You would think nobody would object to a poster denouncing arch-terrorist Osama bin Laden. But Pennsylvania's Shippensburg University did. The school said the poster violated a university code prohibiting "acts of intolerance," including racist, sexist and homophobic speech. It wasn't clear where the anti-Osama poster fit into this, but it no longer matters. The school is changing the code after a ruling by U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III, who said the restrictions "could certainly be used to truncate debate and free expression by students." |

However, depicting President George Bush as Hitler is perfectly acceptable... |

As a FACULTY member, I have a 3" x 5" head shot of Osama, mounted right on top of a TARGET that, two years ago for ROTC, I put 5 rounds in the bullseye. The target forms Osama's "body" in this case, and this is TAPED TO MY OFFICE DOOR!
