Just like a liberal to try and re-write history. What is it with these people? It was even a postive step in the civil liberties fight in the 1920's and this university (btw, one in which I attended for a short time) has to muck up history this way?

I think one of the problems is that the definiton of 'harrassment' has gone from a fairly straighforward legal idea (someone intentionally and systematically taking actions to cause the discomfort of another) to the one that seems to currently reign, that being anything that makes a person in a protected class uncomfortable, as asserted by that person. The former should be dealt with legally, the latter should be roundly derided.

His black co-workers are against him reading a book about how the KKK got pounded in a riot? I'm confused! You think they would have cheered on such action!
What if his co-workers were reading a book on Louis Farrakhan and his form of racism or Malcolm X's early works. Would they say it's OK then?
