<p>April 4th represents yet another example of the stupidity that has become an epidemic in American colleges. Earlier <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/atlanta-students-frightened-by-pro-trump-messages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>we reported Emory University students</strong></a> were &#8216;frightened&#8217; by &#8216;Trump 2016&#8217; messages in chalk on the sidewalk.</p>
<p>Indiana University erupted in panic last week when a man in white robes was spotted &ldquo;prowling&rdquo; the streets of Bloomington. The rosary beads at his hip were mistaken for a whip, causing passersby to assume he was a KKK klansmember. ;</p>
<p>Concerned students took to Facebook and Twitter to spread the word with posts like:</p>
<ul>
<li>&ldquo;IU students be careful, there&rsquo;s someone walking around in KKK gear with a whip.&rdquo;</li>
<li>&ldquo;@IUBloomington There&rsquo;s a man walking around campus in a KKK hood carrying a whip and there&rsquo;s NOTHING you can do to make students feel safe?&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<p>Ethan Gill, a resident assistant (RA) at Eigenmann dorm, sent out a mass email warning students to travel in groups or stay inside. ;&ldquo;Because the person is protected under the first amendment rights, IUPD cannot remove the person from campus unless an act of violence is committed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ethan&#8217;s follow-up email referred to the entire situation as a &ldquo;hilarious miscommunication&rdquo; &#8211; and rightfully so. Turns out, the man was a local priest from St. Paul&rsquo;s walking the campus with his rosary and praying for students. ;</p>
<p>Social media posts quickly ;evolved from concerned and frightened to sarcastic. ;&ldquo;He was praying for our poor souls before Little 500,&rdquo; one student joked. (Little 500 is an annual cycling race at Indiana University that attracts students [and police] from all over the state. The race has evolved into an entire week of missed classes and DUIs.)</p>
<p>While funny, this incident reveals a culture ;inclined to panic. These days, it seems that every race, gender, culture, and religion thinks it is under attack. This ;situation is a prime example of how shockingly naï;ve and sheltered these students really are. ;</p>
<p>What are we teaching kids these days if they can&rsquo;t tell the difference between a KKK klansmember and a priest; a whip and a rosary?</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note</strong>: Like the students at Emory, who were &#8216;frightened&#8217; by &#8216;Trump 2016&#8217; in chalk on the sidewalk, these students are a victim of their own gullibility. This is a second example of students who are so sheltered, poorly prepared, naive and ignorant, they just not ready for college. Its no wonder our kids come out of college brainwashed by ;liberal B.S.</p>
