Greek Week events altered after members painted “Build the Wall”

While I marvel that some people don't understand that a 10 foot wall can be defeated with an 11 foot ladder, these safe-spacers are even worse.

Several events for Ohio University’s Greek Week, an annual, weeklong event focused on philanthropy, have been canceled after some Sorority and Fraternity Life members painted “Build the Wall” on an area typically designated for graffiti last week.

"Indeed, this wall is a place of free speech and expression; however, the words painted were troubling because they had a very different meaning to some than they may have to others viewing the message or even to those who painted the message," McDavis said in the email.

While I do hate to agree with you and WILL point out there are no 11 ft ladders, you are essentially correct. A wall by itself isn't going to do a damned thing.

I marvel that you think we're going to build a wall and walk away from it.

Wow....

Something like this stirs Liberal concern? How about if
it had been a Clinton or Biden support graffiti?

Something like Freedom of Speech and expression?

If those concerned about a known Greek Week object like
this are so worried about expression, they should insist that
Campus Security guard the damn thing 24/7.

OP missed the story. The story isn't the painting. The story is the Pussies CANCELLED SHIT because somebody painted a goddamn WALL.

Wow.

College today....it's indoctrination to pussism.
