The RNC and DNC share the first prize for enforcing "free speech zones" at their conventions. I love it.

It is deeply disturbing to see how many schools are on that list. The more I read about this the more I realize the reason so many aren't bothered by erosion in their 1st amendment rights is simple. They have been trained from a young age not to be.

The video that went with the Empty Gun holster ban made me laugh. "If you see an empty gun holster, you don't know if there's a gun in there or not." She just keeps appealing to random emotions and she isn't even doing it right. "Those empty holsters could have caused a panic!" Except they didn't in the 599 other schools that had people partaking in this protest...

If you see an empty gun holster, you do know that there is not a gun there... otherwise it would not be
empty.
So silly.
Freedom of speech requires constant vigilance and struggle, unfortunately.

Err yes you do. Seriously how stupid do you have to be to claim something like that?

The gun might be invisible!
