...with this disturbing implication but also with the weight of violent protest, these cartoons do less to encourage substantive debate on the conflict between free speech and sensitivity than it does to inspire knee-jerk reactions and finger pointing on all sides.

...seeks to cover all its bases; it gets sued for the one protest that turns violent, not for the hundred that do not. But such a defense, taken to its logical conclusion, could easily justify an outright ban on all public expression. Further, the administration admirably stood by the Salient??s rights to free expression while other schools were not as supportive (at the University of Illinois, two student editors were reprimanded by the University chancellor, who wrote a letter criticizing the newspaper for publishing the cartoons...
