American University Yoga Group Disbands Over Complaints of Cultural Appropriation

“Having my culture represented by an almost entirely white troupe of dancers is incredibly frustrating”

The problems began when a student complained to the school’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion. What a surprise.
 

The Washington Examiner reports:

    Campus yoga group disbands over cultural appropriation complaint

    A yoga club at American University has been shuttered due to a single complaint of cultural appropriation.

    The campus Bhakti Yoga Club invited a non-Indian group to perform the Indian epic “The Ramayana.” This did not sit well with American University student Maya Krishnan, who complained to the President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion.

    Krishnan also wrote an op-ed in the student paper, The Eagle, titled, “Opinion: ‘India Day’ festival and Viva Kultura performance shows that AU’s administration forgets their South Asian students.”

Thanks to identity politics, whatever used to be considered a "tribute" is now considered a hate crime.

The country is being torn apart by these goons, with the tacit approval of Democrats, while Republicans continue to prove themselves to be as useless as ever.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

There goes Taco Tuesdays.
