At 11 00. Princeton class canceled and not for a snow day rather because of something said during lecture. Whole idea was to get students talking. It did that. Good evening and thanks for joining us at 11 00. Im iain page. The class was about free speech but when some racial slurs came up some walked out. Fox 29s dave kinchen talked with some students about what went down. Reporter the phrase hate speech is in the name of this course but still while some say students knew what they were getting into, students say it was just too much. Honestly i think we all felt like that chilling effect. We were taken back and i think that was the professors intention. Reporter it hardly sat well when alexa adams says her Princeton University anthropology instructor Lawrence Rosen dropped the n word in seminar called cultural freedom hate speech, blasphemy and pornography. Whats worse, a white man punching a black man in the face or a white man calling the black man the n word but actually saying the
Princeton University Anthropology instructor Lawrence Rosen dropped the n word in seminar called cultural freedom hate speech, blasphemy and pornography. Whats worse, a white man punching a black man in the face or a white man calling the black man the n word but actually saying the n word and the whole class just like erupts in diss comfort. But he wouldnt punch a student in the stays as an example. So why would you state that comparison actually saying the word. Reporter alexa says some Students Walk out of the class while others challenged the Professor Emeritus who simply would not back down. Students had asked for at least five times like can you apologize . You see how uncomfortable we are and he said he didnt see how he offended anyone. Reporter that happened on the first day of weekly class last week. Early this week rosen cancel the class allowing them to choose another course. But alexa feels the damage was done. Including myself agree that saying that word is unnecessary. It

Was shut down. It was around 5 30 this morning when a massive pileup involving four tractor trailers and one vehicle forced a closure of the northeast extension between landsdale and quakertown. In the end it took nine hours to clean up the wreckage and reopen the highway. Amazingly one minor injury reported. There was no shortage of commuters that got stuck in the backup. As drivers were diverted turnpike officials handed out slips of paper with suggestions how to get around the closure. Matt was one of lucky ones getting off at the landsdale exit any way. I was coxing from levittown, and i thought it would be worse. I was stuck for 15 minutes, but it was traffic. Dan was not as fortunate. He was trying to get home to scranton. Maybe add another hour, hopefully less but well stay optimistic. Just fun and games. Fun and games yes. Back outside live once again, only one injury reported after the massive pipeup and as of 2 45 p. M. , this stretch of the northeast extension is back open.
