Students Sue Fresno State Professor for Violating free Speech
Bogus Times ^ | 5/11/17 | Kim Parkhurst

Two members of Students for Life at Fresno State University have filed a lawsuit against assistant professor of public health, Greg Thatcher, for violating their right to free speech when he and his students erased their pro-life chalk messages off the sidewalk. The pro-life group claimed they had permission from Student Involvement and email as proof. In a video that surfaced, a number of students are seen scrubbing the pro-life messages off the sidewalk with their shoes. When confronted by pro-life members Bernadette Tasy and Jesus Herrera, they reply their teacher, “Thatcher,” told them to do it.

Wow, this makes me HAPPY. More students need to do this. This will make universities avoid lawsuits and stop the madness.

It’s about time that the pushback against these actual fascists began. Not with violence but within the legal system. Beating up the professor would only make him a martyr. Costing him his job and half his income for the next 20 years would be a better message.

A State College is not a free speech area? A classic state sponsored suppression of First Amendment free speech.
This “perfesser” needs to be whacked, but good.

This wont go far. After all, sidewalks are for walking and chalk is for erasing.

Totals look to be about 1 million.

2 women killed in Korea, 8 in Vietnam, 15 in Persian Gulf.
1000 might be high, or maybe not.

“College campuses are not free speech areas. Do you understand? Obviously you don’t understand,” Thatcher tells her.

Oh my.

[...] have filed a lawsuit against assistant professor of public health, Greg Thatcher, for violating their right to free speech when he and his students erased their pro-life chalk messages off the sidewalk.

Somehow, I don't think that anyone has a right to not have his message erased from a public sidewalk.
