As a campus officer he would have at least been able to break it up and note the IDs of the offenders. He also shouldn’t have been reluctant to submit a report when requested, as the story indicates. He wouldn’t have been able to issue blanket arrests but there’s definitely more he could have done beyond lecturing…

these standard do apply to adults in the real world. Most companies would fire or at least discipline any employee that acted like these little bigots.

The thing is, I could get fired if I did something like that away from work, especially if I were wearing a shirt or something else that tied me to the company. Companies reserve the right to fire people just because they might tarnish their image.

In the real world if you said something like this at work you’d get fired.

You think that college=work? I guess that’s a fair analogy, but they weren’t in the classroom when this happened. They were outside at a public area. Are you saying that if you got in a verbal fight with someone in a park, your work would fire you?

In that case, the police were right - unless someone was facing physical threat, they didn’t have cause to do anything - as unpleasant as it may have been.

In some cases, you could be fired or suffer consequences for doing this sort of thing even if you were off hours and not at your employer. A couple of examples spring to mind - if a police officer, even off duty, was caught screaming racial epithets at another person that would likely cause a problem for their…

Colleges often have a code of conduct that students sign when they accept admission. If the code of conduct includes things like “hate speech” or the like, they can absolutely be disciplined.

They weren’t in a public space, they were still on school property. If you were yelling racist things on the property of your employer, you could be fired for that. Yes.

The children they were berated were in high school and are not yet adults. They were there on a school sanctioned trip. I think making sure that they were not verbally abused is something the college would want to investigate.

What the fuuuuuuck. This is like the headline you’d see on a newspaper in a Lifetime movie. Just how? How?

She should release her private speeches if and only if everyone else releases every private speech they’ve ever given. I’m sure there’s shit in her private speeches that can be scrutinized and picked apart. Just like I’m sure there’s shit in everyone else’s private speeches that can be scrutinized and picked apart.

Really? A “pivotal importance”? To the Sanders campaign, maybe. Pretty disappointed that this absurd double-standard is only mentioned in the article as a Clinton campaign talking point. This is a standard that we have never held any politician to before.

Oh no, I’m not talking about this article specifically—I’m talking about the larger dynamic of a lot of people in Hillary’s camp insinuating that all Bernie supporters are sexist until proven otherwise. I’m a passionate feminist, and I routinely call out sexist criticism of Clinton when I hear it (and I did in 2008 as…

Would agree but I need free and unfettered access to all available medical procedures that my doctor and I deem necessary. You know, like men do.

That’s it, that’s all. I was coming here to say the same.

Speaking of requirements, I’d rather change the grooming standards for men to be in line with those for women, rather than have the women mandatorily shave their heads like the men currently do. Lice hasn’t been a widespread problem in the military for a long time, I think it’s safe to let men have some hair. Men’s…

Now that we are “allowed” in combat zones, I agree. Great us as full citizens.

As an attorney I can’t understand (1) the overreaching by the DA to an arena he technically had no jurisdiction (2) why on Earth Cosby would have taken/believed in the deal, unless it was to definitively remove the Fifth Amendment argument for not answering questions in the deposition. If anything Cosby should have…
