So at Hamline University – my bad neighbor<\/a> in the Midway – here’s how the hierarchy of un-PC offenses breaks out.<\/p>\n

Commit a gratuitously racist act<\/a>?…<\/p>\n

Hamline University has suspended six players from its football team for donning blackface and body paint to dress up as African tribesmen for an off-campus Halloween party, an incident that has sparked a discussion about racial sensitivity at the St. Paul liberal arts college.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…get a slap on the wrist:<\/p>\n

The six have not been suspended from school but will not be able to play for the rest of the football season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But exercise<\/a> your first amendment right to free speech in defense of your second-amendment right to self-defense<\/a>?<\/p>\n

[Troy] Scheffler received a letter informing him he\u2019d been placed on interim suspension. To be considered for readmittance, he\u2019d have to pay for a psychological evaluation and undergo any treatment deemed necessary, then meet with the dean of students, who would ultimately decide whether Scheffler was fit to return to the university.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, kids – the lesson is this; be a racist all you want, but for goodness’ sake, don’t talk about killing homocidal psychopaths – at least, not in self-defense.<\/p>\n

I’m worried that Hamline’s administration isn’t stable enough to trust around kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
