Disappoint Mints Pulled From Shelves

A box of satirical breath mints poking fun at President Obama is seen at the office of University of Tennessee Vice Chancellor of Communication Margie Nichols in Knoxville, Tenn., Wednesday. The mints were pulled from the shelves at the University of Tennessee bookstore after local legislator Joe Armstrong told store officials he was offended by the mints.

Question: Did the University of Tennessee do the right thing by pulling the mints from bookstore shelves?
