SMU shuts down cookie sale that offended some Associated Press DALLAS -- Southern Methodist University officials have shut down a bake sale in which cookies were offered for sale at different prices, depending on the race and gender of the buyer. The sale Tuesday was organized by the Young Conservatives of Texas, who said it was intended as a protest of affirmative action. A sign said white males had to pay $1 for a cookie. The price was 75 cents for white women, 50 cents for Hispanics and 25 cents for blacks. Members of the conservative group said they meant no offense and were only trying to exercise their freedom of speech to protest the use of race or gender as a factor in college admissions. A black student filed a complaint, saying the sale was offensive. SMU officials said they halted the event after 45 minutes because it created a potentially unsafe situation for students. The sale drew a crowd of students outside the student center and several engaged in a shouting match, a university spokesman said. David C. Rushing, a law student and chairman of SMU's Young Conservatives of Texas, said the event didn't get out of hand. At most, a dozen students gathered around the table of cookies, he said. "We copied what's been done at multiple campuses around the country to illustrate our opinion of affirmative action and how we think it's unfair," he said.
Hell yeah..I agree. I'd be recruiting black people to go and buy me cookies though..how come no one thought about that?? Ven
