And they wonder why there are militias?

I imagine copies of Rules for Radicals, the Communist Manfesto and Mein Kampf are acceptable though. After all, it is California.

[Timber Rattler]

Upon arriving at that office, Van Tuinen talks with administrator Christine Serrano, who tells him that because of “a time, place, and manner,” he can only pass out literature inside the “free speech area,” which she informs him is “in front of the student center, in that little cement area.”

So I guess that means that outside the little cement pad, the rest of that Bolshevik institution is NOT a "free speech area."

[Farnsworth]

but communist manifestos were passed out on may day..

passing out condoms is fine, passing out pot is probably okay, but Constitutions are verboten

[IDFbunny]

If I were a college bound youngster I would definitely go abroad. Like maybe a math or engineering degree from Moscow or Berlin U.

[SpaceBar]

The commies will eventually have to be rounded up.

[Gamecock]

Moscow Polytechnical is looking better and better.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

He should have passed out the Mexican Constitution as it would have been more appropriate given the demographics of the region.

i’d keep handing them out. in the location of my choosing.

if they want to arrest me for handing out a copy of the Constitution... on Constitution day... an obvious exercise of my 1st amendment rights, then i’d gladly take them all the way to court

if they can dictate the time and location you’re ‘allowed’ to exercise your ‘right to freedom of expression’... then you have no right

[Billthedrill]

...he would only be allowed to pass them out in the college’s tiny free speech zone...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Henry, but you can't make that Liberty or Death speech here. See that little plot of grass over there? That's the colony's Free Speech Zone. Try not to abuse it or the King shall hear of it."

Payback time's coming. Hope I'm alive to see it.

Wait, What ? They're passing out condoms and pot ?

How come nobady tole me ?

[M Kehoe]

a campus police officer arrived and informed him that any time anything was being passed out on campus it had to be registered with the Student Development office. After unsuccessfully attempting to convince the officer that this would impair his freedom of speech, Van Tuinen went into the student center at the officer’s request...

...and registered the Constitution with the Student Development office. Which then let Van Tuinen distribute the document to students.

Anything less than that is totally unacceptable.

In my day a college kid would have cussed the officer out, continued distributing, and gotten arrested. Ka-ching!

Come to think of it, back then the students were storming the administrative offices of certain CA colleges.

Where are the juvies of yesteryear?

[Little Ray]

What they SHOULD be wondering is why we are not shooting.
Yet.

[oneamericanvoice]

Disgusting. But how many outraged people will do something otherthan stewing in their outrage. It takes action, folks. Call the powers on the various campuses, starting with Modesto. Be polite, but firm. If you are silent, the Left will think that it is okay, and keep on attacking. Don’t make Saul Alinsky smile. Take action!

Needless to say, this communist takeover of American universities first showed its public face in earnest on the Berkeley campus of the University of California in 1964, when Mario Savio held up a sign in Sproul Plaza.

I can't post what it said.

The protests that ensued were called the Free Speech Movement. The rest is history.

For those who are unfamiliar, FIRE has been fighting for free speech and other constitutional rights on college and university campuses for years, usually with great success.

When necessary they have gone to court, and generally won. No doubt they will have an impact on the Nazi scumbag running Modesto JC.
