apparently Mario Savio and the Free Speech movement died in vain… at least in North Carolina… would the appropriate punishment be to make the offender cross dress for 10 days and try to figure out which is the appropriate bathroom?
Sooo…if Trump is invited to spew his hatred, students will need to sit on their hands and muffle their voices?
So, according to Forest, some speech is free-er than others and WILL BE RESPECTED. Any one who has a problem with their “free speech” will have their freedom of speech taken away.
North Carolina: get rid of these aholes, please!!!
Margaret Spelling for the President of NC University? Aw, jeez, you people couldn’t have done much worse. I feel sorry for the staff and the students. The Republicans in NC really are evil sumsabitches – and deserve to be taken down.
I’m trying to figure out just how this would work. If someone is asking a long question that the speaker at an event doesn’t like, and the speaker cuts them off, does the speaker go to jail? If A police officer tells a student to stop drawing a picture of a penis on a free-expression ball, does the officer go up on charges? What if there’s a silent protest, such as a walkout or hundreds of people turning their backs, and the speaker is so upset that they can’t continue?
This seems to be begging for arbitrary and capricious enforcement.
It’s that terrible “public” that needs to be stopped at all costs.
Governor Cooper can’t be sworn in fast enough.
Would it still apply if a group invited someone who was LGBT? Would that person’s speech be protected?
Neither Forest nor his staff “have articulated to us directly why he feels such a law is needed or sought our input on a draft bill,” said Joni Worthington, a spokeswoman for the public university system.
Yet another Republican solution in search of a problem.
Unless they used the wrong bathroom.
What if they blocked people on Twitter for saying nasty things to them?
NC Lt. Guv: “You vil sit quietly und you vil Applaud ven told to! Seig Heil!”
Why do Republicans hate the Constitution so much?
Why not just go full Kent State on them?
Haven’t these asshole politicians done enough to hurt the state of North Carolina?
The thought police will come after the hecklers exercising their own free speech; and then new thought police will come after the first group of thought police; and on and on in an endless regression.
My god, these people are so utterly fucking ridiculous.
Conservatives are mentally ill. No two ways about it.
You know, I don’t think it ever occurred to these guys that the First Amendment was designed specifically to protect the hecklers, not the “approved” speakers.
The erosion of The Constitution gaining speed…
Goddamn we have a bunch of dumb asses leading, or should I say, in high level offices in NC right now!
