Ya Think?


"I am sure you see the absurdity of a university threatening an employee with discipline for reading a scholarly work that deals with the efforts of Notre Dame students in the 1920s to fight the KKK," American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana attorney Ken Falk said in a letter to an IUPUI lawyer.

The irony is, with all that education...they don't.

It takes the fall out from an article in the Wall Street Journal months later to force the "apology".

From the article,

"You used extremely poor judgment by insisting on openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of your black co-workers," Lillian Charleston wrote in a letter to Sampson.

First off, that statement of "extremely poor judgment" is a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black. Most importantly, using the term "black co-workers" can be construed as racist. Your co-workers are your co-workers melanin content not withstanding.

Get yourself fitted for a sheet and hood, Lillian Charleston. Dumbass.
