Colorado College: Students Found Guilty for Satirical Flyer

Two students were found guilty of violating the school's "violence" policy by posting a flyer that parodied a flyer from the Feminist and Gender Studies program. Colorado College's "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" distributed a flyer called "The Monthly Rag," which included a reference to "male castration," an announcement about a lecture on "feminist porn," and an explanation of "packing" (pretending to have a phallus). As a parody of "The Monthly Rag," the two students distributed a flyer called "The Monthly Bag." The flyer included references to "tough guy wisdom," "chainsaw etiquette," the shooting range of a sniper rifle, and a quotation about "female violence and abuse" of men from the website batteredmen.com. As a result of the school's action against the students, a disciplinary letter remains in each of their academic files.
