The fire and brimstone on today’s Christian radio rarely gets above convenience store hand warmer temps. Offensive, really? It seems that this students internal offenserator is set to stun.

I pray for this country.

I’d lay odds the complaining student is majoring in Wymyn Studies or some major involving the term “Genderqueer” in much of the coursework.

That said, I’m sure there are radio stations out there whose content would annoy me. I wouldn’t run crying to the university, though. I’d just tune them out. I don’t begrudge these shuttle drivers the opportunity to listen to something that keeps them entertained while running from point A to point B all week long. I don’t personally see it as the same thing as a guy playing his radio in the office. The law might disagree with me on that, but I don’t see anyone forcing these kids to ride the shuttle bus or their livelihood being potentially disrupted by it.

About the only thing I *would* agree with is the order to keep the volume down to a reasonable level. That’s just good manners, and good defensive driving.

I hope the bus driver gets a little radio with ear phones. He has rights too.

The student made the complaint to university president Lloyd Jacobs on Jan. 26 and said the bus had become "a mobile proselytizing unit." The student said those attending a state university expect to be free from forced religious and political views.

Play this for the fun of it.

If they were playing a station bashing Christianity, capitalism, etc. I can guarantee they would not get a complaint from what I can assume is a Women's Studies or Art type major.

Perhaps we can use this new precedent to get CNN out of airports.

The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

They do??? Have they talked to any current students to see if that was a reasonable expectation? If it is, will all the leftist profs have to stop preaching from the lectern, so to speak?

I was deeply offended that I was taught that Jesus was just a man at my public university.

BAWWWaaahahahahahahah!!!
Free from religion at a College but free from political views? Get friggin real. You are showered in leftist/socialist/communist political views daily at most any College in the US.
And just wait until the muslims get there and then tell us about forced religion!!!

It’s all about choice...don’t want to listen? Don’t ride the bus. College jackasses probably need the exercise...
