被违反了
University of Connecticut students Jarred Karal and Ryan Mucaj were arrested
by campus police Monday night and charged with violating a Connecticut hate
crime statute for using a racial slur in an incident captured on video.
One night earlier this month, Karal and Mucaj — both described by police as
white — walked with another individual through the parking lot of a
student apartment complex playing “a game in which they yelled vulgar words
,” according to the incident report. Police allege that the two switched to
saying “n*****” when they reached the parking lot, which was loud enough
for two people inside to hear.
The two were charged under a Connecticut State law that criminalizes
ridiculing “any person or class of people on account of creed, religion,
color, denomination, nationality, or race.” The misdemeanor is punishable
by up to 30 days in jail, a fine of $50, or both. The third individual was
not charged for saying the slur.
It is unclear whether the statute violates First Amendment grounds.
“It is supportive of our core values to pursue accountability, through due
process, for an egregious assault on our community that has caused
considerable harm,” UConn President Thomas C. Katsouleas said in a
statement late Monday.

racism, a new first-year course on diversity training, and increased hiring

In other news, Curren$y, Trademark & Young Roddy release a new album which
you can hear the N word multiple times. Makes lots of money.

The college should have some provision in their code of conduct to handle
this situation as racial harassment. But I don't think a criminal statute is
going to pass constitutional muster of a true threat or proven intent to
intimidate.

Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about – the victim feminism,
the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the
lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the
first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of
what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using
the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist,
sexist, or homophobic.
We have seen other countries, particularly in this century, where this has
been the case. And we have always regarded them with a mixture of pity, and
to be truthful, some amusement, because it has struck us as so strange that
people would allow a situation to develop where they would be afraid of what
words they used. But we now have this situation in this country. We have it
primarily on college campuses, but it is spreading throughout the whole
society. Were does it come from? What is it?
We call it “Political Correctness.” The name originated as something of a
joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only
half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It is the great disease of our
century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe
, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of
ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.
If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly
find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism
promoted by the Medias and the Democrats.

If the law is as stated above, it clearly violates the First Amendment.
On the other hand, the two have no protection from administrative actions by
the school.

I remember a group of people, sat around and wrote a document saying that it
is not right to arrest someone for saying words. Think that was back in
1787.

So should we be good citizens and call the police whenever we hear music
containing THAT "WORD" playing in public or around college campus's? What if
the people playing it are verbally singing to it? Will they be arrested?
According to this article, it is now illegal to use the word in a game; Is
it legal if the word is sung or used in a song? Is it only legal if Black
people say it?

This is a good case for supporting first amendment rights. I disagree with
the use of racial slurs but the first amendment needs to be protected.

This needs to be taken all the way up to the Supreme Court so it can be
knocked down and set a precedent that no one can be arrested for words. "It'
s unclear whether this violates the First Amendment"? Really? It's pretty
clear. Two people were arrested for saying a rude word. A rude word that is
only arrestable, apparently, if said by a white person.

.sounds like they were playing a version of the peni5 game.....So, will The
college be banning all Hip Hop and Rap music that references this term as
well as disallowing any musical entertainment that does the same?

It's been a long time since I've read an article that presented the divide
between my values and the values of leftists so starkly.
This is a clear violation of the first amendment. What blows me away is that
people are supporting it. Is this our future?

UConn President Thomas C. Katsouleas should be voted out for representing a
state controlled taxpayer funded institution that is clearly violating the
free speech rights protected in the Bill of Rights .
