Free speech and the University of Maryland
Thomas Lifson
***Begin Quote***
The mind boggles. A student buying food in the student union at UMD wearing a shirt saying “I stand for Israel” is denied service by a clerk who says, “Your shirt offends me, I won’t ring you up.” So was free speech defended on campus?

I know a UofM alum. I wonder what he thinks of this story. All too often, we forget that these “schools” are extensions of the gooferment and subject to the same Constitutional restrictions as any other part of the gooferment.

Reinke Faces Life 
I did go to the Univ of Maryland (Fear the Terps!), but I have a feeling since it was many, many years ago that I attended, things have changed. I do not believe there would have been anything like this occur on campus at that time (early 70’s). But I guess it doesn’t surprise me that today this could happen. We do need to continue to try and speak up for our personal freedoms that contineue to be taken away by the government. (or ‘gooferment’ as my esteemed friend likes to refer to it!)
