The Wall Street Journal on its Taste page today covers the brewing controversy over the Univ. of North Dakota mascot. Our own President Saigo has made it a cornerstone of his presidency to stop the use of these Native American mascots, even when it turns out the schools using them were founded by Native America.

"But I believe that if only a fraction are offended or feel degraded by the practice -- 23 percent according to the survey -- that's still thousands of individuals, and their point of view should be taken seriously. Remember Dr. Martin Luther King's famous quote: 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' " If one wants to know why SCSU panders to each and every small grievance, this statement might be the simulacrum that exposes the reason.
