It's sad that I'm not surprised to never see the administration cracking down on those students who get violent in response to what is, essentially, a peaceful political protest.

"it was the hostile environment created by the Young Conservatives"

Hostile environment? How about blaming the liberals who responded with violence to a peaceful demonstration.

Thor Halvorssen, CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. "... would never censor a group of students holding a peaceful protest in favor of affirmative action." [sic]

If quoted accurately, affiliating this guy's name with anything related to 'education' is a disgrace.

You can't "protest in favor" of anything. Maybe he meant to say 'demonstrate.'

To protest MEANS to be against. Obviously, ol' Thor seems more interested in "rights" than he is in "education."

In a letter responding to the melee, Board of Regents President Jerry Grinstein expressed disappointment with the sale.

"The statements of the UW College Republicans in putting on a bake sale about affirmative action were tasteless, divisive and hurtful to many members of the university community,"

You will notice he didn't say the statements by UW College Republicans were untrue

Rose, a 20-year-old junior majoring in American Ethnic Studies, backs up the university's account.

Well, Bobby, where do you plan to work with a degree like that?

"I think it's important to note that freedom of expression was not the issue....

Of course not. Freedom of expression is not allowed on college campuses.

Free Speech includes the right to exercise it badly, Skippy.
Additionally, from what I know of Fire's activities, I am prepard to overlook a few grammatical imperfections on the part of Mr. Halverson.
