Im still working my way through the article (I keep getting work done for some reason), But I completely agree with you.

I think this will be fun for a lot of fans but - and i can't believe i'm going to say this - I wish it was somebody a little more pop/rap. I'm stereotyping here but my first thought is we're going to have a ton of recruits on campus and it'd be great if the concert was more aligned with their preferences to deliver an unforgettable experience.

That being said, if you like him and are looking forward to it - have fun and I hope it makes a great weekend even better.

Please refer back to my first comment in this line. Almost half of those killed in the Holocaust were not Jewish. It was an atrocity perpetrated against a great many people. I'd agree that those actually there may have more claim to offense than all the rest of us, but for those of us who didn't actually experience it, I'd say we're on equal ground when it comes to our capacity to find the Holocaust wrong.

free time that isn't eaten up by TKP.

What is this fantastical thing of which you speak?

"Quick, we need a way to take a picture of 45 or so college aged girls showing school spirit without it being in any way sexual!" "I've got it! BLAZERS!!"

I only remember "Wade's grocery".
Come to think of it, that might offend some.
However, $5.99 beast light cases, $6.99 Natty light cases and then the mind ending 5.9% alcohol Beast Ice cases.... makes everything else real fuzzy....
Don't judge me...

Yeah, given all the attention this sort of thing has gotten recently, I sometimes wonder how some of my classes were a thing. Both Con Law courses I took had a ton of open discussion about a wide variety of things, yet no one was ever "triggered." My International Relations Senior Seminar, DBHT14 and I repeatedly took over the world during the half a semester where we got to play hypothetical war games. Nobody left class crying (except maybe from laughter when we did things like create a NATO-esque group in Southeast Asia known as MICKJAgGER). The criminology course I took (with half the football team) constantly mentioned race, violence of all sorts, and we watched a lot of movies depicting those sorts of things. Nobody went to the dean to complain. Perhaps the most contentious class though was Morality and Justice, in which there was a recitation section where we got to argue about the weeks topic every Friday. Topics like abortion, euthanasia, social justice. And having our ideas challenged by each other made us all smarter. More articulate. Better able to defend our beliefs. Which is the entire purpose of those sorts of classes, so it would be educational malpractice to stymie the free flow of ideas just because someone's precious feelings get hurt.

After reading that article, and without knowing the whole story, I'm wondering if these theories (specifically the harassment parts) were part of CJ Reavis's dismissal. They seem to explain why it wasn't criminal.

I think the general thought here is that this isn't just some random concert; he's here specifically to be apart of the football festivities that weekend. So more of Whit's area.

Maybe a student org was involved? I don't see Sands having anything to do with concerts, though.

I graduated from Tech in 2012, and while I attended, the absolute need for political correctness everywhere KILLED me! Im all for not offending people, but good lord college kids take it to an extreme. We all know its literally impossible to please everyone 100% of the time right?

Also if Whit was able to pull Taylor Swift to B-Burg I'd be extremely impressed. She's the most popular music act on the planet right now. But your point is 100% spot on; regardless of the act someone wouldn't like it.

Honestly I'm just impressed that he was able to get Paisley to the Burg.
