The school sent out a reminder for students to please not wear offensive costumes, like black-face, or the like. The teacher, in the spirit of freedom of expression, emailed her students with, a hey, wear whatever you want. The resulting brouhaha culminated in her resignation. I am all for freedom of expression, and

People will get outraged by many, many things. I do not believe that every offended student should have their whims catered to. I do believe that people should feel like they have a voice in their education. All things should up for discussion in college. That is the place where you get to discuss and debate and

According to the 1st amendment, you have the protected right to practice your religion. That does not mean you have the right to force your beliefs on others, ever. We have had this freedom since the inception of our country, and you do not get to change the rules. Please see the 14th amendment if you are confused

Also Minnesotan here. People are very surprised that I do not sound like the people from Fargo. Her accent is just so bizarre. Like she is trying to be down-home, salt of the earth, and she comes up with what people think Midwesterners sound like. Only more nasal, and I didn’t even know that was possible. I meant no

Hi! I get what you are saying and I am glad that you keep an open mind to perspectives other than your own. I have friends with PTSD, as maybe you do too. I don't know how comfortable I am with equating that with a physical disability, but I do know that before I go with my friends to a movie or a play, I need to

I never should have made fun of my mom for wearing trendy 70s & 80s clothing. Buzzfeed keeps showing my pictures of what I LOVED and wore 10-15 years ago, and the karma is killing me. Baby doll dresses, lingerie as outerwear, chokers, square-toed shoes, and sparkly shit. Yuck.

If the Native Americans that she represents want her to take a DNA test, fine. Since their reps don't seem to be clamoring for proof, maybe let it go shiny ex-model white boy who has had privilege and opportunity showered upon him for his mere existence.

I was first made aware of Manziel when his shirtless mug shot appeared on Dr. Saturday. Then, all of a sudden, this dopey kid was the starting QB, then he was good! Then he beat Alabama! AJ McCarron was crying on the sideline like a beauty queen! I was ecstatic! Then, hello Heisman! I was fascinated by his trajectory.

America loves a human trainwreck. I want her to go away. Her stupid, affected accent (Where is she from? Minnesconsin?), her incomprehensible speeches, her constant stream of BS and hypocrisy are so tiring.

I almost used that. Almost. It is, by far, the most appropriate word. :)

This needs more stars. Immigration policies and whining about far-away bureaucrats from the people who set up 'White only' areas of Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Oh fair lady. I am so sorry. How frustrating for you. I, too, am trying to recover from crippling medical debt. I keep thinking that real grown-ups my age have houses and families by now. It seems sometimes to me, that the only people who are doing just fine are free from the burdens of human compassion or a moral

I don’t think of Schefter so much as a journalist, as I do of him as a band-wagon jumping, stooge. He thinks he's a journalist. Ok.

How could she resist this drunken, beautiful oaf of a man? I bet he would be real nice, only paw at her a little, and pass out after about 60 seconds of him trying to get it up. Who wouldn't want his hot, disgusting breath in their face?

I feel ya. I lost two of my favorite people to cancer. Yet I look at these creatures who are filled with bile and hate, and use their privilege and power to treat others like shit, and I want them to die of stomach cancer. I wasn't raised to be like this, but here I am.

Sorry you had to deal with that BS. A friend of a friend's husband just had a psychotic break. For years he has been a great guy, great dad, great husband, and now he refuses his meds and threatens to kill her. Circumstances and people change, domestic violence victims do not ask for this, people. "Why doesn't she

This old, gray man is cartoonishly villainous. This generation of crazy bigots who are hardliners and 'tough on crime' are responsible for the state we are in. They need to retire or die off before they bring the rest of us to the brink of anarchy.

How could anyone listen to Texas's argument and think, "Well, that's rational." RBG asked what Texan women who lost their abortion provider would have to do if they needed constitutionally protected care, and the Texas attorney said, "They can go to New Mexico." They don't have these BS restrictions in New Mexico, but

Lady, the DOJ and Supreme court had to intervene to protect the people of Arizona because you and Joe want to turn it into East Germany for brown people. Love is a verb. If you loved anyone of any persuasion or color other than your own, as their elected advocate, you would attempt to pass legislation that is in the

Into Thin Air, is great. Can you imagine if it had been marketed as journey of self-discovery? Her experience involved at least as much peril. Her story exposes, from her point of view, how a part of a deeply shrouded country operates. How is this different from Krakauer? He was in constant danger and he exposed a lot
