Following up on last Wednesday’s post, it appears that Penn State has not only taken down its instructional video that stereotypes veterans as safety risks, but has also apologized for posting the video in the first place.

The whole flap reminds me of my one experience (when I taught at Cornell Law School) with a “menacing” student, and he was a veteran of nothing more than prep-school entitlement. In fact, he could only muster menacing intent, not execution — imagine the Simpsons’ Comic Book Guy invading your personal space, and you get the idea.
