A book of parody songs updated in 2012 and circulated privately by members of the Ohio State University marching band included a sendup of the Holocaust with joking references to furnaces used in Nazi concentration camps and the train cars used to transport Jews to their deaths.

This is appalling and far more embarrassing to me than what is likely marijuana use with the football players. For so long the band has been a huge source of pride for our university but there is no defending this. Surely it wasn't the entire band, but surely enough people knew to put a stop to it. Today I am embarrassed of my university.
Young kids doing stupid shit. Don't beat yourself or your university up over it.
This is more than kids, the former band director ran that place like a strange frat house. The details coming out in the lawsuit run from eye rolling to straight up disgusting.
That's hilariously terrible. I'm shocked someone was dumb enough to write it down.
This story is just a swift kick in the Bucknuts.
That said, shameful behavior.
Read all of the comments about it, and it seems that with a very few exceptions, the folks on 11W are embarrassed and disgusted as well. Of course, you have a few folks hollering about the PC folks, but sooner or later, people must realize that PC isn't what covers stuff like this. Morally Correct might be a better term. As a former HT, we had some bus songs I wouldn't sing around most anyone I know, but it was an all male group singing stupid lewd songs, nothing formal, nothing about violence, nothing like this crap.
Biggest problem with people whining about their 1st Amendment rights is that just because you have the right to say stupid things it does not mean other people have to like them.

LMAO, best interweb cartoon I have seen in awhile, thank you!
