The good guys finally win a round.I'm just curious how this judge got past the liberal democrats and was put on the bench we need to find out soon.

[BenLurkin]

The lefties couldn't shop around for a pinko judge in that circuit.

There are so many out here for whom the imposition of "thought crime" is not only constitutional but actually desirable.

Must one get a lobotamy BEFORE becoming a college administrator or can it be done AFTER getting the job?

Our universities are nothing more than a mind control machine - enforcing their liberal agenda and requiring all who are to come and learn also to speak and espouse the liberal and racist agenda.

You mean it wasn't the ACLU who was leading the defense of free speech? I'm shocked!

[Blood of Tyrants]

If only we could attribute it to simple stupidity or ignorance. IMHO it is EVIL that drives their motives and policies.

FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and due process on our nation's campuses.

From this description I suspected that FIRE was a lefty organization, so I went to their website. They do seem to be the good guys.

"...the scandal of unconstitutional campus censorship at public colleges and universities,"

"Public" is to key word in this issue.

"Shippensburg University: A proud member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education" according to their web site

Otherwise, the courts, ACLU, Democrats, Republicans, NCAA, whomever, have no legal standing on this issue.

[=Intervention=]

Good point. Private organizations and their regulations and actions are left untouched, as they should be.

bump for the after 5 o clock crowd

[fishbabe]

do you know what happen to that kid in calif i believe,who got nailed because he put up a poster for a conservative talk and then he refused to say sorry to all the whiny babies who go there??????

[BenLurkin]

He was a guest on the Larry Elder radio talk show a couple weeks ago. Legal action was still pending at that time.

President Ceddia's oppresive regime remains. I was "attacked" by Ceddia and the University after proceeding with a Civil Suit against an Absentee Slumlord whose attorney happened to work for the University and whose company was listed on their off-campus website. In an attempt to "aid me in the completion of my education at Shippensburg," they ordered a number of parameters with my continued enrollment all of which were slanderous and unfounded.
-A no trespassing order for the University's campus (WHILE I WAS ATTENDING)
-A required psychiatric evaluation (despite the psychiatrist employed by Shippensburg University stating that in his professional opinion, the parameters were detrimental).
-Required to cease all internships/independant studies related to the lawsuit and enroll only in general education courses.

I'm still fighting, FIRE is considering my case, but the Landlord and University continue their crime's against University Students and the Community.

Anyone who has any idea of how to put a stop to this (I'm 21 years old and have not attended law school, yet continue to do 100% of the legal work involved), please feel free to contact me.

Seems like it is always before. Even at Texas A&M (a school with a conservative student body) we have a faculty and administration that actually votes more liberal (proportionally) than U.C. Berkley. They're so far off in left field but thankfully controlled by the millions of dollars donated by former students. They can only pull so much liberal crap before the $$$ would disappear.

You have my blessings to do so and I will give you my email address if you do.
