God I miss that place sometimes: that paper has managed to stir up more controversy, and by such honest, insightful debate, then, say, the joke of a student publication that is The Daily at the UW.

Go SCCC!

Now if a student had written an editorial saying Jews were the driving force on the was in Iraq, these same students would be defending it under free speech. In college it's not what you say, but who you say it to. Many Black Student Union's will invite black racists, for example Louis Farrakaun, and proudly call it free speech. Try to have a white speaker with the same attitudes towards blacks- would never happen. At UW there was violence when the Republican group openly questioned affirmative action. Not only aren't you allowed to question affirmative acton, you aren't even allowed to speak of theintimiadtion that will insure if you do. Some groups have more freedom than others by using their anger to overthrow freedom of speech. I'm white, but don't feel entitled to do the same when I'm offended.
