Va: Just Possessing Derogatory Material now not Allowed

Posted on November 12, 2007

You don’t have to SAY anything at all. A student had apparently printed a famous picture on a sheet of paper showing a white man with his arm around a sobbing black man. In a rather feeble attempt at originality, the photo had been re-captioned: “Slavery Re-instated: Catch yourself a good one.” The intent was humorous, the rather crude humor one often gets from students. It was obviously not any sort of approach to reality

“A racist poster on the campus of Mary Washington University is causing controversy tonight. The controversy prompted about 100 people to march in a unity march today in silence across campus….

It was a famous sports photo that had a racially insensitive caption put on the bottom of it. It was found inside of a freezer here in Jefferson dorm on the Mary Washington Campus. It was found by housekeeping staff on October 15th but it wasn’t until a campus article appeared in early November that school officials found out about it.

Campus police were investigating, but determined the poster didn’t meet the definition of a hate crime because it did not target a specific individual. The student who printed it off the internet was charged with violating university policies…and is facing a hearing from the university judicial review….

Fuller details here. Considering what the Bible says about homosexuals (e.g. Leviticus 20:13), will possessing a Bible be wrong soon?

I consider the PC crowd to be a bunch of foolish acting people and they just strive hard to prove me right. I really hope they are not the majority of Americans or we are in for a lot of trouble. Sadly, they do have a lot of power.
