I’m surprised to hear that there are still student run college radio stations. Many of them have been scooped by be the colleges and sold off to other connected interests (sometimes even competing universities).
Did they say we should be more like Ted Kennedy?
“hand up” I hate Obama! and I hardly went to college.
Well, there you go kids and alcohol. Thank god we did not have smart phones and an overly sensitive PC group when I went to college.....
To point out the obvious, anybody stupid enough to do this really doesn’t belong at college.
I have come to the inevitable conclusion that there are far worse things in the world than racism.
What values are those?
What is it about our current situation that gives these simple words such power?
Its not a Constitutional issue, Bucknell is not the government, they can make any rules they want.
However, the fact that administrators reacted to undoubtedly crude, simple language with the extreme measure of expulsion (which, when I went to a Bucknell-like school in a simpler time was nearly impossible) reflects a disorder in the thinking of intellectuals which runs very deep and is implicated in all sorts of problems.
I presume these young scholars insulted blacks in a crude manner. It's most unlikely that making fun, especially drunken fun, of Jews, Mexicans, Asians, PRs or other minorities could have resulted in expulsion.
What is it about blacks, ESPECIALLY about permitting a negative stereotype to bubble to the surface, that provokes such hysteria?
Depends on the participation required for the online course. I had an online Environmental Science course that was taught from a book that used clearly faulty data on global warming. In fact the guy who created the data went to jail in some other country. I wrote an email to the instructor and asked why they were still using this book. The response I got was that yes this class leaned heavily to the left and to make my participation extremely limited.The participation thread by the students, which required three posts per week, also leaned heavily to the left. If you had an opposing point of view you were lambasted by everyone in the thread. So buyer beware. Just because you go online to escape from the left’s indoctrination, make sure the class isn’t all left leaning. I had to pass the Environmental Science class to get my degree.
Im certain that the prison is rife with racess comments
I did in Bryan, TX. They had a Beatles hour and to drum up interest they honored requests for any song pertaining to anything Beatles-related, like solo material, I guess.
I asked for William Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
