According to a press release issued Monday, “Bunker Hill Community College" has eliminated its unconstitutional restrictions on free speech that prevented Navy veteran Jeff Lyons from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution...... Additionally, the Massachusetts Community College System, which includes Bunker Hill, has agreed to review similar problematic policies at 6 of its other campuses.”
This was the modern battle at Bunker Hill where a Navy veteran was told he needed permission to hand out copies of the very document he risked his life for,” said YAL President Cliff Maloney. “Free Speech does not require a permit and we applaud Bunker Hill Community College for changing their unconstitutional speech policies.”

I suspect that all these folks did was open the tide gates to every Leftist that wants to flood the school campus with anarchist materials.
I do applaud this group’s win, but I wonder if it won’t be a Pyrrhic victory.
The issue is free speech, so I guess this is what you get with that.
Barely winning. Fighting to regain any inch of ground stolen from us.
Ann Coulter once said (and I think it is a brilliant comparison) that liberalism is like a one way ratchet, ground lost is rarely regained.
I often think the battle against Leftism is like soldiers that have to man the walls in a besieged castle. They have to have 24x7 sentinels, ready to fight back all the time.
The besieging forces simply bide their time, probe here, probe there, send troops home for rest and recreation, have campfires with drinking, etc.
I feel the same applies to Leftist assault on a moral and free society.
You think that leftists hadn’t already been doing that?
Sure on most campuses, but I’m not sure if they were doing it here. It is possible, as you point out. This may have been a very selective situation on the campus.
