How can college educated people think their rules trump a students rights? Surely some professor at that college had a basic understanding of what rights are?

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...-in-fight-with-student-over-the-constitution/

Last year, Modesto Junior College in Modesto, Calif., ordered a student not to pass out copies of the Constitution. On Monday, the school agreed to a $50,000 settlement and vowed to revise its policies to encourage free speech on campus, a decision officials reached as a result of the student’s First Amendment lawsuit.

$50,000 seems like a drop in the bucket.

Good link. So was the school in this case trying to say that the Constitution contains inflammatory information? Or might reading about the Constitution enrage the people on campus?

He was only allowed to pass out the Constitution in the school's "free speech zone"
gotta love the progressive/liberal mindset that makes up a "free speech zone" on a public college campus.




Sorry, that was from an unapproved media source.

I've asked for an approved list of news sites a couple of time before and never got a reply. It would save a lot of time.

Here's a few that I'm thinking would be on an approved list. We can add to this as needed.

awww, all the wittle hicks are riled up.



Please elaborate.

OP, I am sure you don't understand that the school didn't learn anything, as the money they will pay out is tax-payer supplied. The attorneys will receive 40% of that for taking it on contingency, and parking passes will be raised for all students.

The only thing acceptable here would have been loss of jobs/pensions for any public employee involved, from the top to the bottom.

What the school did was wrong.

But, I'm curious OP, since you support the students' right of the 1st Amendment, are you ok with students watching porn in the computer labs?

"FREE SPEECH ZONE" brought to you by dear leader #43. NO progressive/liberal party leanings found there.

I have no problem with that.

Sex should not be demonized. It is a natural process, so I have no objection.

Male gay or lesbian gay?

I loves me some lesbian gay scenes.

Male gay sex is unsanitary. Think about if the receiver has pinworms. Then the giver has worms crawling inside his penis.

Actually this is a fantasy you are having so the only place they are crawling is in your brain. There is no other place in the universe that disgust can exist except inside your own head. You make yourself disgusted by thinking. The idea of disgusting myself disgusts me. Relax and be happy. I've been in some pretty stinky vaginas and loved every minute of it. One of them gave me the worst sore throat I've ever had. But then, he who tastes knows.

How old are you? You're a global warming denying adult.
I'm 58 years old and don't deny global warming...not sure how you came to that conclusion. Anyway, you seem to have some difficulties with maturity as well as perception...both of which I hope are attributable to petulant youth.

How old are you? Hoping you're relatively young.

I have conducted a number of experiments that demonstrate that when you poke people who have egos attached to moral beliefs that divide things into good and evil, by suggesting they are the ones who are bad, they lash out and strike back. Age doesn't seem to be a factor. But if one is capable of this kind of reaction oneself, how will we condemn it in others. The first requirement, it seems to me would be to address the reality of this fact. I read this somewhere long ago in a book intended to teach wisdom:

Who shouldn't criticize? You. Now the question I have is how do you act in a world where that's all the people do.

Your answer, it would appear to me, is to try to provide a corrective humiliation to induce some increased humility. I hope it works. Hicks are people too.

I'm just trying to figure out a little something about who I'm dealing with and where he's coming from. The leading candidate right now imo is he's relatively young, full of himself, and has not yet learned the importance of humility. This is my hope.
