| #7 Isn't referring to them as 'students of color' racist in itself? It's not like the school sees them as anything else. |

| #5 This article is filled with so much doublethink it makes my head hurt. Its 'inapproprate' to host a bake sale protesting affirmitive action. But its ok to harass participants (by other studends and the faculty), threat them with physical injury (no referral to the anti-harassment policy needed since its being done by the left its ok....). Claims that their policies are non-racist and then in the following paragraph: I find troubling is that the protest was intentionally located across from the universityÂ’s Cultural Center, a place where our students of color organize numerous enriching events for the campus community Isn't referring to them as 'students of color' racist in itself? What has occurred has been another example of political correctness run amok at DePaul. A small group of students engaged in a relatively innocuous public protest of affirmative action and as a result they were investigated for a possible case of harassment, had their organization censured and penalized by the university, were tricked into being subjected to a two hour public bashing at the hands of several faculty members and in front of about a hundred jeering students, were publicly scolded [Transation: Harassed...] for the bake sale by the university president in an email to every member of the DePaul community, were the victims of a crude attempt to falsely brand them as the perpetrators of a nasty incident of racist graffiti and when it they were cleared of this charge the school administration, knowing that this was a hoax, suggested to the media that their bake sale had contributed to the atmosphere that led to the graffiti. |

| #4 Democrats and Liberals are all for free speech, as long as you are saying what they want to hear. If not you are automatically a "racist", a "homophobe", an "islamophobe", some sort of "supremacist", a "Nazi", or oddly enough as it is for libs to use the word, a "Zionist". Free speech works both ways, you can't just restrict it to liberal agenda viewpoints. So, you shouldn't be an islamophobe, but you should come out to block the UAE port deal while your husband receives money for consulting services to Dubai on the very same issue. That's Democrat, that's Liberal skullduggery, and that is the same kind of thinking that perpetuates the need of things like affirmative action. |

| #3 It seems like "free speech" in 2006 means only the ability to say approved, politically correct thoughts. I'm actually dreading sending my future kid to college someday if this is a portent of academia's future. My sweetie didn't get out of Russia to have his kids indoctrinated here in America. |
