Comments on: Wise discusses racial issues with 2013 http://bentleyvanguard.com/2009/10/22/npwise-discusses-racial-issues-with-2013/ Official Student Newspaper of Bentley University Mon, 10 May 2010 20:40:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sick and Tired of Excuses http://bentleyvanguard.com/2009/10/22/npwise-discusses-racial-issues-with-2013/comment-page-1/#comment-588 Sick and Tired of Excuses Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:31:15 +0000 http://bentleyvanguardonline.com/?p=6007#comment-588 In no way, shape, or form is ANYONE trying to stop the Constitutional Rights of Students. You can say how you feel, but when you do so, be prepared for the opposition. Whether or not the comment about President Bush, that was about one minute of the hour speech, was offensive or not, is NOT the point. The point of the speech was to introduce an idea to students that many are ignorant of. Institutionalized Racism. I feel like those who opposed Tim Wise, opposed TIM WISE. Not the speech in which he made. It seems like once again the main point is being hidden by the dislike of the messenger. Regardless of WHO says it...it is real, and needs to be faced. So get over...not liking Wise, and get over the political views that he expressed in his speech. Get ON the fact that Institutionalized Racism is REAL...and if you dont agree with that, THEN a conversation should be had. By the way "Concerned Student", the article is in NO way Biased..Facts are being stated. Maybe if more than 1 of the "200" students who opposed Wise showed up to the forum, those views and facts could have been included as well.

And how is the administration trying to silence you? We give a lot of money to this school and if this type of free speech is being silenced, we'd like to know how. Oh and the typo...Well mistakes happen. Looks like someone meant "It's" though instead of Its.... 200 of 4,000 plus seems to be few if you ask me….

Oh and the typo…Well mistakes happen. Looks like someone meant “It’s” though instead of Its….

I don't care what you believe, I just wish students here would stand up for ANYTHING they believe in, without having to use their computer.

In the first sentence you spelled this guy's name "Time" instead of Tim. Looks like someone fixed it for the website. The Vanguard Copy Editing strikes again! Congratulations. You'd think it would be easy to spell someone's name right. Isn't it? Picked up a paper copy today. In the first sentence you spelled this guy’s name “Time” instead of Tim.

This article is extremely biased. But, getting past that point, why did the author refuse to include some of the more inflammatory comments coming from Wise? Why did the author refuse to admit that over 50 students in the satellite classrooms tried to get up and leave but their professors did not let them? The author states that "although few Bentley students did not agree with Wise..." do you consider over 200 students "few"? Why did the author neglect to look up past cases where mandatory diversity training was deemed unconstitutional? The administration says that they are all for students to have 'free speech' and yet as soon as a large group of students disagrees with a mandatory diversity speech, the administration, and the like, tries to silence them.
