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

A fortress destroyed ceases to be a threat.
Do not forget the difference."

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...
