If they were handing out literature on how Obama is the messiah, they would be institutionalized.

“By any means necessary” is the rallying-cry of the communist. They’ve taken over College campuses and are exercising their power to fight for pure evil.

Every G-d-fearing American should be disgusted at how low this country has gone.

More of the “change” we were promised.

Oh yes change...we now have FREEDOM OF SILENCE

[aureliusss]

Lawsuit.

I think these students would own the campus if they brought suit. If we don’t force these institutions to change, they won’t.

[Sybeck1]

Isn’t this Walter Williams school?

[wagglebee]

Yes.

[Doctor Raoul]

SUE!

[YHAOS]

"Isn’t this Walter Williams school?"

Used to be . . .

[Sudetenland]

From what I read, they were not students of the university, merely "student aged, members" of the organization.

As far as I know, college campuses are protected zones and the general public doesn't automatically have a right to be there.

[Arizona Carolyn]

That sucks. I sent National Right for Life a check this morning as a matter of fact.

[DoughtyOne]

That type of policy serves well when you have serious problems on campus. People who are violent, loud, rude, physically or verbally abusive, or causing public disruption, should be rousted per this concept.

All sorts of causes congregate on college campuses though, and they are not limited to students.

If these folks were low key, courteous, and respectful of the campus officers, there was no justification for removing them.

All these kids would have to do is take photos of other groups congregating on campus. They would have a slam dunk case.

We have gone to UCLA on occasion to protest on campus. We are low key and courteous, but we get our point across and aren’t tossed out.

[Gaffer]

And they will be persecuted for their beliefs. They will come to having to meet in two’s or three’s under cover of darkness and hiding, away from their evil masters. They will come to develop ‘sign’s’ between them so that they can recognize one another. A familiar pattern......

[wagglebee]

Very true!

[Sudetenland]

"We have gone to UCLA on occasion to protest on campus. We are low key and courteous, but we get our point across and aren’t tossed out."

Precisely why I feel so cautionary in instantly condemning George Mason U. without knowing more of the facts. I have known some "Young Pro-Life Activists" who, in spite of their "Christian" beliefs, can behave quite boorishly.

I'm not saying GMU behaved either fairly or properly, I'm only cautious in making a snap judgement based on one account from a biased source.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s fair. If the kids were causing problems, I don’t have a problem with them getting the boot. I just wonder if it wasn’t some die-hard women’s rights loon throwing her weight around. We’ll see if anything comes of it.

Take care.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

“Lawsuit.”

I certainly hope so.
