No More Hula For You


For John, BLUFWill people look back in these days and pity us for our inability to enjoy and celebrate other cultures?  Nothing to see here; just move along.




Here is the sub-headline:

  • The University of South Dakota Student Bar Association faced criticism over a planned "Hawaiian Day" party.
  • The university president has launched an investigation to determine whether free expression policies were violated.

From Campus Reform, by Mississippi Senior Campus Correspondent Adam Sabes, 4 March 2019?

Here is the lede plus three:

The Student Bar Association at the University of South Dakota says it was pressured to change the name of its “Hawaiian Day” party because it violates USD’s policy on inclusiveness.

According to the Argus Leader, a student submitted an essay to the USD law school administration, who then advised the Student Bar Association to change the name of the event.

The SBA changed the name of the event to “Beach Day” and then sent a message to their members stating that the dress code would still be the same, which was floral shirts and leis, according to the report. A second message followed, however, stating that the leis would no longer be part of the event due to complaints by the law school administration surrounding the inclusiveness of the leis.

“It was determined that these are culturally insensitive by the administration after doing research based off of the essay written by the initial complainant,” the message said, according to the report.

I think people should stop vacationing in Hawaii, as it is culturally insensitive.  And no Don Ho music and no Hawaii 5 0 TV Shows.
