Few things are as deliciously amusing as twisting the knickers of self appointed arbiters of propriety. While I think dressing up as a suicide bomber or mass murder victim is in very poor taste, I do not trust anyone in academia to address this problem without creating a p.c. nightmare that unreasonably limits free expression of all types.

Why would kids know anything about values when institutions like Boy Scouts are routinely condemned as intolerant and thrown out of public spaces? Since tolerance is the only virtue preached today why is it remarkable that students are tolerant of intolerable behavior?
