Baylor Fraternity suspended for "Insensitive" party

  1. FF, try to grasp this. You, as an individual, have every right to take offense at a multitude of things. Others may not and may find other stuff offensive. It's called the marketplace of ideas.

    What we object to is a government-funded university picking and choosing which speech to censor and which to protect. That is called violating the First Amendment.

    ps. I do find it supremely ironic that supporting a key policy proposal of the President of the United States, ie "build the wall", is apparently considered hate speech at Baylor. So the lesson is, we are not supposed to say anything that might offend those who intend to invade our country illegally. Too bad Baylor was not equally concerned about innocent women who were gang raped by members of its football team.

    Columbus asked them very nicely where the county recorders office was so he could check their title deeds to the property and guess what? They didn't have one. They were nothing but squatters and they got kicked off the land.

    The universities aren't acting on behalf of the government so no its not.

  6. Yes.
    It was good harmless fun by teenagers and sub 22 year olds. Along the exact same lines of a St. Patrick's day party when people "act Irish" and get shit-housed drunk.
    NOTHING DIFFERENT AT ALL except that white Christians aren't protected by the media and liberal gestapo.

  7. Is tone-deafness a family trait?

  9. Only to the extent that I associate with Deplorables in any way. Thanks for asking.
