Beyond "shame and shun" by people that think differently, there is nothing to be done.
I do not think any person or group exercising freedom and rights should EVER be subjected to the boot of authority.
The decision is right. The administration should do nothing.
I, and those that feel as I do, can and should ignore / shame them. THAT alone should be the consequence of this.

I remember the outcry the last time the Klan had a resurgence - late-70s to mid-80s - (federal desegregation orders were the catalyst, primarily, for you youngsters) - and they somehow acquired time on cable access channels in Alabama (among others).
Those programs were an absolute hoot - I'm sure it was a source of some entertainment - but more importantly, it put their "ideas" out in the marketplace to be examined, studied, and rejected. Pushing them underground (in a very similar way as substances are made illegal), grants them a mystery and aura they do not deserve. It also gives them unearned martydom status.
The bright light of public examination (call it shame, if you must, but no one is above criticism, right? - well one notable exception, but, that too, shall pass) is the great crucible of a free society. It quickly sifts through what has merit and what does not.

quote:I'm kind of with you on that, provided we're consistent in that approach across the board. Clearly the action of the university and the fraternity in question is discriminatory. I have a problem with a university acquiescing to that type of blatant discrimination. But I can live with it as long as the school is consistent. However, consistency in issues like this leads to larger problems areas. For example, scholarships set aside for one particular race. UCLA, among other schools, has them for black students. The goal, the intent is good. But on its face the set-aside is discriminatory. One might even call it racist. However we resolve this kind of anachronistic practice, all I ask is that we be consistent in doing it. One set of rules for everybody.

I couldn't agree more.
