I bet if they had insulted President Bush that would not have been a problem

This is a misleading article. The object that was removed was the word "F*CK". When you use profanity to express an idea - you are not conveying an idea, but are creating at atmosphere of obscentity. A professor protested to the "F..k Obama" note someone wrote; and removed the offending topic. This being a college wall, full of the maturity and social conduct typical for many college-age kids - this word was used repeatedly. As this is a misdemor, each incidence of this word had to be removed - and rather than remove every incident; the students removed the "Free Speech" wall.
To call this a case where you cannot insult the President, is a lie. You cannot publically display profanity.

You obviously didn’t read the article. Not misleading at all. The ONLY F word this liberal POS professor objected to was the F obama. You are dead wrong about what can be posted.

Still bothers me when i see the “f” word in print in a non-smut mag. See it lots in college online papers.

Maybe the professor was trying to make that exact point. Pretending to only being offended by the slur on Obama. I read the whole article, and learned a little case law.

"To call this a case where you cannot insult the President, is a lie. You cannot publically (sic) display profanity.
According to the legal precedents cited in the article, you are precisely.....wrong.
To: Hodar
I’m not sure what you say is accurate. Did you read the second paragraph. They seem to be okay with using that same verb with regards to, “Nazi punks.” So if the word you are talking about is allowed elsewhere, you can hardly contend that’s the reason it’s being removed.

I appreciate you bringing a bit of sanity to the overwrought histeria.

in some parts of the world, insulting those who govern earns you swift punishment, or at least official censorship. That isnt the case in America

This never would have happened at my college, I went to a little place called “F.U.”

No doubt some prog troll has already sent a photo series of the wall to the President’s “AttackWatch” website !
BTW, perhaps students ought to try linking circumcision of their 1st amdenment rights to professors’ tenure ! Now that ought to keep the “ivory tower idiots” busy and out of mischief ! >PS
