Acacia at Ohio U Sings Offensive Song, Gets Suspended

We have become a nation of the offended. I suspect that our founding fathers never envisioned a society so whipped into submission that common sense became uncommon. The current brand of political correctness goes far beyond the rules of civility and common courtesy into a realm which elevates the parts of our species which would never have survived the processes of evolution and natural selection. Rights are far more important than feelings.

I agree. Of course, I'm evil enough to think that, if you're in college, you shouldn't need a "safe zone" outside one of your own making.
