Dumb As A Rock

I have a friend who often remarks that only educated people could be so stupid as to <insert stupidity here>.  He would be 100% correct in this instance:

The University of Wisconsin-Madison plans to remove a large rock from campus after students complained that it is a symbol of racism because it was referred to in a local newspaper in 1925 using a word regarded as a racial slur...

According to the State Journal, the 1925 news article is the only known instance of the offensive term being used.

That's right, folks--a boulder is racist.  A boulder's existence causes pain to black students.  Taypayer money will be spent because people used to refer to a boulder in racist terms.

Better make sure none of the stores on campus sells mixed nuts.  Besides the name being kind of toxic masculinity rape-y, wait till some Gen Z'er finds out what people used to call Brazil nuts.
