Brumar, I wouldn't mind Rutgers University reminding people that all speech has cost and consequences, IF those costs and consequences were applied equally AND justly by the school administration. Equality is obvious. Just look at universities coming down hard upon anti-Muslim rhetoric, but not on anti-Christian rhetoric. It says something when UC Berkeley, for instance, won't allow Bill Maher to come to campus not because of his anti-Christian beliefs, but because of his anti-Muslim beliefs. Just application of consequences is not as obvious, but it is just as important. Let's say someone says some racial slur out of the heat of the moment. The punishment must fit the crime, right? Should the punishment be expulsion? Hundreds of hours of community service and "sensitivity training"? A public shaming of the alleged "racist"? Seems much more harsh than, say, the punishment of a frat boy caught breaking into a women's dorm to steal panties. I personally think breaking-and-entering is a worse crime than some racial slur, but of course the lords of political correctness don't think so. Tenchusatsu
