United Press International - NewsTrack - Student told to write essay as punishment: "Student told to write essay as punishmentIf they are going to make a mountain out of a molehill -- or blow something into the mainstream discussion -- start with factual coverage.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A student of Pittsburgh's Duquesne University has been told to write a 10-page essay on homosexuality as punishment for his blog remark on gays and lesbians.
Ryan Miner says he's willing to risk expulsion rather than write the essay that must discuss the pros and cons of homosexuality, reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The newspaper said the 19-year-old had called gays and lesbians 'subhuman' in a blog."
Now, where is that blog in question? Any pointers are welcomed.
This isn't a mountain, nor a molehill. But, it is a bit of hot air that bubbles up from time to time in a faithful kinda schedule. That's me and my son, Grant, standing in front of Old Faithful just before she blows.

It was a "Facebook" forum. I guess Facebook is the hot new college pick up web site. Wired also did an article about it. You have to have a valid student id to register. There was a TR article about it too.
"Miner created an online group opposed to the alliance in Facebook, an online forum that is not affiliated with Duquesne University. In the blog, he referred to gays as "subhuman." Duquesne University students who saw his comments complained to school administrators."
Ops, TR link.
