Call me crazy but shouldn't our colleges and universities be embracing the first amendment instead of censoring art so they can minimize the risk of fines? I read in "The Week" this week (issue 230, p18, summarizing Kathleen Parker from the Orlando Sentinel) that our higher education centers across America are self censoring their student newspapers so that people won't be offended by what they see in them. I really find it counter productive for our higher learning institutions to be teaching that the first amendment is only ok if nobody gets offended. It is this public correctness that has virtually removed all public debate in this country and it's a shame.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990204805709725942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11630456.post-1129840111200345012005-10-20T15:28:00.000-05:002005-10-20T15:28:00.000-05:00It's not that it's illegal, but the station certai...It's not that it's illegal, but the station certainly could be fined by the FCC for broadcasting indecent content - a nebulous and virtually undefined term. Because it is Penn that owns the station license and not the station itself, XPN's management is pretty sensitive about these kind of things.<BR/><BR/>XPN almost lost its license in the 70s back when it was run by students.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658661480193916587noreply@blogger.com
