Not only is the subject matter depicted on the shirt ghastly, hateful and stupid, but the quality of the artwork is poor. If one is going to be a bigot, it amplifies the crime to be a clumsy one.

It's just a big "fat one" of a fail. I think there should have been consequences for the students, and the fact that there wasn't is troubling.

This is supposed to be one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation. Sure doesn't look that way from here.
