Just saw this... Seems pretty ridiculous. Any more information or thoughts on this?
YouTube - John Bush Arrested For Protesting Outside Free Speech Zone At U.T. Austin
You know, I saw a lot of people supporting the arrests of Liberals after George Bush created the concept of free speech zones. Where was the outcry from them then?
These were against free speech then, and they are against free speech now. Obama, for all his talk, looks a lot like George Bush.

:lol: free speech zones, ain't that a violation of your Bill of Rights?
Yep. :doh
...
damn, i thought it was mostly hyperbole about rights being stripped away, but ****, this is ludicrous.
"VSU's previous policy restricted the free expression of all "persons wishing to speak on campus" to one small stage, the use of which was restricted to two non-consecutive hours per day-and only on weekdays."
Valdosta State University: Freedom of Expression on Campus Limited to Unconstitutional Free Speech Zone - FIRE
The free speech zone compromises (I think) less than 1% of the entire campus.
Insanity.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The existence of free speech zones is based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time, place, and manner—but not content—of expression.

This is nothing new. When I was in college 15 years ago, we had a free expression area where demonstrations were limited to in order to not disrupt classes.
However, our actual speech was never curbed. We could still say what we wanted anywhere on campus at any time. It looks like this campus has a similar policy...demonstrations in one area, free speech everywhere.
his right to free speech does not trump the property owner's right to determine what activities do or do not occur on its property
which is why he was arrested for trespassing
he possesses the right of free speech
he possesses the right to assemble
but not if the property owner where he plans to present his speech or create an assembly says otherwise
If we are agreeing, then Im changing my position!!!
It's becoming popular in western nations to have free speech zones during big events, like the G20 or olympics. It really sickens me.
It's what we get for letting the courts change the definition of the words in the Constitution to be whatever they want them to mean.
We still have "free speech"..... nobody is chargeing us for any words.
