Actually, I already laid out a bunch of much more interesting questions, basically as the purpose of the post. Not as talking points or for argument's sake, but trying to figure things out.

Intimidation, hazing, politics, religion, minority rights, money, student conduct violations, hate crimes, tyranny? And who's the victim, who's the villain, who's the governing authority, and if there were any actual crimes committed here (hate or otherwise) can you make the case without making it worse in the process?

What would be justice, what would be a miscarriage, what would be a dangerous precedent? Is higher education still on the students' side at least, or would that be bad business, now that even public universities are jockeying for money, clout, reputation and growth any way they can get it?

Maybe puzzling over complex questions of culture is not your style. You do seem to be a fighter, not a thinker.

But yes, I was indeed inviting "educated debate" -- on those questions that particularly interest me, not inviting some Billo and Hannity up-against-the-wall interrogation instead. (They're both Catholic too, right? Billo once said the majority of SCOTUS is too, true? Add two Jews, one fancy Catholic -- Episcopalian -- and one nondescript Protestant in a pear tree, and whose religion is being persecuted by secular authority again? Hmmm, so many questions!)

But thanks for playing. . . [buzzer sounds, trap door opens]
