*When you find out your friends did the 'wrong'.
Administrators at The George Washington University, promising expulsion for students who distributed xenophobic posters, suddenly get cold feet when they realize the guilty party wasn't the conservative group they thought it was
On Monday of this week, anti-Islamic posters distributed on The George Washington University campus (complete with university seal and forged signature of a conservative student group) were called hate speech. Today, after the revelation that 7 student members of the liberal Students for Conservativo-Facism Awareness group made and distributed the posters in a smear campaign, the fliers have been downgraded to mere "controversial posters". This, after GW Administrators had initially attacked the conservative Young America's Foundation group and demanded they sign an agreement disavowing any hate speech that might occur at their event (which was the subject of the poster smear tactic). I guess the GW administration had found their criminal and wanted a signed confession.
Now the world waits with bated breath on their very uncomfortable and public response. What's a slap on the wrist between friends?
