This isn't "censorship". Theft of papers is an act of despotism and a supression of civil rights.

Since it was not done under the authority of anyone with the power to LEGALLY make this decision, it is the act of a despot who positioned himself as DICTATOR. If others accept him as dictator (and do not prosecute his power grab) then it is censorship (because he has been granted the authority to do as he wants regardless of the rights of others).

cen·sor·ship - n.
1. The act, process, or practice of censoring.
2. The office or authority of a Roman censor.

A censor must be sanctioned by the powers that be (whether that is an editor, government, etc...). The leftist activists can no more "censor" the speech of someone they oppose than the KKK can "censor" the speech of a minority they oppose.

"Meanwhile, some members of JHU's Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance have filed harassment charges against the Record. The group leveled its complaint against the newspaper for publishing a front-page photo of Alliance members posing with the porno filmmaker. "

If you are too ashamed to be seen with pornographers, stop inviting them to your campus. Total lack of backbone in these hypocrites.

PC thugs think they are untouchable because they have been designated "victims". Yet it's the victim that's throwing all the punches here.

Moronic that they'd claim harassment when they were so proud, say it loud, to pose with a porno producer. It's sick stuff, it's Bizzarro World.
