[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
Huckleberry: “a school that the Klu Klux Klan holds at bay” - Queen, for the reasons I wrote yesterday, I don’t think that statement accurately depicts the “chant” situation or the Ole Miss of today.
Regarding the kluckers showing up on campus, of course it’s embarrassing and will reflect poorly on the school and our state. The fact that they have planned to be there doesn’t change my perception of the school. The school has no control over it. The reaction of the alumni and students to their presence could change my perception, however. My hope is that the kluckers will be ignored and/or roundly booed. I will probably do the former, as that is the opposite reaction to what the cluckers want. While I respect their freedom of speech, I wish the press would express its freedom to ignore them, but I realize that is probably a pipe dream.
The kluckers' presence will add to what is already always a circus, that being the Ole Miss/LSU game. If you want to see another group whose presence tomorrow promises to be embarassing and equally worthy of protest, these fools were at the game 2 years ago: http://www.tigerpimpnation.com/ I suppose every school has its problems.
