@maya54 That's a ridiculous take. The N word and "you suck" are completely different. Congrats on being a lawyer, but it doesn't take a genius to know that hate speech is protected under the first amendment. Using the N word could very well be used as harassment. Walking up to a teacher and cussing him/her out or making sexual advances through words fall under free speech doesn't mean it's not punishable.
Memes are here to stay; Berkeley’s meme page has over 141k followers and now the university will be offering a course on it (and a Meme Studies Department) come fall taught by none other than Professor Meme Lord
UCBalumnus,I thought that might be satirical but more likely not as memes are a subject gaining traction and going from a joke to actual courses. Wouldn’t surprise me to see it in the near future at more universities. Please post if you find other links to more info
