The Washington The Evergreen State Social Justice Warrior PC Indoctrination Compound Initiative was not put on the ballot in Washington as an Initiative to the Legislature, a type of indirect initiated state statute, on November 6, 2018.
The measure would have renamed The Evergreen State College, located in Olympia, Washington, as The Evergreen State Social Justice Warrior PC Indoctrination Compound. The name would have been displayed on the college's official identifier, logo, seal, and letterhead.[1]
The initiative would have made the college's official motto "Der Böhmer Hat Immer Recht," which is a reference to professor Peter Bohmer.[1][2]
The measure would also have outlined the college seal's design. The measure would have designed the seal as a "circular seal bearing within the likeness of a young anarchist in a brown shirt, hobnailed jack boots, and a black face mask and hood with the figure's right arm raised and extended straight and diagonally upward from the shoulder in a totalitarian salute. The figure must be wearing a black armband bearing the term "ANTIFA." In the figure's left hand, the figure must clutch to its bosom the book "How to Make a Social Justice Warrior." The figure must be depicted in the act of vigorously trampling, with muddy, hobnailed jack boots, upon the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, which must be visibly mangled, torn, and besmirched by these depredations. In the background of the seal to the right, there must be a pile of burning books, with visible titles, including The Holy Bible, The Origin of Species, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, The Gulag Archipelago, and Simon Wiesenthal's "Humor Behind the Iron Curtain." In the background of the seal to the left, there must be a depiction of the current president of the institution, smiling and looking on with approval. Around the seal must appear, in Germanic Gothic font, in a scale that is readily discernible, the institution's new official motto."
The initiative would also have required the governor, treasurer, attorney general, and college's president to each execute a sworn affidavit saying all expenditures for the school would be used to provide services, programs, employment, policies, and activities without distinction to or preference for race, color, caste, or sex.
