Nerd News: Students Call Professor "Racist," Professor Sues

I can't make this stuff up if I tried.

BONUS: The Onion is involved. Because the offended students didn't understand it. Really.

DOUBLE BONUS: The professor in question has this to say:
“When I started teaching 10 years ago, I thought universities were the quintessential market place of ideas. I was so naïve, and so, so wrong,” he said. “It’s not an open market place of ideas — I hope we can get back to that notion because our society desperately needs places where we can have truly free discussion. I just can’t say I see that in the American university today.”
All I have in response is: "Well, DUH."
