The head of a conservative student organization at DePaul University has been sanctioned by the university and could be expelled after he released the names of vandals who destroyed a pro-life flag display.

Kristopher Del Campo, the chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom chapter, was found guilty by the university on two counts – “Disorderly, Violent, Intimidating or Dangerous Behavior to Self or Others” and “Judicial Process Compliance.”

The charges were a result of posting a copy of the university’s incident report on the YAF’s website.

Last January Del Campo and other pro-life students received permission from the university to erect a pro-life display featuring 500 flags. Vandals later destroyed the display – stuffing a number of the flags into trash cans.

On Feb. 5 the national Young Americans for Freedom organization posted the names of the vandals on their website. The posting generated negative comments directed at the vandals – and the university held Del Campo responsible.

The university’s public safety department launched an investigation and eventually identified 13 students who confessed to the crime. Those names were then released by the university to Del Campo.

The thirteen students that confessed to the crime vandalism and destruction of private property have no right to expect that their names would be kept confidential. When one commits a crime one should expect notoriety when their commission of the crime is discovered.

The college administration released the names for all intents and purposes they published the names of the perpetrators and any undesirable consequences of that act can be laid at their feet.

The YAF acted as could be expected. Any claims that they acted inappropriately is facetious on its face.

Criminals have can have no right to have their criminal acts kept secret by anyone.

I’d google those names to get the lame humor. ;-)

The DAFT Blog
The DePaul Alliance for Free Thought (DAFT) is the official organization for atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and humanists at DePaul University.

Amanda Stefanski is a member of Feminist Front. It’s great that the atmosphere of the university allows us to connect with other progressive campus organizations.

Several pics of her on the blog.

Here is an excellent commentary on the event:

http://thefire.org/article/15399.html#sthash.FsDGZGlt.dpuf

To give you an idea how the left thinks:

“I had planned on ending this blog entry right there. Then I read to the bottom of the page, to the comments, where “Maria” had posted a reply arguing that removing the flags was also an act of free speech.

“I would just like to point out that taking down the flags was just as much of an act of freedom of speech as putting them up were. I think for a man (Kris) to push his views on a college campus, where many women do not believe a man has any right to say one way or another what to do with their bodies, he got what he deserved. The students showed their right to activism in the opposite but same way as the DePaul YAF chapter did. They made a bold statement by putting those flags up, and a bold statement was made in return by taking them down. It [may] have upset YAF, but that was in no way shape or form vandalism. Vandalism at DePaul is detrimental damage to any building or piece of property. The flags were on school property but not a part of the school’s property, and they were not shredded to pieces, they were simply thrown in the trash by students making a statement just like YAF was. To have students punished for making the same but opposite statement as YAF would be destructive to the college atmosphere, and how we are encouraged to question, think, and grow here has young adults. Nobody made a big fuss when they were put up, there should certainly not be a fuss made because someone made their own statement by taking them down.”

Maria is obviously going for an advanced degree in Sophistry.
