An incident at Stanford sparks more dialogue on 'PC' speech

Article Abstract:

Stanford University law student Keith Rabois's verbal harassment of a gay staff member has caused a campus controversy over the limits of free speech. The Jan 19, 1992, incident was investigated by university officials and also held the front page of the Stanford Daily for a week. While the university found Rabois not in violation of its conduct code, many students and staff signed petitions protesting Rabois' behavior. Rabois claims the response to his speech is overzealous and is guided by notions of 'political correctness.'
