Thread Name: BS: Free speech- IF they agree with you
Subject: RE: BS: Free speech- IF they agree with you
I didn't want to start a new thread and should probably have posted that to some other thread, but this one seemed okay as it was also dealing with college issues.

Don't put words into my posting or assume anything, BB. I think the professor was being opportunistic and it was too soon to be so graphic in his demonstration. I would have walked out if I'd been in his classroom. These kinds of controversies are not new: Ward Churchill.

That said, I have demonstrated for the right to free speech for folks I didn't like whose lyrics I abhorred, but I defended their right to rap.
