It's time to push back...hard.

Universities have every right to enforce their own code of conduct. Just as you don't have the right to speak "freely" at work...

The First Amendment protects speech against the government. It is not a license to say what you want, whenever you want, and wherever you want.

This was my school so
I have an ax to grind here

This is an Engineering School
It cranks out excellent Engineers
This is its task, it is viciously difficult.

It has no business espousing one way or another
Political movements, religion, orientation issues, etc.
Metaphysics, politics, and social issues are for mere mortals

All this should be a null hypothesis to an Engineer.
Calculus, Physics, Fluid dynamics, and Transport theory
Should be enough for this environment,
And the rest, for the time, merely a distraction

Georgia Tech should know better...

Nothin' wrong with gays, every college or university should have one.

I am a firm believer that sexually based politics of any sort deserves a rapid destruction by any means possible.

Responding this week to a federal lawsuit filed by two students against the Georgia Institute of Technology, state attorneys said the public university’s policies do not limit the free speech rights of those who oppose gay rights.

"Gay Rights"

? ? ?

Is the university upholding "gay rights" when there is no such animal?

Do the state attorneys contend they are attempting to balance the nonexistent absurd construct of "Gay Rights" with what are Constitutionally guaranteed rights of free speech?

Maybe the state attorneys do not see the forest for the trees when objectively they are in essence stating that the State of Georgia via the Georgia Institute of Technology prefers the homosexual version of free speech OVER that of others -going so far as to misrepresent speech opposing homosexual activity as speech opposing the leftist construct termed "Gay Rights"...

Are the State Attorneys whacko? The State should lose this case hands down...

>>Tech does not "prohibit or restrict expressive speech or activity by students or their organizations. Students, faculty and friends of Tech have the right to make statements as they please in the public areas without fear of reprisals," Assistant Attorney General Tamara J. Wayland wrote in court documents filed May 10 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.<<

Not that they didn't try to. When I was business manager of the Georgia Tech two guys from my fraternity who did the heavy metal show. They used "Back door man" as the music for AIDs promo and then that night they said something like "I hope all you faggots are ****ing each other in the butt tonight."

The Dean of Students freaked out and my frat brothers were fired by the Station General manager before morning.

My brothers went to the ACLU and before I knew what was happening the Station was ordered by the dean's office to reinstate them. This would be the same dean who had demanded they be fired in the first place.

And that is the true story of how the Georgia Tech policy of not interfering with student speech about homosexuals came about.
