The world has officially gone insane. Remember a time when it didn't matter what ANYONE said on a campus radio station?

Oh, and what did the now expelled students say? What is the threshold Bucknell? You answer questions from the press and don't happen to mention what was even said?

To think my ancestor founded your cruddy little overpriced liberal arts cesspool.

My advice to students: Earn your degree online and watch every word you write.

“It’s definitely not something that we want to be known for,”

No, you'd rather be known for your staunch opposition to free speech.

Well, if an inmate from the prison reported it, it had to be something like supporting Darren Wilson or questioning “hands up don’t shoot”

Of course if it were Muslims making anti Semitic comments, denying the Holocaust or blacks cursing out whites in crude terms, or gays demeaning Christians with their colorful language, doubt there would be an issue.

Authorities say they heard about the foul language from someone at a local prison who was listening to the program

Have to wonder both what was said, and why Bucknell is taking tips from the boys at the prison.

some students were using reprehensible, inappropriate, inexcusable language

So what did they say? Neither the article nor the accompanying video informs us.

It is okay for certain groups to offend people though

I doubt that they said that Republicans should be killed.

It’s got to get hectic trying to censor every American in every corner of the nation. Gotta give ‘em credit though, they’re trying.

Colleges have become the worst defenders of free speech and the Constitution and have not been reprimanded as they should be. The PC world keeps glorifying them and they keep trying to get their respect - geez! When are they going to acknowledge that there are always two sides to an issue, not likely I’d imagine! Until the PC police (the news folks, the politicians and the idiots with their partisan issues) go away, it will never happen. We may well end up with censorship by the masses of PC idiots - what a mess that will be - and that mess seems to be growing!

Please teach the Constitution in Grade School as it never seems to become prominent in later years!

Only a captive audience would listen to campus radio.

Has the prisoner who lodged the complaint ever heard any racist comments (from prisoners, visitors, or staff) within the prison walls? Does he report them to the press and the warden?

Did they say we should be more like Ted Kennedy?

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.

“It really goes against all the values of our community here at Bucknell,"

What values are those?

some students were using reprehensible, inappropriate, inexcusable language,” Bucknell Vice President for Communications Andy Hirsch said

What is it about our current situation that gives these simple words such power?
