The hope for our country rests with the young people. Student journalists perceived an injustice at the college administration level and wrote about it. The administration reacted by threatening to expel the students, halting all journalism classes, locking the journalism lab, and starting an adverse personnel action against the journalism professor, who has been at the job there for 17 years.  I hope the students and the professor survive this onslaught. Administrative bullying exists at all levels, but it certainly has no place in a college where the primary objective is "...the search for truth...". Administrators who crack down like this example are nothing more than petty tyrants drunk with their perceived power. This situation presented a great learning opportunity for staff and students at Hutchinson Community College to fully disclose, discuss, mediate and resolve. Now the lesson has become, "...don't be a nail..", the big hammer will knock you down.
