I don't think hosting a black pride event is the same thing as making a racial slur.

They are not acting as individuals, they are members of one group (a fraternity) and enrolled at another institution ( a university) that have codes of conduct. Singing songs about hanging someone fro

The young men were given wide latitude to make choices. With any choice there is consequence. At least they still have time to learn from this. I knew some wild and crazy SOB's when I was in schoo

This:

By operating like a closed club they were not encouraging discourse or debate, so much as they had stifled any ideas with their prejudice.

What point? That you lack command of the English language?


There is crazy and then there are these guys. The sad part is that they are not crazy, they are just prejudiced SOBs.

I knew some wild and crazy SOB's when I was in school. Never heard any of them say stuff like this. It's not boy's being boys. It's boys being racists. Hope they find time to grow up somewhere along the way.

Political correctness gone mad. People have a right to be idiots. I don't support racism, but are they going to react the same way when a black fraternity, hosts black pride events or plays vulgar music with the same exact word in it. Of course not

Don't be like this Rob Lowe!

:whistle:

Having said that they are entitled to their First Amendment rights and nobody is questioning that. They are free to continue their fraternity elsewhere, just not in the private campus of the university. I'm sure there are several Christian colleges that would welcome them with open arms.

what's your problem with Christians?

It's likely you already know that Christians neither fit the PC mold, nor will they ever fit the PC mold. Christians draw attention to PC things like this. Maybe that's the source of their bellyache.

Actually, none this time around.

I was making a counter point to an erroneous claim that this type of behavior should qualify as critical thinking, therefore belonging in the halls of academia; as though the university should have taken no action.

I don't believe these thugs would have been welcomed at a christian college anymore than at any other institution that abhors hatred and prejudice.

Because christian colleges and universities are commonly known to require their alumni to abide by particular rules. My point was that civil discourse and critical thinking is not a free for all when it comes to private institutions. In fact I don't think these thugs would have been welcomed at a Mormon or Muslim institution either.

The attack on Christians ... continues

If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig

Florida currently has more concealed-carry permit holders than any other state, with 1,269,021 issued as of May 14, 2014

The liberal elite ... know that the people simply cannot be trusted; that they are incapable of just and fair self-government; that left to their own devices, their society will be racist, sexist, homophobic, and inequitable -- and the liberal elite know how to fix things. They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way."
