From Princeton:
…The list, which was printed in the magazine’s Feb. 10 issue under the larger headline “And Now For Something Completely Offensive,” was written by the magazine’s coeditor-in-chief Jacob Savage ’06 and features editor Rob Buerki ’06.
In the list, Savage and Buerki ? who are both Jewish ? altered mainstream movie titles like “Dude, Where’s My Car,” “A Weekend at Bernie’s” and “Meet the Fockers” to “Dude, Where’s My Family,” “A Week at Bergen-Belsen” and “Exterminate the Fockers.”
Associate Dean of Undergraduate Students Hilary Herbold said the list was “undeniably offensive” and that discipline was “not out of the question.”
“These kinds of things of things that have appeared in the Nassau Weekly are not ordinarily the kinds of things we discipline,” Herbold said. “But we are concerned about making students feel uncomfortable.”
In times like these, it’s important to remember that the issue isn’t about free speech, but about oppression, yeah, that’s the ticket. Just push that whole First Amendment issue out of the way if it makes someone (some someones) uncomfortable.
Note: As of this posting, however, the UNC-Wilmington Seahawk‘s editorial on why the First Amendment favors Dean Herbold’s coming crackdown for comfort has not been completed.
