Ouch. I missed that.

And I have say, I also missed the rest of that sentence as well: "We, as young college students, did not grasp the full scoop of the tragedy and it's long lasting effects."

Perhaps they'll take advantage of their time at college to learn some history.

And is it really too much to ask that college students know the difference between "it's" and "its"? I guess it is when too many lawyers don't seem to know the difference.

If you want to advocate picketing the DKE house, Christ be with you. If you want to advocate LSU yanking their recognition to punish them? I'm not so sure that's an option LSU has for something like this.
Has anyone in this thread suggested anything like yanking their recognition? If they did, I missed it.

The problem I have is when people throw out the "freedom of speech" mantra as though it means "freedom from criticism." No doubt the chapter has freedom of speech, and I'd be the first to say that schools, especially public schools, shouldn't be in the business of censoring or punishing students for their speech. But that hardly means that the rest of us can't call something stupid and tasteless when it is.

The LSU DKEs are free to say idiotic things and we are free to call them idiots. Everybody wins!
