Free Speech Beach Ball Frightens Snowflakes

It doesn’t take much to frighten campus snowflakes:

A video obtained by Campus Reform shows conservative activists at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville being told by police officers that their “free-speech ball” was “scaring” students.

The activists, a collective of First Amendment advocates from Turning Point USA, Young Americans for Liberty, and the Leadership Institute, employed a popular tactic of rolling a so-called “free-speech ball” around campus, allowing interested students to scribe messages of their choice on the object.

However, they were eventually stopped by campus police, who informed them that the school had received multiple complaints about the free-speech ball and even insisted that the activists were not operating in a public space. … [although the police] conceded that the state does own the university.

The officer went on to note that students are required to “sign up” in order to “be able to demonstrate,” revealing that “students are calling in because they’re scared.”

All you have to do to get someone to shut up on a college campus these days is be “scared” or feel “unsafe.” It only works for moonbats though.

So much for freedom of speech on government property. It can’t be allowed, because it frightens young liberals. However, you do have a constitutional right to theatrically display your hatred of America while on the job. Just ask National Review’s David French.
