HIDEOUS.
I realize this will become the minimal norm. But we must do what we can to prevent such as long as possible.
Absolutely outrageous.
The mystery for me is this:
If I see a gathering and I don’t like what I am hearing, I move on.....walk away.
In these instances, why don’t those opposed do the same?
Free speech for thee, but not for me?
HUmm
Off campus group
Message not recieved? maybe if they read thier own Bible, they could have avoided the whole of the problem....
Matthew 10:14
14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
Mark 6:11
11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them.”
Luke 9:5-6
5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Luke 10:11-12
11 Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Acts 13:51-52
51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 7:6
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Of course, YMMV.
Kutztown? That’s some sleepy territory, not far from me. Church on every corner. (And not too many sharp corners!) Pretty scary if they’re harassing Christians in Kutztown!
You continue to have free speech, so long as you only speak speech that is approved speech.
Totalitarianism.
As a matter of law, schools have the right to demand that off-campus groups not conduct demonstrations ON CAMPUS.
It’s state property, but you can’t camp out on campus, or the governor’s office, just because you want to.
Yes, you have free speech rights, but their are property rights too. You may not like it. It is the law.
All very true.
But the issue here is the SELECTIVE application of free speech to only those who attack American, God, and our cultural norms.
This went on back in the 1960’s when I was in college and graduate school, but has become far more aggressive in its implementation recently.
Most college students arrive on campus with their minds tabulae rasae. They are systematically brainwahed by the radical Bolsheviks who have gradually infiltrated college faculties and administrative circles.
To stop this we need to cut off all funding to insitutions of “higher learning” which pracise this kind of behavior and target for removal those professors who make a career out of warping young impressionable minds.
If other groups are allowed on to propagandize but Christians aren’t, it’s against the law.
Much agree.
Thanks.
The signs posted on walls were different and the campus added some building with a Crescent on the roof - I assume it’s a muzzie study center.
The kids I knew pertty much had their minds made up before they went to school, but I can’t speak for the fuzzy schools (PolySCi and the like). Chip heads were different then and are today.
If a group of (Christians, muzzies, Moonies, whatever) get a cold shoulder, they should cut their losses and leave. The more clueless are assisted by the local Gendarmes.
They have the right to say what they want...it’s not a matter of shaking the dust. They had a right to speak.
From the story it sounds like these ‘preachers’ were as popular as Fred Phelps & his traveling Zoo. Would you support old Fred and his free speech?
To end, one persons call to Faith may be viewed as 'hate speech' by another, it just depends on where you stand. I believe the police officer thought he was defusing a situation that could have quickly gotten out of hand, and someone injured.
I guess next time he should wait until someone gets a busted head, 'eh?
Bet many of the universities they visit were started by Christians to train ministers and missionaries. VERY sad.
That’s a matter for redress in the civil courts, via litigation. It’s not a green light to break the law.
Just because cops do not stop every speeder does not mean you can speed.
Sorry, it’s the law.
And thus it begins!!! or continues!!!
The law is,
if some off campus special interest groups get to propagandize, speak, distribute literature . . . then it must be a level playing field for all nonviolent groups to do the same.
That’s THE CONSTITUTION.
Do you have a problem with that?
WACO taught the government thugs that it’s ok to do whatever you want to U.S. citizens...
It’s OK to hate Christians. - Book 1 Verse 1 of the Gospel of Liberalism.
