Shocking
It seems that the University of Regina (That's in Canada for all you UC Santa Cruz History of Consciousness and Community Studies majors) is all in a twitter over a photo of school cheerleaders dressed up as, gasp, cowboys and Indians. The College Fix picked up the story from CBC News (That's in Canada for all you UCSC..... Oh, never mind).

University of Regina president issues apology, says participants will take sensitivity training
......."because treating First Nations and Métis women as a costume objectifies them, and that behaviour, I think, contributes to their dehumanization, which is a larger problem that I think all Canadians need to be concerned about."
A concerned (unmounted) Canadian
This all goes to prove that the Canadian universities are just as wacky as ours down here in the USA.
But those Canadians don't know what shocking really is. Now here is shocking:
Sensitivity training, anyone?
