hey everyone,
Now this is in reguards to the last posted email about censoring. I'm not sure what classes you have taken but the first amendment right doesn't only apply to government. I can say this because our school just recently had President Bush visit our campus, the SCHOOL not president bush and his advisors, thought that the students were only able to voice out their opinions in a desginated area, which was called oddly enough..."FREE SPEECH zone" now call me retarded but the school may not be the U.S. government but it's still a governing body and therefore can dictate what can and will be said. This holds true for P.C. they are a governing body, that perhaps shouldn't be censoring my right as a citizen to wear and say what i please. As for censoring, this is a matter of censoring, if your teacher, parent, pastor, or any authority figure tells you what to wear, what to say, how to say it, what's vulgar, ect. that's a form of cersorship and i'm sure everyone, not including you, who has posted anything on this forum would agree. The issue here isn't censorship, but weather or not a t-shirt really dismisses sterotypes and helps us greeks out. Although your point is valid it has no real application, bottom line P.C is a governing authority, who, in our university gets funded by student government, who is funded and given a check personally from the school. SO P.C is a part of the university and is therefore a governing body. Although they may be small, in retrospect their still governed by the same principals of any governing body.



IN GREEK UNITY,
silverlee
