now don't have that - and in my opinion , with the internet and mobile phones have lost far more than they have gained - my biggest laugh , still is 2 dating couples more interested in a phone , than the partner in front of them -
I also remember the 3 day week and the power cuts ( candles were essential ) - you also developed a toughness to mishaps that the current generation don't seem to have

Not to worry, I'm sure a bunch of enterprising "trans" women will put paid to that league soon enough, or maybe not, .01% of the population isn't a big pool to draw on, but once folk see that its profitable to "self-identify" as a woman, that may change.

Steve Martin's 1970's movie "The Jerk" has, like much of Monty Python, became prophecy.
"History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce". - Karl Marx
Even Marx is spinning in his grave as he watches farce repeat itself first as farce, then as history...then as tragedy.

Obviously the male presenters will be distracted by the shapely girls on the field, but female presenters don't have that problem with the mens game 'cos they are all lesbian.

Irony is a beautiful thing. Humor is the best weapon against uptight prigs of all persuasions. But,I don't know what to make of this. The dirty little secret is the prevalence of homosexuality in the male dominant Muslim world.

Can we do some sort of pay-per-view UFC thing featuring alt-right vs antifa? Let 'em use chains and baseball bats on each other with the proceeds going to a charity like the VEF moderators fund.

Maybe we can get al-Qaeda or ISIS to meet in a knife fight with the winners. The winners of these matches get to go home with Grid Girls.

Of course its confusing. It's a woman thing. The only flaw in it is that nobody can be bothered to pay to watch this sort of thing. That's why it will quickly fold without a whimper.

We probably should watch it. But, the Lingerie Football League show just how vicious those bitches are. It's really scary.
