Reply #105: Point well taken...

I get what you're saying, and I suppose at my core I'm conflicted about the first amendment rights issue here, too. I am a staunch supporter of the 1st - I'm a broadcaster, after all. But something in me rebels against giving my tacit approval to the gross display of bigotry, hatred, harassment, judgment and aggressive intolerance, where it is expressly forbidden by the university's rules. I guess if she technically has the right to such behavior, it follows that she has the right to the punishment the university metes out under its existing laws.

On a strictly personal level, the whole thing is appalling to me.
