A Vow Of Silence Seems To Be The Best Course Of Action
-
The Chairman of the Board of Ursinus College is in trouble -- and one board member resigned in disgust -- because of a series of joke tweets that some folks at the school found sexist, elitist, racist, and body-shaming. Among the tweets was one chiding a janitor with a "Ban Fracking Now" sticker on his bucket as a likely Obama supporter, a suggestion that only 10% of yoga pants wearers should be wearing them, and a joke about Caitlyn Jenner's speaking fee going up ("What wage gap?"). Most of the offensive tweets are just retweets or approval of conservative things like a Ben Carson speech or criticizing people's selfies or just criticizing liberals. Take a look at the tweets and see if you think they're as "over the line" and offensive as the critics say they are. So, moral: You're better off not posting anything. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
