I wasn't trying to undermine the significance of the situation. Maybe my wording seemed offensive to you because I have been arguing for Gamma Phi Beta's side of the issue.
However, I truly meant that if the intent of the suit and complaint was that the Native Americans were offended, then educating the members on the issue seemed more appropriate than a social sanction.

I think the question was asked prior to my post regarding what consequences should have been enforced? Do you think a social sanction is really justified in this instance? Does that solve the ignorance or insensitivity?

Better wording.

Diversity, tolerance, and sensitivity trainings are not about "political correctness." That's a tongue in cheek approach to education and equality that undermines the importance of such efforts. If someone says "oh I'm being forced to bite my tongue so I won't offend 'those people,'" they aren't taking it seriously and are continuing the way of thinking (and often the behaviors) that they had before the education efforts.
