Taser This

The student who ran the "Taser this: Fuck Bush" headline is keeping his job.
Colorado State University protected his First Amendment rights as a journalist but scolded him for violating the school's ethics (use of profanity and poor judgment).
David McSwane, editor in chief of The Collegian, CSU's self-funded newspaper, was "hard to read" after the decision was made in his favor Thursday.
First Amendment rights protect us as journalists against censorship. Running such extreme profanity in an over sized headline, however, was simply irresponsible. The newspaper lost $50,000 in advertising revenue and a lot of respect, if you ask me.
As for McSwane, he gained valuable experience in publicity and First Amendment defense. He also may have learned a big lesson, and joked that now that's it over, he can start going to class again.
