Bad ideas for awards
Earlier this month, Wayne State University decided to stop awarding the “Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media” award.
What does that mean? Well, it means that they actually gave a “Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media” award. Which, to me, is a bigger story than stopping the giving of a “Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media” award.
Earlier this year, she finally retired after catching flack for saying that Israelis should “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home.” To which Konzentrationslager, she didn’t say.
Anyway, she recently defended her comments, then said the Jews were out to get her.
That was finally too much for Wayne State University, which had given the “Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media” award.
What should they replace it with?
Well, how about something that makes just as much sense as a “Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media” award? How about:
- Barack Obama Leadership Award
- Markos Moulitsas Humanitarian Award
- Julian Assange Safe Sex Award
- Keith Olbermann Journalism Award
- Al Gore Science Award
There must be plenty of examples of awards that some liberal institute of higher learning could give. Any other ideas?
