[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think college students should show moral outrage whenever another college student tells someone s/he disagrees with to shut the fuck up?  Or is it just when they tell authority figures to STFU?  [/quote]

Have you watched that video?  That girl could probably be arrested for assault -- she escalates her profanities as she removes her backpack and  looks like she's getting ready for a physical confrontation.  It is way, way beyond anything remotely justifiable.  And what set her off? Why did she explode?  Because after she explained her position the first time the Prof said these two words very calmly, "I disagree."   Watch it -- that is what happened.   I have seen employees fired on the sport for less insubordinate behavior. And yes, the position of authority is relevant, but her behavior should warrant disciplinary action whether directed toward a student or teacher.   And have you read the email that the students complained of?  It was balanced, thoughtful, reasonable.  It did not in any way condone offensive costumes.

In total agreement.  The student should be disciplined, and at a minimum suspended for the remainder of the semester.  She is a hostile and threatening presence on campus. [/quote]
