Recent events on University of California campuses reveal a growing need for education about students’ constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

Disgregard for Constitutional Rights On UC Campuses

In one instance, University of California, Santa Barbara students allowed feminist studies associate professor Mireille Miller-Young (whose 2013 salary was $77,100) to steal and destroy an anti-abortion poster that constituted speech protected by the First Amendment and displayed in the Campus’ designated “free speech zone,” and to assault the young woman holding the poster.

Sadly, these young skulls full of mush have been led down the primrose path since kindergarten and probably are so imbued with the idea that the government grants you rights and the campus authorities are able to dictate what you can and can not do on campus, they accept the "rules". Originally, I thought the "free speech" zone was the entire country. Guess not.

It’s ironic that the leaders of the California UC system were advocates of free speech, and many of them led or were part of large protests. Now that they have completed their educations, and are now “In Charge” of the system they deny the very rights that propelled them to the top. Maybe it is time for a massive protest against the liberals who run the schools

Not one in ten cares about or understands the Constitution or Bill of Rights. You Tube, Facebook and Twitter. That is where its at.

When I lived in Marin County—just before the 1994 Presidential election I worked for Republican candidates. Every time I put up a “Vote Republican” sign, it was taken down immediately—no matter what time of day or night—no matter how inaccessible I made it. EVERY SINGLE ONE was snatched down as soon as it was put up.

What do they expect from the product of an educational system that wants to remove Benjamin Franklin from the history curriculum?

Burning UC library cards won’t have the same impact as back in the day (mid to late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s) when these asshats burned their draft cards. I was a little too busy at the time because, once you were in, your draft card kinda lost it’s meaning. :>}

“Hate speech” is their excuse for limiting our Constitutional rights. Gays own the state of California and their will be done.

Heck, when we put out our mclame/palin yard sign in Brevard County florida, it was gone in broad daylight within an hour. I figured there wasn’t much point in putting another one out after that. Unless we wanted to try to catch the assclown who didn’t believe we had any first amendment rights. (The ones NOT “granted” to us by the govt.)

Most students have never read the constitution it’s just a word the hear on the news.
