New FIREVideo: College Professor Censors Anti-Obama Comment on Free Speech Wall
Last year, college censorship took a turn for the ridiculous when a professor at Sam Houston State University vandalized a student-sponsored 鈥渇ree speech wall鈥 with a box-cutting knife to remove anti-President Obama speech he didn鈥檛 like. When the students complained about the vandalism to the campus police, the police took the professor鈥檚 side and demanded still more censorship, leading students to dismantle the wall. Morgan Freeman, the student who organized the protest, recounts this amazing and disturbing story in 果冻传媒app官方鈥檚 latest video. (Warning: strong language.)
