Submitted via IRC for Runaway1956

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.

    I would just like to say how much I enjoy these submissions from Runaway1956-2626 via Fox News. I do not at all feel dirty and violated by Ailes' attempt to have me perform unnatural acts! And I think that Soylentils can handle right-wing propaganda, even when poor Runaway cannot recognize it as such. Of course, it is only entertainment, and not news, so we need to limit ourselves, or it will become unfunny.
