What do you think? Should the behavior depicted be outlawed or banned on
campus? Why or why not? Be sure to provide some context so that your readers
know what you are writing about.
Students beware. The First Amendment doesn't fully protect everything you say or do at school. I feel that some actions taken on college campuses should be banned because of their clear offensive nature. A "ghetto party" is a modern day minstrel show. People show up in blackface makeup, KKK gowns, and other paraphanelia, to accentuate black stereotypes for entertainment. On college campuses, parties like this are becoming more and more popular. Ghetto parties should not happen. I feel that ghetto parties are extraordinarily offensive and a sick reminder of the racism that exists today.I think they should be banned on college campuses because they soil the marketplace of ideas. While participants may say it is harmless fun, ghetto parties are demeaning black people. They will reenact lynchings and promote racism. I know that banning ghetto parties may undermine the First Amendment but I feel more strongly that they are a moral misdemeanor. To see colege kids lynching a fellow student in balckface is offnsive to me! I am upset to their beliefs because they aren't ones of acceptance and tolerance.
