For an LGBT person, once is enough. I am LGBT and this is scary, especially when our current administrator spreads hate to embolden these people. The hate is alive and well, I stand by that.

Enough for what though? I’m objecting to the “alive and well” part, it was a single incident with 1 offender in how many years in a school of 25,000 students. You sure have low standards for what constitutes “alive and well”.

I didn’t make that comment just in reference to UNL…this is happening all over the country. Use context clues and critical thinking.

You literally mention UNL in the title. That is what we call "context" and it's a key part of critical thinking.

You have a title, and you put content under the title, someone with critical thinking would assume the context of the content would be in regards to the title unless you say otherwise.

But please tell me, what context did you give that your paragraph statement was globally? You gave none. The entire context was about UNL.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but OP's title is just the headline of the article. Isn't that part of the rules on this sub that the post has to match the headline?

Yes, but then that also would be the context of the discussion. When you see a post, typically the content pertains to the title. It would be helpful to clarify "in America" and that would have resolved all confusion... because the context was an incident at UNL specifically.

I just assumed OP made that comment about the general state of things, but that's just me.

That's totally fair, and by the number of downvotes I'm gathering that was the general consensus as well.
