I suspect that MSU speaks with the customary forked tongue.

Weren't the people who pointed their fingers like guns and allegedly used "racial slurs" exercising their free speech rights?

Not with the ‘mandated politically correct double standard anti-hate speech requirements’, comrade.

Off to the gulag with you!

I look at this as positive. Of course the P.C. academic’s are apologizing, but the average person was not buying what these protestors were selling.

As the schools expunge White history, I find it charming that they still get upset when other races have to face issues.

Sick of the phony drama, sick of the hatred, sick of the racism. The calculation that this charade would energize 0bama’s base never did take into account the energy it would give those of us who are sick of him and sick of the Democrats who are running this ridiculous marionette show. How sick may become apparent in two weeks’ time.

Doesn’t the other side have the right to express their free speech right as well?

“does not condone or tolerate the harassment of people who were exercising their free speech rights”

Blacks consider it their civil rights to looting, railroad an officer of the law and thuggery among other things.

chalking outlines and writing ‘stop killing us’ is inflamatory. The students aren’t killing anyone.

speaking of Mike Brown, like son like mother?

Unless they happen to be Caucasian Christians, handing out copies of the Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution, or the Bill of Rights.

And which I predict will be the new narrative once the cop is exonerated. When its proven with forensic evidence that the gentle giant indeed charged the cop, then the next cry from the perpetually offended will be “the cop called him the n-word”, which as we know in modern society means that any retaliation is justifiable.

Mo State is here in God's country (the Ozarks). I'm sure there are a lot of liberal professors but the average citizen would kindly invite the protesters to head back up I-44 to the hell hole they came from.

The Blacks who came over to MSU were not simply “protesting for civil rights”, they were openly threatening to riot and assault people including MSU students if Officer Wilson is not indicted in the Mike Brown incident.

Free speech sure, but if you go out and exercise your right to free speech by threatening others, do not be surprised of the people you threaten exercise their free speech rights with a less than welcoming tone.

I smell BS. With the amount of ACORN thugs and Alinsky disciples roaming around Ferguson I am stating for the record it was a group of Alinky thugs shouting “slurs” and flashing “gun” signs. I also simply do not believe the reports. It is like those jerk democrats who were marching proudly with Pelosi’s big gavel for Obamacare claiming they were shouted at with racial slurs and spit on.
