    These articles appeared in our school newspaper, The Ithacan, today:

    The last is an editorial from a brilliant conservative student on campus. Again, the Ithaca College Republicans are grateful for your support!

  • Hate Speech Alleged Against Bay Buchanan @ Ithaca College

    Fellow Conservatives,

    This post is to alert you all to the situation at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York. We brought Bay Buchanan to campus to speak on "The Failures of Feminism". She was tremendous, but now campus radicals are attempting to declare her talk an incident of hate. Not seeing an opportunity there, they have now turned their attention to any future events we may hold.

    From the article: "Rothman said the committee is now looking at scenarios in which a public speech could be deemed a bias-related incident so the committee will be prepared to deal with future incidents like this one."

    Our story has been picked up by Rush and FoxNews and we're hoping to head the libs off at the pass, before they can declare any public speech they dislike to be hate speech.

    From FoxNews.com: When the posters first appeared, the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian Alliance (BIGAYLA), the Student Government Association (SGA) and Students for Women's Empowerment (SWE) immediately demanded that our Republican club be punished.

    "When I saw that flyer, I read it as 'Bay Buchanan is here to hang me,'" said Katrina Baker. She said the "Constitution is irrelevant on this campus. We are [a] private [college]. We do not go by that here." Daniel Baker, president of Created Equal: Allied in Fighting Homophobia, said the poster was in poor taste, "especially in Gaypril when there is heightened risk of violence against the LGB community."

    Any help that you could provide us would be welcomed, we're a young club facing entrenched leftist radicals. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail us at icrepublicans@yahoo.com.

    Conservative blessings,
