The idea that the very organizations designed to promote critical thinking and broaden horizons are the primary place where open inquiry is stifled doesn't seem to bother the leftists who enact these codes.

I always showed up to school dressed as some young white kid too hung over to participate in class. I never had any complaints.

Free speech only applies to the government. That is the reason city-data mods can delete your posts (private website).

As a second generation Mexican Latino my fellow beaners need to lighten up. And you White liberal guilt ridden activists need to sit in the back of the bus for a while and chill the **** out.

Is Penn State not a government institution?

It's called yelling fire in a crowded theater.

The administration should boot the braintrusts of this idea from the school to send a message. The rest (including the sorority) should be placed on some type of probation.

I don't watch SNL but I do watch the Daily Show religiously, so I was wondering if you could point to a racially insensitive skit much less a racist one that Stewart and company has ever performed because I can't think of one.

At first I thought it was no big deal, just a bunch of young people in sobreros (sp?) and thought they were on a trip to Mexico or something but then I came back today and read the posters. Why on earth would they do that? That was very stupid of them.

Gosh, I wonder which skits one could be referencing... Hmmm

LOL! Do you think that it is by chance that their cast is made up of a Jew as a host, a black male and female, a middle-eastern man, and a Latino as their "correspondents?"

they do that so they can make these same sort of racial, ethnic, sexist, etc, jokes under the protection of "well a black guy made fun of a black guy...and we're liberals, so you can't touch us...na na na boo boo!!"

There's a reason why racial and ethnic humor has become so mainstream, it is because it's humorously taboo in nature, and if someone could withdrawal the parking cone from their ass, they could have a good laugh, too.

You are correct. The TV show 'South Park' exploits it and gets away with it all the time.
