@#38 – thanks for the info on this. I am still placing a few calls to some people I know still working in the student union there.

I couldn’t believe (it must be a coincidence) that FSU came calling last night looking to update my alumni info and, ask for $ of course. I stated that my support was suspended until I get reassurance that my FSU respects the rights of all students, not just a minority few.

Regarding “Free Speech Zones”… from what I’ve read in news reports, colleges and universities tend to protect people like Ayers from dissenting voices, yet tend to permit dissenting voices for speakers such as Michelle and Sean…if not encourage it.

This should not be surprising, given the significant left bias at these institutions.

Irony? I expect we’ll see the motherlode sometimes within the next 4 years. It’s a rich vein that runs deep in this adminsitration so the rewards should be quite promising. They’re already profitable for OmightyO!

These are the same liberals that idolized that shoe throwing, anti American Iraqi reporter at the President’s press conference in Iraq?

Yet, in a pique of political “correctness,” they allow an admitted anti American terrorist to speak unfettered and unchallenged.

Note the key words in each paragraph: anti American.

I signed up recently to Media Research Center (mrc dot org) which is a respected and well-researched site that sends daily emails about the left wing media’s bias.

I knew the bias was really bad, but this it’s even worse than I thought. Sign up and keep up with what journalism is today. No integrity and certainly no objectivity.

It makes me laugh when the left wing says there’s no bias. Obama would not have won without it. Fox is the only news outlet that presents both sides, and is not selective about what they will allow us to see or hear.

[...] *Ahem*: I told you last month that Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers was invited to speak at Florida State University. The FSU president defended the idea by asserting: “Danger lies not in some speaker’s ideas. Danger lies in teaching students that ideas they don’t agree with are not important.” [...]

Among other good stuff, this group keeps a running tally of ’speech’ codes at universities across the country.

Unfortunately, these free speech zones are at a lot of schools. It seems like campus police/administrators can only go to extremes–on the one hand, allowing protestors to disrupt the actual speech or otherwise cause problems, or on the other hand, corral everyone into ‘zones’ where they can express themselves. There really ought to be a middle ground–people can protest all they want without disrupting the speaker, but if they do, they are dealt with.
