Source: Foundation for Individual Rights in Education “After distributing a jocular flyer listing ‘Top Ten Gun Safety Tips’ at the school’s ‘club rush,’ a student group was threatened with probation and derecognition at Lone Star College-Tomball, a public college near Houston. After college officials banned the Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) from distributing the flyer, the school’s general counsel invoked the specter of the Virginia Tech shootings, suggesting that even a ‘mention of firearms and weapons’ is inherently a ‘material interference’ with the school’s operations. The group has turned to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help.” (10/20/08) Link: http://thefire.org/index.php/article/9816.html Filed under: 2AM News and LAND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
