The No Crowd's Intolerance for Free Speech

Another glaring example of the No Crowd's intolerance for free speech. Even if you don't agree with the message, you must give the messenger the freedom to state his views on political issues. If Proposition 8 does not pass, you can guarantee that any viewpoint that espouses classical virtue and traditional morality will be stampeded any time it arises. Unfortunately, it is the state funded schools that encourage and propagate the No Crowd's hate.

This week, American River College students will be asked to recall nine student leaders who endorsed a state ballot measure making same-sex marriage illegal, sending the suburban Sacramento campus into an uproar.

In politics, a recall usually marks the end of the story. In this instance, the brouhaha over Proposition 8 and recall vote likely only mark a chapter break in an ongoing battle between a group of politicized Christian fundamentalists and the campus's left-of-center faction, both sides say.
