To call this a case where you cannot insult the President, is a lie. You cannot publically display profanity.
SWIVE YOU, Hodar!
I'd be willing to bet that very same professor would have wrote "F--k Bush".
You obviously didn’t read the article. Not misleading at all. The ONLY F word this liberal POS professor objected to was the F obama. You are dead wrong about what can be posted.
FUBO
According to the legal precedents cited in the article, you are precisely.....wrong.
I’m not sure what you say is accurate. Did you read the second paragraph. They seem to be okay with using that same verb with regards to, “Nazi punks.” So if the word you are talking about is allowed elsewhere, you can hardly contend that’s the reason it’s being removed.
I appreciate you bringing a bit of sanity to the overwrought histeria.
A relevant quote....
“Take away the power to say “F*CK!”, and you take away the power to say “F*CK THE GOVERNMENT!””. Lenny Bruce
Prof. Kirk does not appear to have been offended by the F-word itself, however only at its use in an insult against the president. Thats the only one he cut out, after all.
FAIL...
From the article:
"But just hours in, the free speech wall was vandalized by a professor yes, a professor! who was offended that someone had written F**K OBAMA on the free speech wall. Students being students, the F-word was written on the wall many times about many different topics, but apparently the only expletive that offended this professor enough to take action was the one referring to President Obama.The police stated that since the professor was offended the students were breaking the law. The professor was only offended by the statement about the President as is indicated by his action of cutting out the word in the statement about the President ONLY!
The article is not misleading. The focus of the article is the fact that the Professor only went after the F word directed at Obama.
If you want to create your own news item and ignore certain facts while putting the emphasis of what happened about something else, then you are free to do so.
I live in an area (deep blue) where “F*ck Bush” is literally graven into the city sidewalk, and has not been removed.
Cannot display profanity?
Obviously you are wrong according to the article which cites several court cases upholding the right to do exactly that.
