Warshay Is Absolutely Correct!
They can establish all the "Codes" they want, but none can trump the Constitution. The college President is posturing for benefit of his liberal constituency. When he says the Pike National Office is not cooperative, my guess is that means they didn't move immediately to shut down the chapter because a couple of guys did something hurtful and stupid. Typlical: 'we want you to cooperate while we beat you to death for our own political agenda.'
I agree that wearing blackface is hurtful, wrong and stupid. But it's not illegal, and the public university is absolutely prohibited from punishing it as speech. Truth is, it probably wasn't "speech" at all; it was probably just immature and irresponsible horseplay that they thought was funny. The chapter has Black members for goodness sakes! They need to be shaken up because they wear our Pike letters, but I'm not ready to turn them over to those who seem to relish being offended over every real or imagined slight.
