Shawn Plew takes on IUPUI's new Tobacco-Free policy:
The new IUPUI campus tobacco policy doesn’t stop at protecting innocent non-smokers from the evil tobacco-sucking monsters formerly lurking 30 feet away from building entrances, it also prohibits the use of smokless tobacco products on campus. That’s right: a product that doesn’t harm others in any way and does not physically impair the user has been banned from use at IUPUI . . .
Here’s an idea: why not focus on EDUCATION and not REGULATION?
Amen, brother. When administrators are spending their time dealing with trivial inconveniences, we shouldn't wonder at IU's flagging reputation.
oh snap!

Why stop at tobacco, why not ban fatty foods, music, ipod's, SUV's, free speech, religious groups, being overweight, perspiration, bad fashion, being too short, being too tall, unpopular ideas, talking loudly, or anything else that might annoy or offend someone.
