Read a Book, Get Charged with Racial Harassment

Just think what kind of trouble he would be in now if he had been caught playing “hangman” on his computer, instead of reading a book about the KKK.

I think that the book reading student has a substantial case for a legal tort against IU for racial harassment. If nothing else, his attorney could compel the affirmative action officer to clearly state university policies about racial harassment for the record.

The lawsuit should be filed against both her, as an individual and IU, for violating their own policies to engage in racial oppression.

Since the case would be heard by a jury, this might prove very interesting.

Do you think that, had he been caught reading a Batman comic, they would have accused him of supporting white-faced mass murderers?

undergraduate and graduate degrees from Indiana University in Urban Studies, Counseling and College Student Personnel.

Now there's a real skill set for you. But can she speak and write English.

a more obscure group called the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

The "more obscure" group has been a mainstay of the fight against this kind of fascist leftwing oppression on campuses across the land. FIRE deserves support and anyone seeking a cause to spend a few bucks on will be well-rewarded by sending it to them.

They have been especially effective in shutting down the Nazi-like "speech codes" at hellholes like Brown Unversity and U of Delaware.

Now there's a real skill set for you. But can she speak and write English.

I'll bet the English that she writes is larded with jargon and is otherwise substandard. Since she has shown by her actions that she is not given to critical thinking, it would be very unusual to see a high level of English proficiency. See Richard Mitchell's The Graves of Academe for more insight into the peculiar mindset and mental limitations of educrats.

“The GOP simply represents it current constituents. Soft weak spined fearful feminized white folks.”

That’ll leave a mark!

I defy anyone to find an institute of higher learning that isn't completely obsessed with this worthless, damaging b.s.

Hillsdale College. No federal money, therefore no federal strings atached. Therefore, able to teach actual real stuff without the PC disease.

I think Mr. Sampson's next book should be Fahrenheit 451.

Here's a quote: "When Mrs. Bowles rejects Montag's "poetry lesson," the fireman can restrain himself no longer. He tells her, 'Go home and think of your first husband divorced and your second husband killed in a jet and your third husband blowing his brains out, go home and think of the dozen abortions you've had, go home and think of that and your damn Caesarian sections, too, and your children who hate your guts! Go home and think how it all happened and what did you ever do to stop it?' "

My God! It must be the death penalty for reading Mandingo.

Funny how it's always the Leftists who are into book burning/banning.

I think there is only one word to say about this:

Praise for Notre Dame vs. the Klan

An author of fiction could not create a more dramatic duel than the little known 1924 clash of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Todd Tucker's work painstakingly describes a dark chapter in Indiana's history when the governor of the state was an acknowledged Klansman and the Klan boasted 350,000 Indiana members. Notre Dame students faced this formidable foe with the same courage and fortitude that has made their football team the stuff of legends. This fascinating history remains relevant today as the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan spews its hatred from its headquarters in nearby Osceola, only miles from the Notre Dame campus.

What book was it? Important info. When I was an E-5 and aboard ship, I was continually harassed by the “master-at arms” for reading a book in the chow line. He wrote me up for disobeying a direct order and when we went to Captain’s Mast I found out he couldn’t read and that’s why he harassed me. Charge was dismissed and the E-6 was busted to E-5 and directed to learn to read. Don’t know if he ever did. Moral of the story...people who harass you for reading are generally stupid. And dangerous if in a position of Authority.

Point taken, even though Hillsdale is a Liberal Arts college, it is not yet infected by this disease by virtue of it’s refusal to take Federal money.

Now if every institute of higher learning was forced to operate in a free marketplace (eliminate the subsidies), I dare say this garbage would be entirely eliminated.

It's how it is.

I'm 50 and I go to my son's baseball here in Nashville and most of what I see are cracker sheeple and painfully soft males under 40.

I feel like that French guy in the famous photo of the Nazis marching down the Camps Des Elysee's

Uungaawah!!

The book was “Knight's Cross, a Biography of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel”. Some were upset that I was reading a book about a German general from WWII.

Funny thing was, one of the Jewish guys from work thought it was an interesting read, and we would talk about it. But some thought it wasn't appropriate for a multi ethnic work environment.
