Just as UNC reaped what they sowed (in demanding Freshmen read the Koran)

I never knew how that ended. What did they reap?

I just can't believe that this man who calls himself a major university president--the man who has hung these young men and in fact the entire lacrosse team out to dry--would even consider allowing these thugs on campus. I can only guess that his reputation has taken a beating for going so PC, so he is allowing them in to do and say what he would like to say himself. He want Duke's PCness out in the open and on the record. I hope that enrollments sharply drop, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I would be worried about sending a child of mine to a place like that!

Anyone listening to the Major of Durham on Fox, William "Bill" Bell?

He's claiming the Black Panthers will cause no problem, it's their right to be in Durham (true) and that he doesn't anticipate they will be armed.

As he's saying that, Fox is showing pics of some panthers carrying weapons. More burying of heads in the sand from elected officials.

UNC reaped the Muslim crazy who mowed down students. My point being, PC never really accomlishes its mission: it draws calls of discrimination, means-spiritedness etc rather than bringing peace and harmony. It encourages resentment, and the latter, as Nietzsche noted long ago, is the pivot-emotion of the striving-talentless (Friedrich put it a little differently here, to be sure).

The Duke president is doing what he's doing because, quite literally, he has no choice. The U has been so PC for so long, and unambiguously so, that he can only bend over and greet the Panthers; he can quiver about "arms on campus," but that is a side issue.
