ITT Tech Boson Under Quarantine and Lock Down - Students and Staff Build Pillow Forts and Blanket Houses


Boson ITT Technical college has been under quarantine and State Police enforced lock down for over a month.  The school initially refused to close and would not refund students tuition when they chose to stay at home and self quarantine.  Over three hundred students and almost sixty faculty  and fifty support staff are in the school's three building campus across from Boson Commons.  

Everyone was initially sleeping on the floor when the State Police arrived and would not let anyone leave.  "We thought it would be for a few days, a week at most," said Dean Philip Jackson.  "Now, some seem to have given up hope of leaving before summer.  Thank goodness we have internet hook-ups like Skype and Zoom to connect with friends and family or loved ones, or, heck even people we hate, we need some connection.  We are going a little stir crazy in these three buildings."


A fun activity that has turned into a strange passion was making 'pillow forts.'  On the first weekend of lock down the school used a large basketball court in the gym to have a little fun and get people's minds off the problem at hand.  Different teams split up an created tents with blankets and colored lights and music was playing.  But, the next day some refused to leave the tents and pillow forts.


There is one wing of the complex that has about two dozen small dorm rooms and students had doubled and tripled and even quadrupled up to sleep in the rooms, but it was not enough for almost 500 people.



Harmless fun in a stressful situation began to turn into primitive territoriality and resource acquisition.  Ostentation 'pleasure tents' attracted fanatical devotees who 'requisition' and 'taxed' nearby pillow forts taking blankets and rugs and pillows.





A 'Social Justice Warrior Wig-Wam even seemed to kidnap the dean when he was invited to a large supper one evening.  President George Bridges did not return to his office were he was sleeping and called his secretary and said in a strained voice that he wanted to spend the night listening to the SJW activists explain their list of 50 demands.



A new competition will be held next weekend to construct 'Blanket and Pillow Safe Space Inclusion Structures' President George Bridges announced as he was flanked at a microphone by two Social Justice enforcers who carried baseball bats.



"The structure will be comprised of geodesic domes connected by blanket tunnels, hidden rooms, and unique themes," according to the event posting. "Each dome is full of surprises about the history of injustice in this country.  We will teach everyone about social justice and inclusion and how to stop mansplaining and white privilege."


Party attendees will be asked to bring clean blankets which will be donated to a local homeless shelter. Please! No COVID-19 infected blankets!

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life. ...

Image
In Boson's only 'fine art' museum, has reportedly found it necessary to warn visitors about a newly opened exhibition of copies of prints by William Blake.   “The art of William Blake contains strong and sometimes challenging imagery, including some depictions of violence and suffering,” the warning says. The placard advises distressed art lovers to seek out museum staff if they require further explanations . The museum regularly 'mirrors' the world renowned Tate Museum in London by displaying high quality copies of whatever the Tate Museum is featuring.   Museum curator Hugh Tate, who is from the UK and claims his cousin works at The Tate, said that museum goers can't tell the difference between a very expensive original graphic art work, and an accurate copy commissioned by the Museum of Find Art.  "So, why pay all the money for the original?" Hugh Tate said.   "If a painting is going to 'change your life,' a faithf...
