Defending the Worst of Free Speech!
The First Amendment does not make
exceptions for hate speech. So when University of Oklahoma President David
Boren decided to expel two students and ban the campus chapter of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, he did nothing less than violate the Bill of Rights. To see the move
cheered by the majority of Americans shows just how quick we are to abandon our
core principles for the sake of good intentions. Was there anyone who didn’t
cringe when they saw the video? A bunch of idiotic frat boys singing a racist
song about how they would never allow a n****r into their exclusive club? Are
you serious? Liberals are willing to stretch the definition of racism beyond
the breaking point when they want to, but they didn’t have to stretch too far
this time. It was disgusting, ignorant, and worthy of universal condemnation.
But that’s about all. No one was hurt. No one had their civil rights violated.
No laws were broken. Had the university left the matter alone, the frat would
have probably closed within a year. Who would join it? But, eager to prove
themselves a racist-free zone, the school instead decided to snap the
Constitution in half. Even the ACLU, a collection of lawyers always eager to
favor liberalism over true constitutional protection, has been forced to weigh
in on the side of SAE!
