Student punished for blog entry - PittsburghLIVE.com
First I have to say that anyone is subhuman, regardless of the moral behavior, either genuinely fails to understand what a human is, or it is insulting. I wonder what the school sanctioned means of talking the issue actually is? Perhaps they should publish guideline for taking a controversal position. (End of sarcasm)
Student punished for blog entry - PittsburghLIVE.com: "Ryan Miner says he's willing to risk expulsion rather than write a 10-page essay as ordered by Duquesne University.

I have a post on this as well, since it's in my backyard. I am a new visitor to your site and I was surprised to find myself back home! I hope this young man finds strength to stick to his guns, prayerfully. This world is a hard place for these young warriors. Of course, I don't think he was right to use that word either...but I'm rooting for him!
