Everyone should take note of this lesson, not just college kids... and I would add to that the fact that even if your intentions are not bad, once something comes across negatively, or gets interpreted by someone as if it were, there is no coming back from that.
In this case, from everything I have read (I did not see the video), its sounds like the intentions of the young men involved were not good and if that is the case I don't see why swift, decisive and severe action is not justified. Whether or not we all agree with the exact details of the response, I think that we should commend the University and National Charter for sending a message that they will not except such poor behavior. Hopefully those involved will learn a lesson and will emerge from this incident as better people.
