Black Lives Matter has taken offense at police saying “Blue Lives Matter” and others who say “All Lives Matter,” but now a Wisconsin school is risking ire by branding a class on environmentalism “Green Lives Matter.”
The course at University of Wisconsin at Green Bay will encourage students to support the “environmental justice movement” by “the merging of civil rights and environmental concerns.” But even Scott Furlong, the dean of social sciences at the school, acknowledged that the class name plays on what has become a loaded term.

also civil rights movements don't "jump the shark"
But "reverse discrimination" and "religious freedom to hate" movements can jump sharks quite easily, and usually do it right off the bat, like the Westburrowing Baptismal group with their "God hates Flags" signs. Oh, and the KKK with their "All Livers Matter" counter-protest signs, too. And, also.
(Where is Sarah Palin? Have you ever seen Sarah and Donald in the same place at the same time? Just curious.)
