A professor at Kansas was recently for dropping the n-word. Just for clarification she did not call anyone a ________. What she said was she has not seen the word written or spray painted on the walls at KU (in response to questions of racism on campus).

Saying that word in any capacity is the only unforgivable action imo. Saying it in any context should be grounds for impalement.

There is a black prof at Penn? who called Ben Carson "Coon" of the year.

That's not racist.

I guess nobody reads "Huckleberry Finn" in class.

Actually, I wonder when the "offended" class will start burning "Huck" and Joseph Conrad's great works.

We should be able to say the N-word as much as we want. GTS, please take the N-word off of the banned word list.

There's actually a new edition out that removes the word from Huck Finn.

Her husband is a hyper-liberal who posts at Any Given Saturday. I hope it is instructive for he and his wife to be getting a dose of their own medicine.

That's "Syntax Error's" wife?

All I can say is those 11 who signed the petition are a bunch of losers.

Oh my goodness.

This hyper-sensitivity, "safe place" yowls of "hostile environment" crap has now spread into the upper echelons of higher Ed.

This wasn't a classroom of dopey 18 yo kids out of their Mommy nest for the first time, these are Grad school level "students".

Good grief. Grad school and above should be about exploring all KINDS of stuff that might make you a wee uncomfy, maybe shake your belief system a bit, may challenge your worldview and make you defend it.

Waaaaaa!!!! She said a naughty word!!!

No wonder we're now considering 26 YO Men and Women, "children". Grow the F^$% up. It's a tough world out there.

To tell you the truth I'm not even offended anymore. If other people are I'll understand but that's on them. Deny me a job or entrance to a place (in a literal or metaphoical sense) based on race and we'll have more issues.

Dafuq is this, 1970's Alabama throughout society?
