How Free Speech Died on Campus

At Yale University, you can be prevented from putting an F. Scott Fitzgerald quote on your T-shirt. At Tufts, you can be censured for quoting certain passages from the Quran. Welcome to the most authoritarian institution in America: the modern university—"a bizarre, parallel dimension," as Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, calls it.

We're only “prevented” or “censored” to the extent we're weak enough to comply.

Simply point to the extremism the IS permitted, such as the Che shirts, and tell them to get lost.

"The college found the student satirists guilty of "the juxtaposition of weaponry and sexuality."

I thought the libs were always trying to paint firearm owners as people trying to *compensate*. How are they not juxtaposing weaponry and sexuality?

The day the freedom died. So bye-bye, I'll miss American, bye.

Has anyone made a version of "American Pie" (The day the music died. So bye-bye, miss American pie.) Though it was about a plane crash that took the lives of some very popular singers -- IIRC -- that tragedy was in 1959.

The universities of America have degenerated into left wing Marxist run indoctrination training centers where the students are taught little of knowledge but are brought up in new order politics of destructive practices that will destroy our once God blessed country. And their parents are much a reprobate generation as them that have slipped down the slippery slope of self destructive behaviors.Romans 1:

1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Is the death of free speech just a waystation to the death of America?

Is THIS how America dies??

I asked the Fordham College Republicans if they received their 30 Denarii for selling out their honor, name, conservatism and the remains of Catholicism at Fordham on the alter of a weak PC threat. No response.
