Now that, I did NOT know, and is genuinely hilarious.

I noticed it while I was playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse. It was a really weird realization since it's been ages since I watched DBZ or Spongebob and yet I was able to make the connection. Funnily enough, both characters are obsessed with destruction and appear to be incredibly cocky. They are also green.
Muslim, Middle Eastern and North African students at the University of Michigan were successful in their mission to cancel a campus screening of “American Sniper” – claiming the film promotes anti-Muslim rhetoric and made them feel unsafe.
The university had planned on showing the critically-acclaimed film about the life of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle on Friday. Instead, students will be treated to “Paddington” -- a PG rated flick based on the children's book about a stuffed Teddy bear.
Ugh.. people are stupid.
Typical college campus stuff; they have to protest something. Michigan has the largest Muslim population in the U.S. and I'm sure they have a significant presence and voice on the University of Michigan campus. It's a well-known school for Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies. Seems to me it would be better to screen the film and then hold discussions about why or why it is not problematic.
Harvard is in the middle of divestment protests, i.e. I think the students want them to reallocate whatever portion of their ~30 billion dollar endowment that is tied up in fossil fuels. I understand they plan to take over the administration building for a week and prevent the university president from getting into her office.
