Students Sign Petition To Ban ‘Oppressive’ White Stick Figure In ‘Walk’ Signals

In Campus Reform's latest video, Campus Correspondent Ethan Cai asks students at George Washington University if they'd be willing to sign a petition calling for banning the iconic white stick figure in "walk" signals because they are "oppressive."

Most of the students are happy to join the "inclusive" effort.

Part of the reason Campus Reform chose GW for its "offensive" and "oppressive" white walk signal guy petition is because of the students' recent vote to "remove and replace" the university's mascot, George the Colonial, which "is received as extremely offensive not only by students of the University, but the nation and world at large" because it "glorifies the act of systemic oppression," a petition calling for its removal claimed. The measure was passed in March by 54% of the students who voted.

In an attempt to test how deep concerns about "offense" and "oppression" go at GW, Campus Reform went undercover to the university to see if students would sign a new petition, this time calling for the banning of white stick figures in walk signals.

"As we students cross the street, we are told by the symbol of a white man when it is okay to cross," Campus Reform's faux petition reads. "Many students from diverse backgrounds, including individuals of color, gender fluid individuals, and LGBTQA+ individuals, feel oppressed by this." Students who sign the petition are supposedly letting the university know that they "vehemently urge the University to consider changing the crosswalk signs."

The Sun is racist, with its only white light. Earth needs to have a giant prism over it to break it down to the rainbow colors of the spectrum before it hits the eyes of humans.

Time to dismantle the education system. These students are really FREAKING STUPID. Life must be pretty good if this is what they have to worry about. No wonder they support having student loans payed off. They will never be able to get a job to pay!!

Mountains out of mole hills.

I don't care who you marry, who you sleep with, or how you wanna dress. You were Bob, and now you're Stacey... sure. If you look like a man... and I call you he, then you ask me to do otherwise... sure, whatever... I'll try just don't crucify me if I make a mistake.

But this, this is just stupid. It's getting too far. This victim mentality has got to stop.

It's easy to see, the color is bright, it's obviously someone walking. Form and function.

Idiots.
