You can't say that
Watching the South Park s*** episode last friday night reminded me of this post from Volokh Conspiracy about a University of Leeds professor who got into some trouble when he wasn't playing nice. Apparently he said many unkind things about blacks, females, and other groups.
I guess that's what happens though. Since the University is subsidized by the state, they are free to regulate it as desired. Then again they regulate everything that's private in the same way.
Do we have a "right" to not be offended? Is someone deserving of compensation if they do not like what they hear or are offended by it?
Here's the post.
It also reminds me of a television show that I enjoyed when I was younger.
And a book
