Reed College Newspaper Stomps all over the Line

<p>Chuy, grow up. If it’s Reed funded, if it says Reed anywhere on the Pamphlette it’s Reed’s problem. If Reed loses applications it’s Reed’s problem. If Reed loses donations it’s Reed’s problems. If Reed gets bashed on this or any other board it’s Reed’s problem. If these “kids” who happened to be of the age of majority worked for me they would have been fired before lunch.</p>

<p>In America you are free to walk up to anyone of any ethnicity, political persuasion or religion and spew any sort of vile crap you want, just don’t act surprised when someone punches you in the mouth (or worse) for doing so. You ARE free to say anything, but it comes with a price legal, social and occasionally financial. </p>

<p>The fact is that Reed College is answerable. If it weren’t why is the President apologizing to Lewis & Clark? If it’s not Reed’s problem why is the administration responding at all? Those idiots are free to publish whatever garbage they like but they aren’t free to drag Reed through the mud with them. Failure to censure implies tolerance of the position. If they want to be jerks let them spend their own money publishing and distributing their “humor”.</p>
