[history]
A Cal Poly San Luis Obispo student who sued the school for allegedly violating his 1st Amendment rights reached a settlement with the university this week. The school promised to expunge Steve Hinkle's disciplinary record and to pay $40,000 in legal fees.
Hinkle, was reprimanded in November 2002 after students complained that fliers he had posted in the school's multicultural center were offensive.

If several students were distracted from a meeting by the fliers, isn't it actually their fault that they could not sufficiently focus themselves on whatever was their task at hand? Mr. Hinkle is not responsible for anybody else's lack of concentration.

The truth hurts. Sometimes when the truth is boldly put in the face of those to whom the truth apply, The kind of reaction Mr. Hinkle received is inevitable. I am ecstatic he won, but surprised, because it seems being politically correct tends to be the stronger defense than just telling the truth.

Its good to have a story where the good guy wins.

When I attended Cal Poly SLO, I didn't have time to be political. I was too busy studying electrical engineering so that some day I could be unemployed like I am now.

Seriously, the student should get another appearance on The Larry Elder Show.
