"'The issue of the inappropriate use of the Peace Pipe as a trophy was not a topic of conversation until October when members of the CMS (Claremont McKenna-Mudd-Scripps) and PP (Pomona-Pitzer) Athletic leadership met with students who are members of our Indigenous Student Alliance (ISA)' ["athletic director" for one or more of the colleges Mike] Sutton said in an email."
The Peace Pipe’s retirement rests on the spiritual context of this religious tradition,” Sutton wrote. “If a group holds an object as sacred whether a pipe, a cross or a menorah, our values here at the college and the other colleges as well lead us to respect that object.”So I guess Harcourt Fenton Mudd College's Fightin' Crucifiers will have to quit giving opposing teams those bloody little crucifixes after games too.
Johnson awkwardly ties this in with Churchill being a lying pig and the schools' alleged hypocrisy for inviting him. Jeez, instead of reading this go ride a bike or dissect a frog or something (I've always been a prescriptivist).
