Funny how the ACLU is always ready to defend unpopular ideas, but just try and get them to help conservative college students whose positions are belittled in class.

A few years ago at the University of Penna a conservative editorial was not allowed to be distributed by black students. Papers were confiscated by a black faternity, university administrators did nothing. When the conservatives went to the ACLU, they were told there was nothing they would do.

Kinda depends on whose ox is being gored, doesn't it?

Or maybe it depends on whether the institution is public or private. UPenn is a private university, and so the ACLU has nothing to do with it.

From the ACLU's position statement on "speech codes" on college campuses:

"The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Speech codes adopted by government-financed state colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution. And the ACLU believes that all campuses should adhere to First Amendment principles because academic freedom is a bedrock of education in a free society."

Or whose pockets are picked for "student activity fees" so there'll be a
pot of money to bring Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Michale Moore and
other degenerates to lecture on campus.

And enough left over for protests if Hannity or The Minutemen come to campus.
