She has a point, but I don't think she will win her case. How can you go into court and say I want to hate these people and make fun of them? I would be shocked (happily) if this passes, but I just don't see it. What next KKK going in and saying that they should be able to say different stuff to folks.
You appear to have a straw man here. I didn't read anywhere that they want the right to hate written into law.
>>>....Malhotra said she had been reprimanded by college deans several times in the last few years for expressing conservative religious and political views. When she protested a campus production of "The Vagina Monologues" with a display condemning feminism, the administration asked her to paint over part of it.
She caused another stir with a letter to the gay activists who organized an event known as Coming Out Week in the fall of 2004. Malhotra sent the letter on behalf of the Georgia Tech College Republicans, which she chairs; she said several members of the executive board helped write it.
The letter referred to the campus gay rights group Pride Alliance as a "sex club … that can't even manage to be tasteful." It went on to say that it was "ludicrous" for Georgia Tech to help fund the Pride Alliance.
The letter berated students who come out publicly as gay, saying they subject others on campus to "a constant barrage of homosexuality."
"If gays want to be tolerated, they should knock off the political propaganda," the letter said.
The student activist who received the letter, Felix Hu, described it as "rude, unfair, presumptuous" — and disturbing enough that Pride Alliance forwarded it to a college administrator. Soon after, Malhotra said, she was called in to a dean's office. Students can be expelled for intolerant speech, but she said she was only reprimanded.
Still, she said, the incident has left her afraid to speak freely. She's even reluctant to aggressively advertise the campus lectures she arranges on living by the Bible. "Whenever I've spoken out against a certain lifestyle, the first thing I'm told is 'You're being intolerant, you're being negative, you're creating a hostile campus environment,' " Malhotra said....<<<

It is her right to have a voice and express her opinion. That right is inalienable and no entity or person has a right to prevent or hinder this right.
"What next KKK going in and saying that they should be able to say different stuff to folks."

That said, your comparison of Christianity to the KKK is pretty disgusting.

Where did that message come from?
What an ignorant statement. Nobody is going to court saying I want to make fun of people I hate (although the reporter's bias almost makes the article sound like that).
I did not read of a request to hate "these people" and make fun of them as a part of the legal suit...
