"Hunting Terrorists" is Offensive?It is according to
Bucknell University.
On August 29th, the Bucknell University Conservatives Club sent out a campus-wide e-mail announcing an upcoming speaker: Major John Krenson, who had been in Afghanistan "hunting terrorists." Those two words--"hunting terrorists"--resulted in three students being called to Bucknell's Office of the President by Kathy Owens, the Executive Assistant to the President.
According to the students, when they arrived at the President's Office for the meeting, Ms. Owens held up a print-out of the offending e-mail and said "we have a problem here," telling the students that the words "hunting terrorists" were offensive. For the next half-hour, the three students were given a lecture on inappropriate phrasing.You know what the saddest part of this is? If the Bucknell University Liberals Club had sent out an email suggesting a rally to protest the speaker because he had been in Afghanistan, "slaughtering innocent women and children for the Bushitler Empire", Ms Owens would have had no problem with it.
