Haven’t they ever heard of the first amendment on campus? Why, the ACLU should be banging down the doors. There should be hunger strikes by students because of this. Where is Jesse Jackson? I want to see celebrities. Southern Methodist University has shut down a bake sale that was a protest about an unpopular policy. A bake sale, you heard it right. A bake sale so threatening that it threatents the very foundations of the school.
But there will be no celebrities on that campus, no outraged members of the media banging down the doors. Oh no, not in this case.

The group protesting are Conservatives, and the policy is affirmative action.

There is no such thing as free speech on campus unless you’re a trans-gendered, minority flag-burner from another country who must not be offended, but is free to offend as much as they can.

The sale was organized by the Young Conservatives of Texas, who said it was intended as a protest of affirmative action (search).
A sign said white males had to pay $1 for a cookie. The price was 75 cents for white women, 50 cents for Hispanics and 25 cents for blacks.
Members of the conservative group said they meant no offense and were only trying to protest the use of race or gender as a factor in college admissions.A black student filed a complaint with SMU, saying the sale was offensive. SMU officials said they halted the event after 45 minutes because it created a potentially unsafe situation.
“This was not an issue about free speech,” Tim Moore, director of the SMU student center, said in a story for Thursday’s edition of The Dallas Morning News. “It was really an issue where we had a hostile environment being created.”

A hostile environment? WTF? Its a BAKE SALE. By Conservatives, not WTO protestors who like to burn Starbucks.

Matt Houston, a 19-year-old sophomore, called the group’s price list offensive.
“My reaction was disgust because of the ignorance of some SMU students,” said Houston, who is black. “They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It’s not based on race. It’s based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization.”

What’s the matter, Matt Houston, are you too much of a liberal wussy to be confronted with someone’s opinion? You can’t handle the fact that people would disagree with you? Because they do. You throwing out the mantra that its a “diverse community” is, in my opinion, complete bullshit. It is about race. That is the mathematical formula used in affirmative action. There is no magical tricorder that can measure someone’s hardships in life and award points in a neutral manner. IT IS ABOUT RACE. Rich minorities are still treated preferentially against all but the most overwhelmingly hardshipped caucasians. Now go take a course in Critical Thinking Skills, unless it conflicts with your How to be a Victim major.

Sheesh, sometimes this pirate gets pissed off…
