Rights and protections for me but not for thee.

And if you had a professor that said “Blow up Democrats”...

However, no matter how upsetting and distasteful such comments may be, they are expressions of free speech and protected by the First Amendment unless they represent a true threat. UNCW reviews any perceived threats that are brought to our attention. We have determined that the conduct and now-deleted post at issue do not contain any evidence of a true threat toward any members of our community.

I bet a conservative student posting "Boo!" on social media is seen and treated as a true threat. If they are serious and consistent about 1a rights, then that would be a good thing. That is highly doubtful.

Well of course, because “your community” doesn’t include Republicans.

'How to pick up Jewish chicks':

Vile antisemitic picture shows human remains on a shovel - but Facebook refused to remove it

Facebook has been accused of "enabling vicious Jewish hatred" after telling users an image depicting human remains on a shovel below the tag line "How to pick up Jewish chicks" did not breach its standards.

How_To

Just days after back flipping on its decision to censor an iconic Vietnam War photo of a naked girl escaping a napalm bombing, the social media giant is again under fire over its handling of posts reported as offensive.

In reply to complaints about the shovel image - which was widely shared, "liked" 21,000 times, and received more than 37,000 comments - Facebook said: "We reviewed the post you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn't violate our community standards."

Under its community standards policy, Facebook says it "removes hate speech" that attacks people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin and religious affiliation.

"We allow humour, satire or social commentary related to these topics, and we believe that when people use their authentic identity, they are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary," the policy says.

The image was posted to a page attributed to a Queensland man late last month and shared 2280 times. It has now been removed but tens of thousands of comments, many of which are anti-Semitic, were still visible in the thread as late as Thursday.

A Facebook spokesman said the image was removed for breaching community standards and that the company was still investigating.

But 24 hours after being asked, the spokesman could still not say when the photo was taken down. Facebook could also not explain why only the photo was initially removed and not the entire thread - which is standard when a post is pulled.

Chisel that in a 15' tall granite slab and place it in front of Randall Library.

When anyone starts talking about Republicans, conservatives, etc make them stand in front of it and read it aloud 100 times.

The progs will learn a bit of "speech discipline."

Maybe they thought he was just using some kind of protected homosexual speech.
