King said it was "his duty as a paying student" to take down the pro-life display.

The pro-life students notified campus Protective Services and, when an officer arrived, most of the students stopped vandalizing the display. However, King did not stop and claimed, "The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols."

Liberals are all about choice UNTIL you choose differently than them.

[holden]

I guess we all knew that claimed desire for "diversity" was a big lie, eh? It's always nice to see confirmation from their leadership.

Ah yes. More tolerance from the Left on public display.

[RexBeach]

I wonder what is the duty on a non-paying student? Holding one’s breath until blue?

OMG, there are a lot of strange people in Wisconsin universities.

If I were the mother of this Roderick King he would be paying way through school & be wise to not visit home for a long time. What a disrespectful little twerp.

[messierhunter]

So when can we expect to see King arraigned on charges of property destruction? Oh right, never, because his actions were "protected free speech." From the story link:

"Jacobsen was charged with theft, criminal mischief and criminal solicitation but those charges were dropped after a court demanded that she apologize. Beforehand, she defended her actions and when the vandalism came under scrutiny, she encouraged the students not to talk to police and to get their own attorneys."

So vandalism of pro-life monuments is punishable by... an apology?! This scumbag libtard professor Jacobsen should not only have been charged wtih criminal mischief, but obstruction of justice as well for encouraging her "students" (legitimized gang) from talking to police. Apparently, if you're pro-life it's not protected free speech, but it is if you're desecrating a pro-life display.

"The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols."

Uh huh. Makes you wonder how he feels about burning the flag.

[moonpie57]

So...I guess it’s ok for us to approach folks protesting and rip apart their signs, etc. Oh man, could you imagine the riot that would ensue along with the outcry over conservatives trampling on their freedom of speech?

From the article:

"Hawkins [Kristan Hawkins, the executive director of SFLA, Students for Life of America] said SFLA is calling on pro-life advocates to contact University of Wisconsin -Stevens Point Chancellor of Student Affairs Linda Bunnell asking for Roderick King to be removed from the Student Senate. Contact Bunnell at 715-346-2123 or email her at lbunnell@uwst.edu ."

This post (<-click) shows how corruption in the USSC since the days of FDR arguably led to the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion.

[USMCPOP]

How do you think he’d react if it was the folks with the “Eyes Wide Open” display of combat boots and civilian shoes, or crosses with all our fallen troops names on them?

He displays disgusting ignorance and a complete lack of tolerance ...

[popdonnelly]

Student governments at universities are generally composed of self-absorbed leftists.

[MEGoody]

They were just exercising their right to free speech. :sarc:

Here’s a live version of your thread.

[Dr. Sivana]

There must be something about being named “Rod King.” Can’t we just get along?

[Brad’s Gramma]

No offense to Wisconsinites.........but this doesn’t surprise me. That state is (for the most part) HORRIBLY liberal.

He wrote a letter to the editor in the local paper there.

From Letter: UWSP anti-abortion display was wrong

On May 1, 2008, I removed the crosses from The Pointers for Life display. I felt that this display was disrespectful and for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, allowing this kind of display in the confinements of an educational setting was more than wrong.

There are a number of reasons for which I took it upon myself to remove these crosses (I did not destroy any of them nor did I cut any of their signs). After speaking with several students pertaining to this display on April 30, 2008, I was informed that a few other groups on campus were being questioned regarding their involvement in the construction of this display. The responsible organization was later asked to put up a sign that identified them. My understanding is that any student organization reserving spaces on campus must do this.

The Pointers for Life organization, has come before the Student Government Association (SGA) and asked for my resignation, suggesting I am more than a mere student on this campus, but someone who should be held to different standards.

The Pointer for Life's grievance against me as a UWSP student senator is that I was not representing the student body. On the contrary, many students agree with my actions. The fact is that Pointers for Life's real motivation to demand my resignation is based on our opposing views about abortion.

Further, I was not acting in the name of UWSP Student Government Association, but as an individual who believes one person's right to freedom of speech stops when it infringes on another person's right to a secular education.

He doesn’t even know the difference between a secular education and an insular education.
