SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Campus bake sales by conservatives who oppose affirmative-action are cooking up discord -- and complaints about restrictions on free speech.

Organizers charge white students $1 for a cookie, while blacks and other minorities pay 25 to 95 cents. Doughnuts are available for 50 cents to everyone except Asian Americans and whites, who cannot purchase them.

Unfair? So is affirmative action, organizers contend.

"It's a good example of what affirmative action does, judging people based on race," said Jason Chambers, president of the University of Washington College Republicans, which held a sale in October that shut down when some students began attacking the booth.

"People were upset. People did feel offended," said Anthony Rose, president of the UW Black Student Union. "You see something like that, you feel itemized."

In September, Southern Methodist University shut down a similar event by the Young Conservatives of Texas.

Similar bake sales have been held since February at the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, Northwestern University near Chicago, the University of Michigan and Indiana University.

A conservative watchdog group in Philadelphia contends some universities are violating students' constitutional freedoms by restricting the protests.

"They cannot defend in public what they have done to the First Amendment at the University of Washington," said Thor Halvorssen, CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. "There is no question that the administration would never censor a group of students holding a peaceful protest in favor of affirmative action."

The UW College Republicans' Oct. 8 bake sale took place about the same time as a step performance by a traditionally black fraternity and drew plenty of attention.

Chambers said students engaged in a couple hours of good, heated discussion, until some began yelling and tearing down signs, even throwing cookies at members of the conservative group.

"I really thought that everyone on campus could maintain their composure and have a civil discussion without getting violent. I was really surprised that it went that far," Chambers said.

UW spokesman Robert Roseth said the administration had nothing to do with the shutdown. The group's members dismantled the booth voluntarily after the office of student affairs asked them if they wished to take it down, he said.

Rose, a 20-year-old junior majoring in American Ethnic Studies, backs up the university's account.

"It was for their own safety," Rose said. "They shut themselves down."

In a letter responding to the melee, Board of Regents President Jerry Grinstein expressed disappointment with the sale.

"The statements of the UW College Republicans in putting on a bake sale about affirmative action were tasteless, divisive and hurtful to many members of the university community," he wrote.

In the incident at Southern Methodist University, organizers described the event as a bake sale -- not an anti-affirmative-action protest -- in their application for event space, said Jim Caswell, vice president for student affairs.

Had the university known it was a demonstration, a more appropriate location would have been chosen, Caswell said. A staff member thought the friction was likely to escalate, and stopped the event, he said.

"I think it's important to note that freedom of expression was not the issue, it was the hostile environment created by the Young Conservatives' failure to fully disclose their intentions," Caswell said.

new to me, glad to see that people are strange all over.
the dumbass attitudes of americans when it comes to racial inequalities and work have resulted in a brain-drain and loss of potential across the board.

they should have another bake sale titled pre-1970 (or whenever affirmative action took legal effect)

and have whites get everything for free, and blacks and other minorities pay 2 dollars for smaller portions of everything, if they even get them..
what pisses me off when these right wing pricks do this crap is that their bake sale didn't stop to acknowledge that:

white people made the goods which are being sold

they set the prices

they already ate plenty of sweets at the expense of others and gave each other plenty of free baked goods, so they're already much more nourished than everyone else

so how are we supposed to get any where if we keep classifying people and hiring them based on race?

two wrongs don't make a right.

two wrongs, huh. Im going to stay away from that one, but to eloborate on the new bake sale ideas I think they should hold a "Bake Sale Through the Ages"...maybe then the Young Conservacrats of Amerikkka can see why things ain't exactly even stevies.

The first table would have a lush spread of Native American pastries in abundance, available for barter to all. There will also be a garden section available for people to work and till and plant veggies and fruits they could come back and get for free. That will run from 7am to Noon each day. At 12:01pm euro-american & spanish students are allowed to ransack and destroy ALL the Native goods and keep all the proceeds, relegating the Native students to their new table located behind the sewer sump pump just past the Janitor's mop sink shack and to the left of the Seeing Eye Dog shit-lawn. At 5pm the white students are allowed to select one Native student and have him run a 3 card monte table next to every ATM on campus, allowing him to keep 5% of the profits. Any Native students complaining are summarily expelled and any future applicants to the school from that students tribe are disqualified.

The second table would be run by white students only. That is, the actual selling and profiting from the table will be conducted by white students only. The baked goods will be manufactured by several different races, with the black student labor coming from students ordered by the school to abandon their current courseload and living arrangements. They aren't paid and are allowed to keep no profits. They must enroll in completely new majors, having those majors selected for them by the white students running the bake sale. They are forced to enroll in and only speak German, enroll in a study of theology course and practice what the instructor selects, and file "change of name" forms with the admissions office which are to be blank and completed by any white students working in the office. No majors will be above technical training and the employment rate for those who actually graduate is a manadatory 15%. Asian students are to come and work for the table at about 1pm and set up an obvious and easy access path to the table all along the Western side of the campus. They will not be paid for their services and will not be allowed to actually use the paths they create. All Japanese students are to be pulled from the table at 3pm and forced into the gymnasium for two hours, missing any and all activities they had scheduled. They will not be allowed to make up any work or be paid for any time missed.

**Special scheduling note: Any African-American students who have been receiving free specialy prepared "pink" donuts at the 'Tuskogee Table' are encouraged to visit the Nurse's Station.
