The choice in the first place is questionable, but the defense of why they didn't drop the act is ludicrous. We as a campus do not have Art Attack as some spontaneous and free pep rally. We purchase the words and sounds on that stage for that period of time. We own it. If we don't want to hear it, we ought not hear it, we ought not pay to hear it.
Freedom of speech is simply an impotent defense.
If Bloodhound Gang simply showed up for free and just started playing in front of the Francis Scott Key building, that would be fine. That's not the situation here. After examining the songs of the Bloodhound Gang, I'd say SEE ought to be ashamed of themselves for just plain making such a lousy purchase. Art Attack has become the campus's worst investment south of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Remember, free expression ought to be free.
