I am not racist, anyone who has met me and my wife can easily tell that. However while it may be distasteful that someone has an opinion on race that is put out there I believe that the first amendment still protects the freedom of speech and in extension opinion. The news coverage and the knee jerk reactions are what causes more problems than good. This should have BARELY made local news and never touched national news at all. If it's against the schools code of conduct then punishment should be rendered in accordance with the rules thereof and that is it. If it's not the university should simply keep their lips shut. EVERYONE has made a stupid mistake in the past and get to learn from it. More than likely the girl will be redflagged for life over stupidity.
An excellent point. The media coverage made this a national issue, much like the young guy looking as and smiling at the Native American Hero who was beating on his drum. If we were all suddenly red flagged for stupid things we did in our youth, I'd be so buried in them I'd never be found. Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to go take my Geritol, as I have been so clearly reminded of my advanced years. Now if I can just remember where it is...and what I'm looking for...
