Geeze, when are these kids going to learn. You can only make fun of white Christian men. Nascar lovers a plus.
I couldn’t locate the original comic strip online, just the editorial board’s apology here:

And when you give someone else the power to define "hate" hence control over you and your actions, you are lost.
There's a difference between poor taste and "hate".
No, that is Woody Woodpecker in drag.
an old joke that no one remembers anymore, “How do you make a fruit cordial?” “How?” “Be nice to him.”
Maybe N.D. would have appreciated the cartoon more if it was, “what’s the fastest way to turn a fetus into a souffle?”
But yet drag queens make fun of women....
Seriously, the cartoon seems in such obviously bad taste (as well as being not at all the kind of humor used in cartoons), that I have to suspect that it’s uproar bait. Probably a professor in gender studies.
That’s a pretty rough caption. Joking about causing brain damage to a homo just because he’s a homo crosses the line for me. I think they’re mentally ill, and their habits are revolting, and they should shut the hell up already, but I don’t see any humor in the suggestion of causing brain injury on top of the underlying disorder.
That makes NO sense at all - even if you take it literally. It is really stupid. And, as a play on words, it's just cruel.
Gays acting like Muslims??
1St Amendment is not just for liberals.
I thought Notre Dame was a private CATHOLIC school. Must not be so any longer, when considering how they support so many anti-Catholic/Christian views of the far left.
In the college campus setting, I can have no problem with the cartoon, as an act of an individual, in the form of a flyer, leaflet, etc., floating from person to person or post to post around campus.
I don’t think it belongs in the official campus newspaper.
The situation usually is that there is only one campus newspaper and even the courts have agreed that monopoly paper, as part of the institution of the college, does not have the fullness of “freedom of the press” as a group of public competing publications have.
For the fullness of those rights, we would need to abolish the “official” campus press and let the students make whatever competing campus newspapers as they chose, on their own dime and on their own time.
With no official press the KKK campus club and the Black Panthers campus club, and the GLTB campus club and the We-hate-the-infidel-sodomite campus club, can all print their own news-sheets with hatever cartoons please them.
Meanwhile, the monopoly campus rag can and should apply a standard that attempts to be an agnostic in areas that may offend - an equal opportunity denier of language that exceeds some limit that is applied equally.
I don’t think a “lynching” cartoon would be accepted by that standard, and neither would this one.
