Black students organized a "Say No to Racism" march and demanded more protection against white-on-black harassment. They blasted the school's president for not apologizing quickly enough for the racial slurs. The school's "Minority Affairs" director demanded that the university establish "programs and procedures" to ensure racial sensitivity and prevent hate crimes. The "Institute for Racial Reconciliation" and the "Committee On Sensitivity and Respect" convened meetings. Activists called for criminally prosecuting the perpetrators under state felony laws or federal hate crime statutes.

This is what I would like to see happen next:

Ole Miss Chancelor Bob Kyatt(sp?) will not permit the kinds of crap that once was the order of the day nor will he put up any new order that will pit races against on another. Of course ther will be those forces that aren't happy with the fact that the chancelor happens to be white.

Sounds appropriate to me.
I have always been of the opinion that the false accusation of any crime should carry the identical punishment as the crime itself.
Too reasonable?
