Our society punishes speech the way every other society has always punished thoughts and speech they don't agree with as a whole-- social ostracism.
In general, the idea of the "themis" of a society is constantly evolving. You just have to be smart enough or at least funny enough to address taboo subjects in a constructive manner.
However, I am not surprised that a girl who feels wearing the exact same outfit as 1000 other young women is the height of the social ladder does not have enough judgment to discern the vagaries of her society before acting.
I get what you are saying, but private speech used to be private. Now so much private speech is either recorded or copied and sent to unintended readers. I get having society ostracize someone for speech they intended to be public, such as something you say at a campaign speech, but punishing private speech that becomes public due to technology is making this world scary to me.

Well, then that would be ironic, no? The ingrained judgmental attitude coming back to seriously bite you in the arse.

It's quite possible it was an autocorrect issue, especially considering Chi O pledged two black girls. The post makes zero sense if they pledged black girls. The world won't care though even if there is a legit explanation.

Because a public institution that receives state and federal funding has to have a zero tolerance policy for racism.

Actually, Update #3 seems much more likely to me.

How in the hell can it auto correct to a racial slur?

Saying whoever shopped it changed the word from ninjas.

I thought they looked strange. If somebody did that to those girls, they need their arse kicked.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 6:21 pm to NorthGwinnettTiger
Yep. I was completely embarrassed, but after looking at it a little harder, it definitely looks tampered with. I hope that is what actually happened.
