I am a big
1st Amendment advocate, even when people say or act out something I
don’t agree with to me it is still their 1st Amendment right and
should not be tread on, if they can burn the American Flag and be covered under
the 1st Amendment, they can do most anything as long as it isn’t a
threat, destroys property, or infringes on someone else’s rights. The biggest misnomer
in our society is political correctness; it is the cancer of our society and it’s
advocates have forgotten one very important item with the 1st Amendment
and your constitutional rights; you do have the right not to be offended.
At Modesto
Junior College in California told a student that he could not pass out
copies of the United States Constitution outside the student center on
September 17, Constitution Day. Captured on video,
college police and administrators demanded that Robert Van Tuinen stop passing
out Constitution pamphlets and told him that he would only be allowed to pass
them out in the college's tiny free speech zone, and only after scheduling it
several days or weeks ahead of time. So are you telling me you only have free
speech where this College says? NO, this is a violation of Mr. Tuinen’s
constitutional rights. Any educator or politician who objects to anyone handing
out the US Constitution needs to be fired on the spot or removed from office;
they should never be allowed to educate anyone or run for public office.
At Sam Houston State University
Sensors student on
free speech and threatens them. They had permission to put up a free speech
wall many from all sides wrote comments saying good and bad things which is
what free speech is all about. When someone wrote something negative about
President Obama, a professor took a razor toward the students and cut it out.
Isn’t this destruction of private property? This has nothing to do with
President Obama but the censorship of free speech. Shortly after the police
showed up and threaten the students with criminal charges. This student talking
on the video is an inspiration for others. I thought a professor would want all
views to show all view points; not liberal ones, it is their view or we will
get you. He needs to be fired.
In Aurora Colorado an 11 year old
was suspends for wearing anti-Obama shirt. There were plenty of pro Obama
shirts that were fine but not an anti-Obama shirt. The school says they have
nothing against free speech and didn’t suspend him for the shirt but for “willful
disobedience and defiance”; what for, not removing his shirt. Once again this
has nothing to do with President Obama but the censorship of free speech. This
is why our children are so screwed in the head these days; this was violating
his free speech and censorship but they want you to believe it was about “willful
disobedience and defiance”. We call this where I come from,”Lying through your teeth.
Another student was
suspended for wearing a shirt against illegal immigrants; I’m against illegal immigrants!
I want people to be able to come here and work to make a better life for them
but I want them here legally. A group of California students were
threatened with Suspended for American Flag Shirt on Cinco de Mayo day because
the Spanish student felt disrespected. The History Channel states “Cinco
de Mayo, or the fifth of May, commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over
France
at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively
minor holiday in Mexico…”
So Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with our history and is a “minor holiday” in
Mexico
so why such a big fuss over it and why put it above the American flag? Cinco de
Mayo may be a nice calibration for the Mexican people to refer to their historical
pride and there is nothing wrong with having pride in your history. There is a
problem when another nations pride is put above American pride in America. If you
are of Mexican heritage and want to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, more power too you
but you are now an American, we give you the freedom of speech to celebrate
your holiday with all respect but, Nothing trumps the American Flag in America!
Another
student was suspended and arrested for wearing an NRA shirt faces $500 fine
and year in prison. In this school system once again they tried to play the
liberal game of bait and switch; we are not against freedom of rights but he “willful disobedience and was defiant”
or in common terms, he wouldn’t let us sensor him. This one did have a happy ending because so
many people were outraged that the DA dropped all charges, the
problem is, he and the governing staff in the school system are still there and
will do it again to another child.
As I stated
above, this cancer is in our educational systems and our government at all
levels. I strongly disagree with
what this next guy did but as I said above, I defend his rights to do it.
He is an anti-Christian being very offensive on Palm Sunday in front of a
church but even as much as a dislike this he has the right to do what he is
doing; this is freedom. Another
man was pulled over for an anti-Obama sign on the back of his truck. Once
again this has nothing to do with President Obama but the censorship of free speech.
The cops violated his Constitutional rights but at lease his police chief knew
right from wrong and did the right thing and brought the sign back to him
saying they were wrong. In Texas,
Texas Rangers violate the first amendment of the press. This is unbelievable, I lived in Texas and had a massive amount
of respect for them knowing what they had to deal with but it just went down. A
group of people at our Capital were arrested, their crime, they were dancing; is this
a military state?
The problem is
we people from both sides of our isle violating and making laws to undermine
our Constitution and our freedom. Republican Representative
Thomas J. Rooney sponsored a bill
to limit freedom of speech in direct violation of the 1st Amendment
and his co-sponsor was Democrat
Representative Theodore E. Deutch yet you heard nothing about this on the
news. This shows you we have people in from both sides of the isle in Congress
who hates the constitution and our most noted Constitutional Lawyer, President
Obama violated the US Constitution once again by signing it into law which if
you read, makes Free Speech
a Felony. The house voted 399 yeas to 3 nays and
it was from both sides. I always hear from people “we need to impeach Obama”
but never really paid much heed because you need clear evidence to do this but
here you have it and most of Congress should be gone with him. This is air
tight evidence of a direct violation of the US Constitution by both the Congress
and the President of which they are sworn to uphold.
Do you want to
keep your freedoms including free speech? If you do you need to start voting these
idiots out of office. If we keep letting this type of actions happen and go
unchecked, it will be our children and grand children who will have to suffer. Check out your Congressional person and
see if they are voting in what you believe; if the answer is no, get rid of
them.
You're right, of course. But I never watched any NBC stations in the first place. No great loss. But it is an affront to the Constitution to have such things going on.I think technology has many benefits, but many pitfalls as well. I'm noticing nowadays that some
ReplyDeleteteachers think that putting on a video, or a slideshow, or doing exercises online can replace true teaching.
This isn't the case. Technology should only be used when it supplements one-on-one, real human contact with the student and teacher.
