Reports indicate that initial media coverage was misleading, with sources like Snopes clarifying the situation. Additionally, a separate incident at Bowdoin College involved students seeking counseling over classmates wearing sombreros at a tequila-themed party, which some view as an overreaction to cultural insensitivity.

In 1814 there actually was a secession movement in Mass, Conn, and Rhode Island. A federal army was stationed in Albany, presumably to invade if the secession went through. See the "Hartford Convention."
