lol @ the AAO. I am with lowing on this. I mean, how can you "complete" an "investigation" without even listening to what the "offender" has to say ?

The guy read a book about the fight against the Klan, and that is supposed to offend co-workers ? Some people...

And seriously, what's the AAO for anyway ? These people should not get in the way of law-abiding people reading books. I mean, it's not like the book was illegal or s.th.
I have a feeling some people have so small penises that they can only feel good about themselves by harassing others. I pitty them.

honestly, I always thought that was spelled with a double t. Oh well, I guess you learn something every day.

Lowing, I'm offended that you are reading articles about men reading books about the KKK because I don't like the KKK.  I demand you not read articles like this while I'm on the internets.



It's one thing if the book he was reading was praising the KKK, but it seems to me it was mocking them.  People get their panties in a knot so easily nowadays.
Which is why I'm for a law banning all panties.

I would support such a move, and I predict broad support across the aisle.

Sampson was ordered to stop reading the book in the immediate presence of his coworkers and, when reading the book, to sit apart from them.
I thought that only happened in South Africa, and not even there anymore.

Someone was offended about a book and complained.  Big deal.  Imagine if we made a thread every time someone complained about something and bureaucracy issued a warning.

The school didn't kick him out.  He wasn't fired.  He was told to read his book away from people while on the job - which is perfectly legal.  If anything, he should be angry at the coworker and Affirmative Action office for failing to listen to his perspective.  However, an employer can legally monitor what is read on employee property during employee hours.  They could have just let him go with no explanation.

How does this show the pussification of America again?

Cry moar.
I wouldn't call it pussification -- I'd just call it sheer idiocy.

Honestly, when I read about this kind of stuff, it makes me want to give these people something truly worthy of bitching about.
It is pussification.....When you can be offended and "run and tell" that your feelings were hurt and something should be done about it, and the authority actually takes action in your favor, it weakens us as a nation. I don't care if he was reading a book that was PRO-KKK, it is his right and privilege as an American to do so. It is not a right or a privilege in America ( not yet), NOT to be offended.
