Interesting example! How many were insulted by their choice of a graphic? How many were upset with those who where insulted?

Meanwhile happening elsewhere...
The education system suffers from the same code problem. Some parts of the system are "protected" by law by Tenure to stop politics controlling and bad management abuses. Now it is next to impossible to enforce any code of conduct against any teacher. Without some control your get mediocrity and dangerous behavoiur, with too much control you get "play it safe" i.e., the sun revolves around the earth.

I am not sure there is a solution without problems.
