[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta a love a post that supports free speech by urging the expulsion of students who exercise it![/quote]

This is not about free speech. It is about respect. If you  cannot be in an academic environment without swearing and threatening the staff, then you do not belong there.

I think you mistake liberty for license.[/quote]

I absolutely agree.  The way she screamed at that professor, and the things she said to him, were unacceptable.  In a civil society, we don't do that.  How about a meeting with him to air her grievances instead?  Or is it the attention she was after?  [/quote]In a civil society we don't do that?  Are you serious?  This happens every day in the workplace, on TV political debates, at the checkout in a grocery store, in a restaurant because you didn't like the service, on DCUM where it goes way past uncivil and vile.

I am not sure why you think that student's bad behavior is the face of uncivil behavior.  Turn on your TV sometimes or just look around you.  I guarantee you will find far more contemptible behavior than the loud, boorish tone of that student.[/quote]
