[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even know what to say anymore. If these kids feel that the conditions at Yale are intolerably racist and offensive, I seriously do not know where they will feel "safe" once they leave the cocooned environment of academia. I read the email and am appalled that the author's words are being twisted and mischaracterized the way they are, and that both she and her husband are so completely under fire. Of course Yale, as all universities it seems these days, are cowering and buckling under the emotion-based screaming and ranting and accusations of "RACISM!!!!" I am a liberal - never voted for a republican and never will (unless they miraculously turn around from the insane path they're currently on), but this trend in academia scares the crap out out of me. Maybe Univ of Chicago is the last bastion of sanity. We'll see how long they last tho. [/quote]

And I'm sure you feel that nooses hanging from college trees, nigger scrawled on college walls, swastikas drawn on dorm room doors at othet colleges is simply free expression.  Though, I think much of the email was mischaracterized.

And if you think UChicago would stand for one second for the aforementioned in the name of free expression, you haven't a clue what Chixago stands for.[/quote]

Big differences between nooses and swasitkas, and a college kid wearing an Indian headdress on Halloween. If you can't see the nuance, I think that Chicago's education has failed you.

They'd probably really hate the tomahawk cheer.
