Another Day, Another Cartoon Related Controversy on a College Campus

It's my understanding that some people believe that campus cartoon controversies like this new one at Lehigh University take place far too frequently and to far too little of a real-world effect to be considered much of a story, but I find them fascinating. The way that so many of these young cartoonists approach controversial subjects seems to indicate that they find value in controversy in an almost cultural currency type of way rather than as a tool to facilitate saying something important or meaningful -- even to themselves. I also think there's a real change in how these stories become local and regional news instead of staying on the campus proper.
