While I'm certainly not a legal scholar, I think the rights guaranteed by the Constitution cannot be undermined by lower level governments or agencies.

For example, local Courts cannot compel a defendant to testify against himself. The rule holds in all Courts, not just Federal Courts.

Likewise, I don't think that the State government can abridge the freedom of lawful speech. I believe that expulsion from the University of Oklahoma based purely on socially objectionable speech is unsustainable.

If the U of O were a private institution, it could do as they please, but this is a publicly supported institution and therefore has to completely observe the First Amendment.

Olivia has apparently suffered the indignity of strange fruit somehow...I wish she’d elaborate

She is quite worked up

The other night night she espoused a severe beating of the boys by black men would be justice

I told her that was already pretty damn common as well as white women exponentially disproportionately raped by black men

Aren’t we punished enough as is

It would be fun to know her personal story but race baiters here never are forthcoming

They just preen with indignation

I’ve seen same thing 15 years here

The good thing is they are far fewer in number Now
