"A student at Fresno State University is suing his professors for allegedly putting him on disciplinary probation because of his politics, and he has video that he says proves his case."

...

“I can’t think of a reason besides that they just don’t like conservatives, and just don’t like to answer questions on anything.”

...

O'Brien's lawyer, Brian Leighton, says he thinks O'Brien is being discriminated against.

“What these professors can’t stand is that Neil shows up to all these university meetings… and he says what he thinks,” Leighton said.

Victor David Hanson is Fresno State Univ faculty, and he’s in the same boat.

This lad should talk to him.

I know exactly how he feels.

I don’t think there is any law that people can’t be discriminated against on the basis of their political beliefs. This is going to start becoming more prevalent. Right or wrong, it will happen, and I don’t think anyone can do anything about it.

For the click resistant:

Fresno is VERY heavily an illegal alien place in central California, and this white student went into the Chicano Studies dept. to ask about a hate-filled poem published in the school newspaper.

For that they called the cops on him.

“MECHA Boy,” our former Lt, Governor Cruz Bustamante was SB president at Fresno State. Just another one of California’s dung heap “institutions of higher learning.”

“I don’t think there is any law that people can’t be discriminated against on the basis of their political beliefs. “

If a State sponsored school does it, it is most certainly in violation of the first amendment.

If this were a private school that didn’t take Government money I would agree with you.

I remember writing a paper in college on The Odyssey from a conservative point of view, the professor didn’t give me a grade, said I needed to try again, so I changed the perspective to a liberal bent, sure enough I got an A, I hated college, I had to keep bias in mind, I loathe elites because of this, they stifle freedom of thought, they try and punish you via academia if you think conservatively, if you want to graduate, one must keep this in mind, we are at war, it’s a battle between those whom put light for dark and bitter for sweet!

CSU Fresno is pretty right wing as far as the California State University System goes.
