College threatens pro-life students with arrest: Turn signs around or go to jail
Good thing there’s freedom of expression on campus.
Can you imagine if this were the 60s and campuses tried to do this with the Viet Nam war?
From World Net Daily:
Members of a university pro-life club have received a letter from school officials threatening them with fines, arrests and even expulsion if they set up their semiannual display depicting the horrors of abortion.
Each semester since 2006, members of the University of Calgary's Campus Pro-Life student club, called CPL, have displayed a set of 4-by-8-foot signs from the Genocide Awareness Project that protest abortion.
This semester, however, lawyers for the university sent a menacing letter to CPL informing the students that their signs would only be permitted if turned away from passing foot traffic. Violation of this policy, the letter stated, would make pro-life protesters on campus "subject to arrest, fines or a civil lawsuit."
CPL students involved in an outward display of the signs, the letter threatened, would also be subject to discipline, including suspension or expulsion.
"Being told to turn our signs inwards is like being told we can express our views as long as nobody can hear us," CPL declares on its website. "[It's] like telling black people they can ride the bus – but demanding they sit at the back. It's unconscionable!"
But the truth about abortion is not something progressives will tolerate.
