You have the Oberline Racism hoax where two students (leftist) who pretended to be racist and post poster and graffitt on campus to create a reaction. School officials knew who they were but wanted the national focus and remained silent. They even cancelled classes for a day so they could hold rallies.
Then we have student at Middlebury College destroying a 9/11 memorial because she want to start a dialog about American Imperialism.
Now we have the truth about the Matthew Shepard story of his murder where he was killed by two homophobes - truth he was killed by his gay lover over Meth.

yesterday i went to occupied abenaki territory. i was invited to middlebury college to facilitate a workshop on settler responsibility and decolonization. i walked across this campus whose stone wall structures weigh heavy on the landscape. the history of eugenics, genocide and colonial violence permeate that space so fully like a ghost everywhere descending. it was my understanding that this site is occupying an abenaki burial ground; a sacred site.
walking through the campus i saw thousands of small american flags. tho my natural disdain for the occupying colonial state came to surface, in the quickest moment of decision making, in my heart, i understood that lands where our dead lay must not be desecrated. in my community, we do not pierce the earth. it disturbs the spirits there, it is important for me to respect their presence, their want for rest.
my heart swelled and i knew in my core that thousands of american flags should not penetrate the earth where my abenaki brothers and sisters sleep. we have all survived so much – and as a visitor on their territories i took action to respect them and began pulling up all of the flags.
