There's been a big victory over San Francisco State University--a court has ordered it not to enforce its speech codes. Here's the genesis of the whole thing: "The lawsuit—brought by the SFSU College Republicans and two of the group’s members—came after the SFSU College Republicans were put on trial by a campus tribunal for stepping on makeshift Hamas and Hezbollah flags as part of an anti-terrorism rally they held in October 2006. Despite having the power to dismiss the charges at any time, SFSU dragged the plaintiffs through a five-month investigation and hearing before ultimately clearing the group of baseless “harassment” charges. The plaintiffs’ lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, asks the court to hold SFSU accountable for unlawfully mistreating the plaintiffs on the basis of their constitutionally protected expression and to strike down several unconstitutional speech codes at SFSU and in the CSU System."
What's especially unbelievable here is that undoubtedly the same persons who sought to prosecute campus Republicans for stepping on Hamas and Hezbollah flags...
...would gladly defend the right to burn a U.S. flag. Hypocrites.
