Having said that, I don't see the rationale in suspending or expelling her from school. What she said was stupid, incredibly so, but she doesn't present a danger to anyone. It is an affront to our American values of Libery and Democracy that this girl should face such reprocussions for this video. The First Ammendment protects dumb statements, even if they are offensively so.Stephen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410377986327204882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-69686956704395212892011-03-22T18:51:57.513-07:002011-03-22T18:51:57.513-07:00what does everyone mean by a second chance?

She put this video onto the internet. A public forum where she is fair game for everyone to basically rip into her. Yes that stinks that her life is ruined for the time being and shes being harassed but she brought it upon herself. She cant expect to say those things without some kind of backlash.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231933134066584784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-27986497998719594572011-03-16T20:04:40.996-07:002011-03-16T20:04:40.996-07:00She does deserve a second chance, because we all d...She does deserve a second chance, because we all do, but how insensitive does one have to be to make something like she did. That was a complete lack of judgment and you would think someone studying Poly/Sci at UCLA would understand how to avoid situations like this. I mean, anybody really, should understand the seriousness of this issue. Obviously she was just venting anger and frustration but the tsunami comment was really what took thing thing to the next level. To have no regard for human compassion, feelings, or lives like this is strictly uncalled for. Hopefully the media lightens up after her apology but this was cold-blooded from the start.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312070974455489357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-83660283064823877762011-03-15T21:24:05.489-07:002011-03-15T21:24:05.489-07:00The guy does provide a comedic spin on this issue....The guy does provide a comedic spin on this issue. Although this subject should not be taken lightly. According to this article:<br />( http://www.socialtimes.com/2011/03/alexandra-wallace-apology ) <br />the Chancellor of UCLA issued a personal response to the video, expressing his thoughts on the matter. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6feGp0GQVJ8) <br />It is rumoured she'll facing suspension and possibly expulsion due to her careless remarks over the internet. Not only this, Wallace also received several death threats due to her little exposé. <br /><br />Miss Wallace has probably felt the sting of her actions by now and expressed her apology on DailyBruin.com. (UCLA's official news source) Like kevin, I believe she does deserve a second chance.janice thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626514912870381255noreply@blogger.com
