Since no one else posted just what “under fire” meant, I’ll take the liberty. Certainly hope their Lt. Gov., follows through on this:
“”Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder issued a statement today about the treatment of photographers and reporters. On Sunday I stood by the rights of protesters to have their voices heard while also urging the need for governance by University of Missouri leadership. Today, I’m standing for another First Amendment right, the freedom of the press. Actions on Monday by University faculty and staff to infringe on students’ First Amendment rights directly contradict what is taught at our universities. This incident must be examined, and if found necessary, disciplined.
Faculty and staff cannot be allowed to pick and choose which rights, viewpoints and freedoms they respect. I renew my call to restore law and order on campus, so the rights of all are protected. The University of Missouri is funded by taxpayers. It is imperative that it be a place where freedom is paramount and all voices are heard.””
“Faculty and staff cannot be allowed to pick and choose which rights, viewpoints and freedoms they respect.” Interesting statement. Wonder if 2nd amendment rights will also be respected.
