[sonofdaxjones]

How is commenting that certain academic types don't live in the real world anti-intelligence?   LOL, absurd.

I think job title is fair game but if you mention the institution you work for then your workplace should be able to dictate their own policy.  That should go for someone working at a gas station same as someone working at K-State.

K-S-U cracks me up: "Freedom of speech for state employees?  Who cares, doesn't matter."  "THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE THE KOCH BROTHERS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OMG! TYRANNY!!!"

I don't think I ever said anything like that about the Kochs. I have noted, on several occasions, how strange it is that the libtards have turned the Kochs into conservative bogeymen when they're actual libertarians. They have the same views on crony capitalism as the OWS crowd.

I could gaf,  but you have def made the direct comparison of campaign contribution to freedom of speech.  More than once.

Oh sure, I definitely believe that. I don't think I've ever made that point specifically about the Kochs, but I do agree that freedom of speech includes freedom to spend money on speech.

Bribing people with enrichment to sway the laws in your favor should not be considered free speech, but more of an unfair advantage.

It would be nice to have real solutions that were based off of the merits of ideas.

LOL, at the notion that any money spent on politics is for any reason other than manipulate policy for one's own benefit.  My god

I didn't know "gypped" referred to Gypsies, and now I do. I'd say that was $16k well spent.

was it wasteful?  it's 30 cents or less per student and if it helps avoid even a single lawsuit then wouldn't it be worth it?

[star seed 7]

what's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) is we actually do need to tell students that saying that stuff in a public setting is inappropriate, but the right will fight tooth and nail to keep raghead mommy a everyday term

DNR article, but there's no way the university would be held liable if a student said gypped. If a faculty member did, still no, because no quantifiable money damages.

I suppose if a superior went around saying gypped all day and a subordinate was a gypsy and felt uncomfortable to the point of quitting he could sue, but would still probably lose.

Regardless,  spending $16k per lesson in etymology is an egregious waste of resources. It's hilarious people would defend it.

Well, that's what I get for trying to formulate context from your whimsical posts.

Didn't you just admit you didn't read the article?  And now you're criticizing people for arguing based on conjecture?

No, I opined that the university wouldn't be liable if a student said gypped.
