Pro-life advocates, pro-family organizations, and traditional Christians do not expect to get a fair shake in the media, but the dogged, seasoned journalists of the prestige publications have overlooked a disturbing new trend: an increasing number of left-wing activists claim that destroying or defacing other people’s property is part of their First Amendment “free speech” rights. At LifeSiteNews.com, I have reported on the desecration of a pro-life display at Western Kentucky University. After a campus pro-life group got university permission to set up 3,700 crosses to represent the number of children aborted every day, a student named Elaina Smith placed...

Highland Heights, KY -- Six pro-abortion students charged with vandalism in the destruction of a pro-life display at Northern Kentucky University will have the charges dropped and be required to perform community service as a result of their actions.

The exhibit was accompanied by a sign explaining the demonstration. Miss Jacobsen was photographed stomping on and destroying that sign, and she, along with the students whom she incited to destruction of property, ripped up, destroyed...

She graded papers so harsh even the writing center told me I would have problems, but tests were a breeze. she is a ****en idiot. do not, i repeat, do not take her I had...

News of the email is surfacing just hours after Northern Kentucky University professor Dr. Sally Jacobson issued an apology for her actions.

[Kathryn Jean Lopez 04/17 10:28 PM] Statement by NKU President James C. Votruba April 17, 2006 I am writing to comment on the recent destruction of an approved campus display created by the Northern Kentucky Right to Life student organization. One of the important roles that a university must play is to be a forum for debate and analysis concerning the important issues of the day. Often these issues are surrounded by strident rhetoric and strong emotions which makes it even more incumbent on the university to create and nurture an intellectual environment in which reason and evidence prevail and...

A Liberal Professor of Northern Kentucky University violated not only State Constitution, State laws, Federal Constitution, Federal and state hate laws, 1st Amendment violations, and Criminal Vandalism laws, but also forced her students, during class, to also violate every law in the book because of her personal politics, hatred, bigotry, and genocidal inclinations. She had her students destroy a Pro-Life demostration because she did not agree with it.. how's that for left-wing tolerance? It's the typical Liberal Hyprocracy, Do what I order you to do, but anything I do is fine. Here is the story from the Northern Kentucky University...
