Okay, i just spent the last 40 minutes crafting a witty, unbiased BRILLIANT article on Cal Poly's most recent foray into the news. Unfortunately, my computer decided that "Travis moving the mouse" really means "Travis pushing the goddamn restart button" and promptly lost it all. I yelled loud enough that Dave actually came over to verify I hadn't hurt myself. But now I don't even want to try to reproduce the opus that was my initial attempt, so instead just read about it here(scroll down a bit), here, here and here. Okay half of those don't really say much, but they make "Stalinist police state" cracks about public education, and I support those. Here's the source from the group actually representing the beleaguered student. (I'll link the place I saw it first too, just because I'm a jackass.)
My own thoughts: Though the OFFICIAL flier said "It's okay to leave the plantation" a lot of the fliers that actually got passed out said "In yo face whitey!" and other gems proving the tact of CPCR. And considering that CPCR has consistently made asses out of themselves every chance they had in the past 2 years, they probably told Baker to shove it and dug themselves into that hole. I also wonder how a bible study group figured that an informal, unannounced gathering somehow had the legitimacy to tell an official club promoting a sponsored event that they didn't have the right to post announcements on the "announcement board." What were those good christians doing outside like that anyhow? Afterall, if they leave their dorm they make themselves vulnerable to such corrupting ideas as "Critical thinking," "two-sided debate" and "the fact that your Christ-lite college cult is at best a beuraucratic marketing ploy to keep you interested, under it's belt and buying it's damned T-shirts from the campus store."
You see, with a little effort and wit I can still convey most of the information I did the first time as well as offend half the planet, with time to spare for lunch.
