In the end the university will pay a high price for its overreaction
American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson said it best:
Yes, the chants were hurtful (though they were done in private and not intended to be shown in public), and yes, slavery and Jim Crow are unique evils in the history of our nation. But we are on a dangerous path.
Back in 1964, the wave of campus activism that eventually turned our universities into left wing bastions was sparked in the name of “free speech.” We have come full circle, and free speech is the last thing that campuses want to defend.
On the other hand do you want to be known for the rest of your life as the guy who sued his school for the right to say "n***er"? What's that going to do to his job opportunities?
