I read the NYT article about this controversy. So there was 2 incidents of a verbal slur (so could have been just 2 people total involved in slurring). And then the fecal swastika.
I expected a little bit more meat on that bone. Not saying that it shouldn't be systematically addressed. But could you imagine the average high school, how many have had 2 racial slurs uttered? I guess this gets to how one can tell if a culture is broken. |

In other words, I don't think this is just a reaction to a few recent incidents on campus. Last edited by BlueK; 11-09-2015 at 04:22 PM. |

The NYT article didn't paint that picture. I'm not informed on the topic.

Maybe it hasn't made wind in your neck of the woods yet, but there are petitions for the NCAA to ban BYU athletics, over the gay issue.
In the meantime, perhaps others will adopt a similar mindset to "beat the tar out of BYU players." |

That must put you in an odd position, to root for the demise of BYU, given your ultra LDS conservative leanings.

I just got a week-long ban.
You were given a board penalty on 11/10/15 10:30am by El Jefe for a board rules violation related to this post Rule Category: Attack (See rules) Description: "It's touching to see African Americans athletes finally able to leverage their influence to realize their desired outcomes. If you don't like that, go ahead and pay money to watch slow and deceptively fast athletes." Additional Comments: Racist remarks are not tolerated on CougarBoard. You have been given a 7-day penalty. You will not be able to post messages, send boardmails, or use chat or IM until this penalty period is over. |
