That’s not how I read it at all. It appears that the post was clearly saying that the president should condemn what was said, but defend the right of the students to say it. Of course, the chant was offensive speech, but offensive speech is included in the First Amendment’s right to free speech. We would not need a First Amendment if it were only intended to protect inoffensive speech. It is precisely BECAUSE it is intended to protect offensive speech that the First Amendment is necessary.
i agree 100% these racists had a right to say whatever they wanted. but i don’t think boren needed to get out there. he didn’t have to say anything, or could limit his statement to, “i condemn they usage of the word, even if they have the right to use it.”
