Special Treatment?

Special Treatment or Not

As seen on Foxnews.com
from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,180329,00.html
"A Texas lawmaker wants the University of Texas to reconsider it's suspension of an Asian-American fraternity accused of hazing because to treat it like all the others on campus could send the wrong message to the Asian community, reports the Houston Chronicle. (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3551228.html )
....
Rep. Hubert Vo says the school should consider other punishments such as probation, community service or alcohol abuse training for the frat's members. His request is not, however, about race, he said. And he certainly wouldn't expect Asians to get special treatment at UT."
Rep. Vo is not claiming that the frat has been treated worse than other frats would be, he thinks treating it as equal sends wrong message.

If you want equal status, demand equality. DON’T ask for SPECIAL treatment
