Legacy Fan Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Saw this from a tweet today: "Criticizing racist remarks by frat boys doesn't require much bravery, affirming their right to offend just might" Then linked this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/11/expelled-oklahoma-students-have-an-excellent-chance-of-succeeding-if-they-sue/?postshare=6201426103647533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhite Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 ^ It's the fake outrage and moral crusaders. People in this country are more outraged by drunk lunatics chanting stuff than actual real crime, rape, murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohican Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 offensive speech is not protected per se Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Congress shall make no law Congress shall make no law Congress If you threw the 9th and 10th amendments into the discussion, up until the 1930s and the FDR administration it was commonly understood that the Federal Government could not regulate speech. Or establish a religion. Or prohibit the free exercise of your religion (unless you were Mormon) But the States and their own localities could and did have their own speech codes, and some states for a while, after ratification had official state sanctioned sects of Chrisitanity. Under an original, true Federalist understanding of the Constitution you could realize that Oklahoma could have their own regulations on what constitutes appropriate speech. This is not to approve or disapprove of Oklahoma U's behavior at the top, especially if you balance it against the actions of their scholar athletes in the Oklahoma Sooner football program.....
