A free-speech advocacy organization has sent Ohio University a letter urging the public institution to suspend rules imposed on fraternities and sororities following hazing allegations.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reports that more than a dozen fraternities and sororities have been ordered not to "meet in any capacity, officially or unofficially," as well as to "reduce conversations to personal topics as opposed to sorority/fraternity operations and updates."FIRE says that affected groups were sent an “FAQ” about the ban, which conceded that there is "no magic number" when it comes to knowing how many students are allowed to convene at once.

Ohio University being a public university is violating the First Amendment.

"But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but I for one am not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"

“What’s the difference?”

And tomorrow’s Headline should be:

Ohio Legislature De-Funds Ohio University completely, close school and seizes land.

8 years of college down the drain.

Ohio U was provided for in the Northwest Ordinance (1787) at the behest/drafting of Thom Jefferson. It was founded in 1804 during his administration. Today, he would now light the torch to burn it down.

In the old Student Union...

I bet they haven’t finished paying for the new buildings and incredible gym yet. Maybe another school will buy the indoor rock wall.

Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.

I hear that Swallwell is also banned from Ohio University because he frats loudly during interviews.
