#1 Why not just move classes for the 'offended parties' to some other location ? Give them the teachers of their kind and forget about them. I reckon even the 'Kentucky' must pique them. Maybe, rename the new building to something like 'Mugabe College Of Learning'.

#5 Just saying -

As reported in the Lexington Herald-Leader, by Greg Kocher, "Kentucky supported Lincoln's efforts to abolish slavery — 111 years late," on 23 February 2013 -- Here's an OMG fact for you: The Kentucky legislature didn't go on record against slavery until 1976 — 111 years after the 13th Amendment prohibiting involuntary servitude became the law of the land.

See Kentucky didn't succeed from the Union in those early days of 1861. In fact, the Kentucky legislature declared Kentucky neutral which didn't stop an invasion of Confederate forces. As such, it was not effected by the Emaciation Proclamation which only applied to states in rebellion. When the 13th Amendment went to the states to be ratified, the position taken by Kentucky pols (and slave owners) was that the act was a taking without compensation. Kentucky became the last state of the union, circa 1865, to get around to ratifying the amendment.

So, maybe these SJWs need to just boycott all of Kentucky?
