New Email At Mizzou Orders Students To Call The Police If They’re Offended
Daily Caller ^ | 11/10/15 | Blake Neff

Posted on 11/10/2015 3:27:26 PM PST by markomalley

As tensions at the University of Missouri continue to rage, the college’s police department has sent a new email to students advising them to call the police if they witness any incidents of “hurtful speech.”

The email arrived in the inboxes of Missouri students Tuesday morning, and copies of it were quickly posted on Twitter.

MU’s police essentially tell students to make a criminal report of any hurtful behaviors (complete with license plate numbers, photos, and more), even though they freely acknowledge that hurtful speech is not a crime. But the email says that doesn’t matter, because the school could still take disciplinary action against students.

Missouri officials may be overreaching tremendously, though. As a public university, the University of Missouri is bound by the First Amendment, which guarantees the right to free speech. Court rulings on such matters have repeatedly held that public colleges cannot punish students for otherwise legal speech and expression they engage in outside of class.

The email continues what has become a chilly environment for free speech and expression at MU. A viral video posted Monday circulated on the web showing a gang of students, led by communications professor Melissa Click, attacking a cameraman attempting to cover on-campus protests in a public area.

What does it mean if your account has been banned or suspended, but you can still post?

It means he put the following code on his profile in order to punk you:

They have equated being offended with being unsafe. And the authorities are going along with it.

Utter BS.

Does that apply to the "f-word?"

Didn't think so.

It’s nicknamed Mizzou, but it really IS Miz-ZOO now.

Every single Mizzou student should file a report on these leftist agitators. Let them chew on that. Swamp the campus police with this nonsense.

As I see it, this sad generation will soon meet their enemy, soft, unprepared, expecting sensibility and there will be more hurt than just feelings. The enemy is well honed eager for battle, armed to the teeth and full of hatred, they will be radicalized Islamists and will decimate them.

If the lie was in fact a half truth, would that be considered as a 500 nano lie?
