Except that they didn't create that chant on the bus. Those members knew the chant very well. Therefore, all members have had exposure to the chant and have had ample opportunities to do the right thing. The right thing, of course, isn't just stopping the chant but exposing the chapter for the racist bigots that they are. That could start in-house with "hey guys, this is utterly wrong thinking," "we should be very open to pledging any race," "we NEVER use that word or refer to lynching," etc., to full exposure if nothing changed with the first approach.
So, yes, broad brush was definitely the correct response.
