Well, now it’s come to this.
Two San Francisco “journalists” (read activists) are taking umbrage at Disneyland’s new Snow White’s Enchanted Wish ride at the famed California theme park.

It seems “journalists” Katie Dowd and Julie Tremaine were appalled by “a kiss he (the prince) gives to her without her consent, while she’s asleep (in the story he thought she was dead, but nevermind that), which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it’s happening.”
In February, I covered the case of the Ivy League school’s rock climbing course.
Per a web archive, the original description went as follows:
Come climb with COE (Cornell Outdoor Education) and take part in the Cornell climbing community! We will introduce you to rock climbing movement and techniques, belaying, equipment, knots, rappelling, and safety at the Lindseth Climbing Center. Courses ensure a high degree of individual attention and a supportive space to explore the vertical world!
Sound good?
Here’s a twist:
We will also talk about BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals and groups in rock climbing.

At Cornell University in upstate New York, a controversial course in rock-climbing has been attracting all of the wrong sorts of attention. It was originally billed as a “BIPOC Rock Climbing” class. In order to sign up for it, you had to “identify” as either “Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color.” In other words, no whites allowed. After the media brought this to the attention of the public the school dropped the race-based restrictions and opened the class up to anyone who wanted to sign up. But the debate is still going on, and as the Free Beacon reports this week, the students who cooked up the idea in the first place are defending it as a way to fight white supremacists or whatever the tagline is supposed to be this week.

Cornell University students expressed support for racial segregation after the school allowed white students to enroll in a rock climbing class originally restricted to minority students.
Cornell first offered BIPOC Rock Climbing in the spring of 2021, exclusively to people who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, or other people of color. The school removed the racial enrollment requirement in response to a
Cornell Daily Sun that segregating the class is a small step toward greater racial equity.
