The late great flap over Don Imus, his use of politically incorrect phraseolgy, and the ensuing firestorm that left him without a job is symptomatic of the failure of the American eduction system to teach the essentials of reasonable government.
Imus was doltish enough to use gutter language to describe a college sports team. He was set upon by the Reverands (so called) Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. In his defense, he exhibited more "Christian" behavior than either of the two wolves in pastors' clothing. They appear to believe that vengeance is theirs, and the right to lynch has devolved to those who feel insulted.
The simple facts of the case are these : Imus has been deprived of his civil rights by the lunatic civil rights gestapo. He was discriminated against based on a combination of race and culture and fired for exercising his rights under the First Amendment. The ACLU is asleep at the wheel; a sharp attorney could make a name for himself and a bundle of cash to boot if he were to persuade Imus to pursue a civil rights lawsuit against the Revs and his former employers.
