(Lake Worth, FL) On Tuesday September 7, 2010 at around 11:00am one Palm Beach State College (PBSC) student and two Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) members, state chairman Daniel P. Diaz and state vice chairman Eddie Shaffer, were shut down and had campus police called on them after tabling and recruiting during club rush at the College. The PBSC student, Christina Beattie, had received prior permission from college administrator Olivia Ford-Morris to promote her organization on campus via telephone and email communication.
On the day of club rush, officials approached the group and after seeing information about the organization and its ideals criticizing Barack Obama’s economic policy. Ms. Ford-Morris was visibly disturbed by the material presented, published by the Heritage Foundation, criticizing President Obama’s administration. College officials then called the campus police to assure the group left campus. Ms. Ford-Morris denied having ever talked to Ms. Beattie about giving permission to the organization to be a part of PBSC club rush.
“I was shocked and offended by her dishonesty. She outright denied giving me permission to table at Club Rush simply because she disagreed with my beliefs! The fact is, she was using her administrative power to silence the conservative opposition.” said Christina Beattie.

There are other ways to get the message out. She should chalk conservative messages on college sidewalks (if other groups are able to do this), She should also put up conservative postings on advertisement boards on campus as well.
Well, I can see that Olivia is a diehard campus commie...
Looks like she made her Facebook page “disappear”...

community college = government action = first amendment rights of speech AND ASSOCIATION!
The litigation should be filed. It should seek money damages from the school and from its decisionmakers and police authorities as individuals and in their professional capacities. It should seek a full range of equitable relief including temporary and permanent injunctions. The students should be prepared to haul the defendants back to court on motions to hold the defendants in contempt each and every time they violate any injunction. Bear in mind that this is a taxpayer-funded government school which has little authority to control the content of speech that administrators do not like. The losing school and administrators also get to pay gargantuan attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing plaintiffs under relevant federal civil rights laws.
Together with the litigation, wage a public relations campaign pledging any net proceeds to fund conservative campus activity and recruiting on campus. Discredit the school's leaders for their civil rights violations against students who dare disagree with them. Publish quality literature for distribution on the campus in question and all similarly situated campuses in the state to show students what membership in YAF can mean by way of facilitating rebellion against school administrators engaged in suppression of free speech on campus.

The people’s battle against liberal fascism is just beginning.
It may be necessary to disembowel our institutions to gainin a victory for our very freedoms.... freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly......all will now be attacked as opposition to our fascists in government grows
at an exponential rate.
We will have to deal with freedom of speech being treated as a subversive enterprise , allegedly organized to create
the dirorder prohibited by our Homeland Security laws. Laws designed to apprehend terrorists in warrentless searches and wire tapping will be used to prevent the exercise of rights guaranteed by the constitution.
We must not relent, we must carry this battle to the liberal fascists and defeat them, chastising them with the most thorough ridicule we can muster, for if we do not, the issue will later be decided with action set by the example of our founders.
Now is the time to begin to act against liberal fascism in public, as the election approaches in about 42 days.
This conservative university group now has its first lesson in the real politik of liberal fascism, and we must cheer them to continue the fight against their persecutors.
Another fat , inhumane , liberal fascist squeeze. What of her resolve? My bet is that they will break and run at the first sign of patriot resolve.
Coming soon to Dhimmi America!
She uses it for the throat move when conservatives force her to go ghetto.
That's how the 'Rats operate. When cornered, they shoot out the lights.
never trust anyone with hypenated names.
Thanks for the first hand experience and insight. I agree 100%. These people must be challenged, or our forefathers have fought and died for nothing.
We have to constantly push back where ever these fascists show themselves.
I see that this liberal fascist acadeic has pulled her Facebook page. The heat is on her, and she deserves all she gets and more.
The funny thing is that she thinks she can lay low, and then it will blow over. A year ago that might have been true, but now? This will hang on to her like a pit bull.
I am SO glad this is on tape. Hope it goes viral.
I guess all of us that get those big envelopes from Heritage Foundation in the mail are flagged as subversives.
Seems like a clear violation of the students' First Amendment rights to free speech and free press, a blatant case of PC enforcement on campus.
