National Coalition Calls for Campus Censorship of "Offensive" Speech (washingtonpost.com)
schwit1 writes with this opinion piece from Eugene Volokh, who teaches free speech law at UCLA School of Law, about the push to ban "offensive" speech and censor websites on campus. He writes: "A large coalition of advocacy groups has asked the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights to pressure colleges to (1) punish students for their speech and (2) block student access to certain Web sites — especially sites such as Yik Yak, which allow students to anonymously post their views..... Yet another example of today's Anti-Free Speech Movement for American universities — unfortunately, one that fits well into the Education Department's attitudes. Fortunately, courts have firmly rejected these kinds of calls to restrict college student speech, though the OCR and the college administrations it pressures can get away with a lot of restrictions until the lawsuits are actually brought."
I asked two. Running Deer disagreed and Mr. Patel agreed.
Asian countries for asians.
African countries for africans.

There ya go again, confusing the issue with facts. Can't we just agree that mean ole mister white man is the source of all evil in this world? If only us wicked white american males were gone the world would be all at peace with love and harmony everywhere.
It's "intents and purposes", not "intensive purposes"
No, you fool, it's "all in tents, and porpoises". The porpoises are the ones making that "whoosh" sound you hear.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
See what happens when we ignore the Prime Directive?
I love it when I can start my day with a Star Trek reference.
