Educrats Confirm Their Militant Humorlessness at Ohio State
In the interests of imposing "diversity," the authoritarian moonbats running Ohio State University have banned jokes. From an official educratic "Diversity Statement" issued by the Office of University Housing:
Do not joke about differences related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, socioeconomic background, etc.
Students who overhear the cracking of forbidden jokes are required to turn in the evildoers:
It is the responsibility of any student in the residence halls to report incidents of racial or other discrimination or harassment to residence hall staff.
The document also includes this gem:
Words, actions, and behaviors that inflict or threaten infliction of bodily or emotional harm, whether done intentionally or with reckless disregard, are not permitted.
The bureauweenies apparently reserve the right to decide on a case-by-case basis just what it means to threaten infliction of emotional harm.
Congratulations, OSU: you just made FIRE's September 2007 Speech Code of the Month.
Hat tip: VDARE.

Ugh, thank goodness I'm long done with college. I don't think I'd be allowed to stay long enough to graduate in today's ultra-sensitive environment...

It's irritating to see that even the big schools that cater to us common people are getting as bad as the elite moonbat schools.
I guess it's inevitable - leftist utopians who think they are smarter than everyone else always end up as totalitarians. Maybe the brilliant adminisrators at OSU will change the mascot from the "Buckeye" to the "Brain Police".
Anyway, some raving moonbat has just interrrupted the Patraeus hearing...all I heard was "I'm 60 years old! arggh! arggh!"...

Way back in the fourth grade, I told another kid who was making stupid remarks "drop dead" and was accused by him of "theatening" his life! I can pretty much guess what he's doing THESE days.
PS: How did the twelve deciples greet Jesus when he walked into a room?
"Close the door! Were you born in a barn?"
I'll just wait here for the rioting Christian mobs to call for my head.
