How can this lawmaker want to violate the right to peaceably assembly and their right to freedom of speech? That they receive scholarships has not bearing on their constitutional right to peaceably assemble and voice their opinion.
Just another example the rightwing support for Nanny State Big Govt and opposition to the free market
Yeah, you'd want to sit in your box seat and get your money's worth, right?
why? It's not going to change my position. If it is the University's money or the University controls the money the state has every right to say how the money is going to be used. If it doesn't then the state doesn't have that right. You want to operate from the position that it's likely the University doesn't control the money, fine, I'm still going to operate that in all likelihood the University does control the scholarship money. I think we're on the same page here you just seem to refuse the option that the state can under any circumstance control of the donated scholarship money.
can you explain how this post makes any sense? Or were you just being extremely pathetic in your attempt to throw some partisan whining in here?
It's clear that you think it's appropriate for the govt to tell private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the govts diktats
Is that so?
What about what I have tells you this?
Aside from you saying you think it's fine to have the govt tell private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the govts diktats you have said nothing about how you feel about the govt telling private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the govts diktats
This is clearly against the students 1st amendment rights. Unconstitutional and illegal action by the University.
OMG Its "Dictates" not "diktats".....
And please, quote me where I have said I think it is fine to have the government tell private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the government's dictates.

Read more @: Missouri Lawmaker Wants To Revoke Scholarships If Athletes Protest
Refusing to play for any other reason other than health? :shock: Also as pointed out in the article and the article linked, the money used for athletic scholarships at Mizzou is not state money, its privately donated money, so why is the state legislature getting involved in this at all if it does not affect state resources? [/FONT][/COLOR]
I don't know if scholarships require* that the student perform practices, games, etc., with no exceptions for social justice causes, but if they don't now they just might from here on out.
*-Barring legitimate injury, or something like that.
Social Justice... bah!.... what a load of crap
Exactly. If I am providing money that goes to you so you can get a free education while I also receieve a quality football match and I have said money to spend to ensure this happens then this is what I expect to happen.
If I spend money at a McDonalds to get a McRib, I expect to get a ****ing McRib.
Well, at least you are honest in your crassness.
Football match. Tennis has matches. World soccer has matches. In the US, we have football games.
I'm with you on this one. There's a time and a place for everything, and one's commitments mean something, too. I get, and fully support, the concept of civil disobedience, and this was a form of civil disobedience. With civil disobedience there are consequences, so if it means that much to the person they should be more than willing to suffer the consequences for their conviction. If they don't think the consequences are acceptable, then the issue really wasn't that important to them.People don't donate money for athletic scholarships for the hell of it...... they do so in order for their team (usually their alma matter) to be capable of acquiring talent so that the team can be successful.
If I were donating scholarship money directly for an athlete (as opposed to a school athletic scholarship trust as mentioned), you better believe I would have a freaking contract related to said scholarship that involved them freaking playing for the team and not skipping out to participate in bull**** cry baby protests.
I really don't see what the problem is... its no different than people crying out that they deserve to be paid while on strike or protesting rather than doing the work asked of them for the salary agreed to.
It's clear that you think it's appropriate for the govt to tell private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the govts diktats
I don't see the government telling private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships.
And it doesn't matter whether the University controls the scholarships or not. (they don't btw: on their website they provide help in how to get a scholarship and that includes a link to several organizations that give out scholarships, but not once did I find where they actually give out scholarships personally). What does matter is that the University can accept or decline the acceptance of a scholarship. Does the University have the power to refuse acceptance of scholarships? If they have that power then do they also not have the power to revoke the acceptance of scholarships?
That's not what I said
It's clear that you think it's appropriate for the govt to tell private individuals that they cannot provide scholarships unless they follow the govts diktats
Scholarships are money. If a uni accepts an applicant as a student, then it can't refuse their tuition money unless it comes from an illegal source.
And unless they control the scholarship, they don't have the power to revoke a scholarship.
Yes, actually, it is.
Cain never once brought up what you said here which means you're asserting this, no one else. If you meant something else now would prolly be the time to correct it.
What law bars them from not being able to refuse a scholarship?
The uni doesn't get a scholarship. They get money. Money is "legal tender"
As soon as I heard that a lawmaker was proposing legislation to deny someone of their first Amendment rights and to create more unnecessary big government initiatives I knew a conservative Republican would be involved.
