What should the bullseye be though?[/QUOTE]
you probably googled a few keywords and chose an article because you knew it would stir the most controversy. Hence why the source for this is some tiny local news site. Also probably means you're running out of articles to post.
Also, a school team in my town is called the Crusaders.

You really think I just sit on google every day typing in, "SJW.... Political Correctness...... Trump Supporter beaten up..... Leftist fail...." and pray I get a catch of the day?

the other option is that you go to a website where people already compile these stories.

Well I would say you made a far more educated guess this time.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;51787787]I bet you'd be up in arms if an Islamic school chose "Jihadis" as their mascot.[/QUOTE]
It wouldn't necessarily matter to me, but there's one big difference between the two. A "Crusader" explicitly refers to a worrier in the Crusades, a morally gray time period with both good and bad. They started off, for example, as a response to Islamic aggression into Europe (in Spain, Italy, and Anatolia). This response was not inherently bad. Jihad doesn't have this clear reference. There are the Jihadis of Muhammad, expanding the early Islamic empire against tribal leaders, and there are the more modern Jihadis like those in the wars against Israel.
Is the Islamic school referring to traditional idea of being a warrior for the classical Islamic empire or are they referring to a modern Jihadi? If they don't recognize a difference between the two, then I would have a problem. If they did, then it wouldn't bother me.

Hey, you landed a bullseye for this one.
Though to be fair, I post alot from what I read on Reuters and DW. Then I peruse 4chan, T_D, and Milo for content that is interesting/sensational/laugh. Occasionally Huffington Post if I need a laugh from the blog section.
And then ofcourse here so that way it evenly balances everything out my right with some left.
I use to go onto Reddit /politics or /news, but that is pathetic what the mod team pulls off alot.
